i think you secretly dont wanna finish this car Simon
because everytime you get close you take something off it again
i recon your gonna get the grinder out soon (andyescos disease)


Looking great thought all the same

 

HA HA its all to improve the car ...... wont be long now dave

 

Love the attention to detail mate.

 

Just spent another 30-40 mins looking at the recent(ish) progress of this car... it's an absolute belter. It's easily one of my top builds I've ever seen on Passionford, if not the actual top build. It's literally exactly how I would do it*.


Cheers,
Grant


* pay someone to do it, Chip Foose style, because I'd be way out of my depth attempting something on this scale.

 

Started mocking up and welding the alternator bracket after yesterdays test fit.

Welded into place

Finished product , bit of paint and a "brand new 90amp alternator" will finish the job

 

NIce conversion Simon
hope it all work's out

 

i like this mod a lot well done

 

Just waiting for the paint to dry lol

 

looking good

 

All painted, and new focus tdci alternator fitted, time 4 the re-fit and get her back into life!

 

hi simon just a thought did you check that new alternater ran same way as cosworth one

mark

 

I hope it does Mark lol

 

All fitted .

 

nice mod simon whats the braket off ?

 

Its a 4x4 cossie one that he's modified

 

cool just not seen one like that before ,new it had been modded mucker

 

Same one im running

 

same one im missing

 

ive now got the choice , either run a cossie alternator on the standard bracket or the focus alternator on the modded bracket ( doubt ill ever use the standard bracket n alternator again tho) lol

 

why did you fit the focus alternator??

 

The focus alternator has more of an effect on the focus' elecrtical system than the cosworth one does.

 

Who did the fab work on the shell?

 

Just read through the whole build there. Have to say that it is one of my favourite builds, the quality and attention to detail is just perfect, it doesn't look over the top, and the whole installation looks like it could have been a factory job. Excellent work mate

 

Nice little mod with that alternator Simon

 

Odd jobs that needed addressing , firstly the bulkhead wiring so it doesnt foul on the new wiper arrangement .




Brand new scuttle panels finishes it off a treat .(simple things lol)



Been playing with the dash too. (dash panel now finished off)

 

Simon could you not do something with the cosworth center consol looks a bit dated, maybe the Mark1 RS one?

The new dash panel is cool...

 

Nah the focus center consol doesnt fit cos the tunnel is so high in the car .

 

Get the twins to make you a center consol...

 

dash centre look's great Simon

 

looking very nice

 

very nice touch

 

it takes quite a bit modding for the frs centre console to fit im cuttin mine u at the min ,nice touch that simon

 

Genuine RS sill covers Ł24 quid off ebay bobby bargain !!

 

Bloody hell ,the thread title makes it sound like your selling

 

i know aye i just came to see how much haha

 

 

Ha ha not at the moment

 

thats what i thought too!
