looking good

 

Swapped the 4 wimpy rubber mounts for these 3 monsters - possibly overkill but it clearence was the key factor here and the new taller mounts are perfect , one thing is for sure ill only need to fit these once! Fit and forget!

 

Wow they look like they could hold up the car , Proper Beefy!!!

 

thats some job ur doen looks good

 

Absolutely amazing!

The car is a credit to you mate, just read the whole thread and I'm amazed! Massive pat on the back for you fella

 

Bless ya - thankyou for taking the time to read through the trial and errors lol

 

They need to! this little lot weighs in at 7.1 kgs!!!!!!

 

Job , Jobbed !!!

Whats next ???

 

Aeroquip and wiring ....nice !

 

Loving the attention to detail Simon you must have the patience of a saint to be so close not rushing to get it finished

 

Cheers Dave , you know the best things come to those who wait! and even tho ive sorted out the fuel pump brackets , im still not 100% happy with them so theyll be getting re worked so they look spot on! just a fettish for perfection i guess LOL

 

just a fettish for perfection i guess
You'll be remembered for it

 

Orite i suppose

 

Managed to get the fuel pumps fitted tonight at long last lol









You get the idea of where theyve been mounted !

 

Looks amazing there, id hate to see it after a few thousand miles though

top work mate really like reading your updates,

 

Next the lines

 

Thanks pal , and unless anythin breaks i wont be looking underneath it either!

 

Yep , got started on the braided rear brake lines aswell this morning! (its all go atm lol)

 

Nice one .....

 

nice set up simon shud be done this year at this rate

 

Yeah should be with a bit of luck ;o) ..... on the hunt for some anthracite 10 x 18 Mo's for a "hard bastard look" lol

 

 

Looks awsome! Didn't realise you're running on a standard rear beam though, did an adjustale item not tempt you enough?

Looks ace!

 

Nah the standard one is fine .

 

they will fill the arches nicely mate id the colour is rite also

 

Need someone to photshop them for me before i take the plunge .... be nice to have both set of OZ and Mo's to choose from tho eh ! but is thats just being bloody greedy lol

 

mabe be just a tad greedy but if you can why not mate ,i would have intermediats (spelt wrong)on one set and some normal tyres on the others

 

try telling richie that he has one set for each day of the week lol

car is looking stunning

 

Had half an hour on the focus tonight so i continued with the rear braided brake lines.....











And while i was down there , you might appreciate these aswell ;o)

 

I'm sure you think it is, but I suggest you drive a Cossie with an adjustable rear beam. Its remarkable. Ian's old Reyland one was great

 

One step at a time eh ........ besides a fresh standard cosworth beam will be easy to shift when i break the focus - shock horror!!!!

 

Looking Good Simon .
Where are you mounting the battery on the car?

 

In the boot , no room anywhere else!

 

Ah ok just wondered as i aint seen it any where on the car yet

 

looking very nice now can you get it running

 

Bugger i knew id forgotten something LOL !!!

Nah Fords are keeping the battery safe for me atm ;o)

 

nearly done

 

bottom of the car look's lovely Simon very well put together, Just the way ford would of done it i think (well with out all the expensive brake lines , posh wheels, 500bhp engine ,magnex exhaust)

 

LOL Thanks pal , just gonna focus on getting the car up and running for now , then attent to all the detail last. btw - its a mongoose exhaust ;o)

 

I was nearly there with the exhaust
any progress is good though no matter how small
