my wife would love a splitty, don't think she would be able to drive 1 though...

 

I like the vw campers too but there a bloody fortune these days.

 

Ive now got a grey pigment for the seats totally wrong colour though, not sure best plan of action.

Not much else due to final preparation for another little project that we've had on the go.

Meet Alice, born 27/6 at 1.53pm weighing 6.9 D

 

This car looks epic now! Perfect family car too

Congrats on the littl'un

 

Congrats to you and your mrs matey.

 

thanks guys

 

Congrats on the new arrival!!

 

cheers stu

 

That looks smart as fook with the Escos rims on Glenn

 

took Alice out tonight! didn't even open her eyes.

 

Congratulations on little Alice mate

 

cheers dude.

 

Yeh i miss that car. It did look well. It went through tyres on the rear like no tomorrow.

 

been a long since I posted here
Shes been off the road since end sept. Only started a couple of times.
Plans.
thinking of pulling engine/transmission. deep clean engine sort out any leaks, convert to manual. New Stainless exhaust. possibly selling wheels in favour of escos or 17"softlines.

 

Glad you have still got it. Would you not wanna but a cossie V6 in it.

My old sierra looked well on the escos wheels but it sometimes tram lined. I was running 215/40/16 tyres. Escos wheels go for a fortune now.

Me and the wife are expecting in a few weeks im looking forward to taking them out in the sierra.

 

never really thought about cossie v6 glenn,
I was thinking 2.0 duratec on 45 throttle bodies emerald ecu etc. That's because my uncle is building Caterham thingy using that. emerald have said with stock map loaded good for around 210 bhp ??
congrats btw "them" what you having?

 

Would look good on soft lines...

That's gone quick Glenn, when he or she due?

 

Na a cossie V6 would be better.
Think of the torque.

We dont know what we are having. We didnt find out. The baba is due april the 2nd.

 

so any time now then pal. Alice was due 7th july and she arrived 27th june.


The prices of v6 cos engines have gone up a lot resently...
What as crossed my mind more than once is sell both leon and sierra and buy a mk2 focus st3 around 07 reg are up from 5.5k.

 

I have a boa engine complete for sale mate - Ł600 comes with full car loom, inc fusebox, ecu, engine loom, auto gearbox

 

Yeh not long till baby comes.


The mk2 sts are a good car.

 

Might be a bit obscure and I'll probably get hate mail but what about Saab turbo engine? Vauxhall to type 9 bell housing will fit your box and engine will mate up to cossie intercooler. Loom easy just need ecu removed. Only hassle is you'll need a custom sump and mounts but easy tuned 400 hp on plenty in scrappies for decent money. Just a thought

 

Although r4nss offer is pretty decent !

you know fella. my dad as a saab cabby with a b204 in. I could get complete car for few hundred quid, and theres a lad at work doing this conversion into a Vectra B, hes quite clued up about them

 

Noooo..im not a fan of non ford engines in fords.

 

Why not Glenn? If its cheap power then I say go for it.

 

I think ford engines in fords is certainly a sweeter combo and better for selling on but if you don't like revving the tits off a zetec or duratec we're kinda screwed for a cheap (turbo) engine .Ybs too expensive now ,ecoboost will happen fairly soon I think the tricky bit is the direct injection ?

 

Im just been a pervert matey the heart of a Ford should be a ford engine.

 

getting a custom s/s exhaust made for her, booking in tomorrow.

 

Just had a quick scan through, top work.....looks really good. Look forward to more updates.

 

Thanks Jamie.

 

I've got my eye on a 2000e, blue over silver. Spotted it a little while back and it's motd until next month but sorn and according to the mot history is only 47k and has done very little miles from year to year so think it could be correct as the car looks mint inside and out. Once my weddings out the way next month and the tests out I'm going knocking as its sitting on a little dead end street near me.

Your looks really good on that wheels and you've done a good job bringing her back to health. Keep it up m8

 

Still got her 8 years August. Started to play with her again. Cosworth spoiler. Getting new battery and oil change this weekend.

 

Few new bits. Neil dunne engine mounts, manual pedal box. Cbr1000rr bodies
