I got it all cleaned up at work and one of the guys in the workshop coated it with some sort of stuff (black) that all our downhole tools get covered in. I am waiting on the other pullys to be done so i will get some pics up as soon as i get them back

 

Closet bufty


Not enough hours in a day

Between the farm and the family

 

Forgot to ask paul does that oil cap have a wee bleeper on it to tell you if it is closed properly

 

Wont need a bleeper. Trust me that thing will be checked and double checked every time i go to close the bonnet.

As they say, learn by your mistakes

 

adding farbon cibre now as well lad?

 

Kenny,

That has always been the plan just looking for a WRC airbox and that will be enough

 

Just some pics of the pullys, Not very interesting but its all i've done over the past few days

Them all




Main one front and back






Power steering one. its a bit pitted but came up not bad




And the water pump one. Came up like new

 

That pulleys look spot on mate

Oh dear, you have gone BUFTY haven't you

Glad to see that you have started on yours going to be good with the spec that you have gone for

C1ARK

Hope to have it back on the road in the next 4-5 weeks. Off to Ford now to pick up yet more stuff

rauri

There are quite a few users on here from the Hill M8 which means lots of people to ask for a hand when i come to lift the head back on

 

shit the bed,you wouldnt think it for the size of it

 

I dont live in the hill, thankfully

 

Amen to that

 

Very true, your fridge would be getting raided along with your garage

 

Not much left in the garage, its all going fast

 

Hopefully the coils still there

 

yeah think the only reason you come round to mine is to raid the fridge and use the tinternet, oh yeah or appropriately appear just before I'm away to start cooking

 

I cant help it if i appear at tea time ever concidered that your just a fatty.

 

Ok folks i have a very small update,

I have been waiting for loads of parts to arrive and have been feeling pretty unwell over the past couple of weeks so not much has happened im affraid

Went out tonight and spent a few hours getting the oil cooler all plumbed in so here are a couple of pics

Hopefully i will start to get back into it in a big way next week and get the thing back on the road soon

 

How do paul.

Shes getting there

Hope your feeling better soon, so you get her finished

 

C1ARK

Feeling alot better now. Been busy building up another Escort Cossie engine for someone over the past few days so i will hopefully get going with my own one this week. Only waiting on a few parts to arrive and that should be everything

Roll on summer

 

Nice to see it all going back together..

Looks really good compared to how all parts came off

 

Getting there fella...

 

cozzie4d

Thanks for the comment M8


Robbie,

Its taken long enough but the head is sitting ready to be lifted on. Im just waiting for some pipes for the Pre-Turbo filter cos i will fit that before i fit the head. Also waiting on wheel studs and my new baby board to arrive and thats it will be full steam ahead after that

 

Aahhhhhhhh paul did you forget about me when you ordered your baby board

When is summer arriving back home. I here its freezing..

Your bro sent me a pm about the white one are you two going to look at it????

Are you also keeping that turbo filter now??

MInd and put that cap on when your finished

 

C1ARK

Never forgot about you so we will sort it out when you get home

With regards to the white one yes we will have a look at it but prob best to wait untill your back. Whenever that is

Not keeping the turbo filter, it has your name on it and is sitting nice and safe awaiting your return and of course your money

I am going a different route with the turbo / filter combo.
