Have done some work on the car and the rear cradle with the diff are in place.
I have earlier bought some wrc drive shafts, but they where to wide 515 mm.
If anyone need this center bored 909 shaft, plase contact and they will be sold for a nice price.


I got fixit in sweden to make me some new shaft. I tought I could use to short 2wd shafts, but the xtrac diff is of set and not the same as the viscose, so I had to order 475 and 485 mm long shafts.

I also in the process of overhauling the calipters.


Turbo, propshaft and exhaust are mounted on the car.

Don`t you have this information in your system since you sendt the last package?

 

Cleaned rear bells, bolts and disc in acid to remove rust.

Also repaird one Ap calipter as a niple broke and I damaged the treads(near 30 year magnisum to steel). I had to machine in inserts.
Calipters is painted, in a metalic paint, carbon black was the closest i came to Ap orginal colour. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow

 

Turbo and exhaust on, done some work on the engine net, put on tesa teap.




Here is the calipter in new colour, and the insert I machined in.


The colour is almost green with metalic.

 

Awesome car kh nice work keeping it rally spec

 

Hi do you know the ap part number for the rear calipers cheers

 

The part number are CP 3307. Same in front and rear, Just that the front has a 4 mm spacer to fit the 32 mm wide disc, commpared to the rear Who is 28 mm wide. They are made from magnesium.

I was told that they are obsolete from AP.

 

Ok thanks for that i have a set with discs and bells that i want to sell what are they worth

 

Depends on condition, all four or a set of two? For all four, about 1000Ł+. Not easy to find buyers when they are machined to fit the rare group a parts. But if they are in good shape and you find the right buyer you minst get more. Try list them on ebay.co.uk

 

Brakes and shocks rear put on


Headlamps


Some wiring in the enginebay


Wrapped dp and manifoil, wonder if I will buy turbo blanket to.

Front strut and brakes

 

Hi Kjetil,
I love reading about your re-build. It's good see a rally car get the treatment, and it's looking great.

Given your experience with the group a stuff I wonder if you could comment on my thread regarding suspension - specifically the bilstein bronze bushes that go inside the cases?

Have you replaced yours, and if so what were the measurements, and where did you get them from?
Cheers
Iain

 

Hi, and Thanks.

No i did not change the bronze guides as they had No clunk clunk, and had No visual damage. I cleaned them well and put in New grease.

 

Ok thanks Boss

 

Painted and mounted the ARB and started to put on the arches.
The arches are modified to fit big/wide wheels, so they must be glued on with clear tec7.

 

hi
i have sent parts .i also included the extra spacers and bolts free of charge ,i will pm you the tracking number this morning
thanks mark

 

Great, thanks

 

i hate you..... when you said "i had to let the rs500 go, as i found this more rare 3dr sierra" lol.
do u work in oil/gas industry as the cars you have had are way out of most peoples leagues...

keep updates coming, your work is fantastic, and rare to see 909/1 off parts being made to fit.

 

Looking good mate, Love this car.
Nice tip on the Clear Tec - gonna look that one up.
Cheers
Iain

 

All my bits from MK arrived bang on time recently, had lots with no probs...I think the "don't buy from him" is a bit harsh and should be edited as it was an address issue.

 

I will ignor to answere this, in favour of MK. It`s not only me in Norway who have had issues with delivere from this company. But as kind as I am I will smile and wait for parts I no longer need, but i paid or it, so it`s ok to get it, they might get usefull later

 

No you didn't!

I wonder if the language barrier could be an issue,? I went out with Morten Harkets nanny for Jacob and she used to mis understand me a lot.

Who could imagine international deliveries from a small cottage industry being a problem? If you and others had a problem then perhaps the pattern suggests something else?

 

Yes I actually regret selling the RS 500, but can`t have to many project at the same time.
At the moment I`m building a new engine for my escort mark 2, a 1840 ccm crossflow. arrow 84 ccm stroker(narrow), 83,5 mm arias "one of" pistons, one of long h-rod(as light as possible, but strong, piston is 170 gram lighter than standard and H-rod 120 gram, ported gt head with max valve size, titan roller rocker and drysump, tony law "one of" manifoil, billet main caps, titan retainers, a6 cam +++, hoping to make BIG crossflow power and 9500 rpm +.
I have bought T9 5 speed tran-x with 2.5 1st and 4.1 in the diff. this project might be finished in the end of the summer.
No I don`t work in the oil/gas industry, I`m a social worker, working with child protection in institutions(15-18 boys, the tought ones).

Thanks for nice comments

 

Your a funny guy man, did you do more then speak to her?
I`m sorry, it might be my poor english that made the problem with MK, but my english isn`t the best, but everyone understod me when i worked abroad in the former Jugoslavia during the war speaking your language to americans and englishmen

 

Thanks, clear tec7 is good stuff, not my idea, got it from the dude that bought my RS 500

 

A little bit more, I think she was very religious as she kept shouting "oh my God, Yes!"

You see English is a funny language. You wrote "your a funny guy" but that is not correct and I do not understand. "Your" shows possession as in your car . I think you meant "You're" as in you are a funny Guy, which I am.

 

Wow what an amazing selection of toys, slightly jealous, look forward to all the updates

 

Thank you for teaching me I blame my wife for ruining my english.... she`s from Thailand, so my english has become much worse during the years, but it`s worth it when I go there every year to visit her family

So let me see you wright some Norwegian now funny-man? Popcorn and coke now...

 

Lol, there is Norway I am going to do that

 

Got my parts from mk, all good...

 

Just picked up on your thread - some great cars as everyone says

Here's mine, recognise the wheels???

 

Thanks And, yes..

I would like a set like that in 17-18" for this car to.

 

updates?

 

Awaysome! Great Car!!! Resect

 

Can you publish more car pics

 

I havn't done much this summer, l been waiting for my "one of" motorsport driveshafts from fix-it.
They are now mounthed on the car. I' II take some pics later.

Bought a e46 m3 soon and on my way to Nurburgring.

 

Here is a picture of the complete rear end.
The drive shafts are made by fix-it in sweden, and i marked them and put on some transparent protective rubber film.


The engine and drive line is now complete, today I finished to paint the car inside, and will get the wiring inside back in its place.
Then I can get power to the instruments (oil pressure) and prime the engine with fresh oil.

I`am missing my craddle for the radiator and waiting for someone who will fabricate a group a swirl pot, when this is in place the engine will be ready to be started for the first time in 7-8 years.

I have plated some small parts for the braking system today, nipples etc. sorry I have no pictures, but one step closer.

 

Lovely job
