magic mate! love the attention to detail in this car!

Poor garage door!!

[cutch]

Cranking an testing everything before start up

[cutch]

Right its been a busy couple of days and I cant thank Will enough for his hard work. He has pulled some long shifts on this car but his work is exemplary! I love it, the engine bay is tidy as!

Tested the donor chassis loom.



Couple of randoms





Fuel system finished and all aeroquipped! Love the stuff that could get addictive!



Nice tidy hoses



Breather hiding up there too



Return line in the background



Route to front



One of my favourites



The mess inside



Found the one from stripping the donor loom!



Ready to start up



Forgot to take some pics of my remote filter that I spent so long aero quiping





Put the centre caps on the wheels and got it onto the ground






Some of Wills nice wiring and braiding



Will fixed a lot of plugs etc that were worn/split etc



Then we did this!!

Will get a better one this morning but this was at 02:40am……yes AM!! The missus was not happy! Came down and shouted at us complaining about the neighbours……don’t think she understands eh!

[cutch]

[Stevie8ball]

Looks fookin minted hard graft has paid off

[cutch]

Well the cars back in its hole for a while!











Forgot the strut brace the other day so laid it on for a quick snap

[cutch]

Right finally got back onto the car today after having to go into hospital to get my knee operated on! Not a nice experience but it seems to be fixed...







Started puting the interior into the car, got the carpet in and cut the middle section out to make it fit!







Put the rear seat in and seat belts







And i could only get the passenger side in as I can only find that sides modified runners!







Now I am missing interior C pillars, B pillars are broken, interior door sills, and inside window scrapers.

[DALSY]

wont be long now cutch, when is its first outing?

cars looking brilliant

[cutch]

next time i am home mate (another month), still got to tidy up some wiring,

Gibby said that you have the tool for the gromits that hold on the rear spoiler? Would it be possible to borrow it one day next week, its going up to Allys to finish all the kit caps.

[Stu/RS]

Nearly there Cutch Lovin' this thread

Diamond Cuts are deffo the way to go...... standard-ish/ sleeper looks, but "COSWORTH" power, great combo

[cutch]

Well thanks to RSmatt for sending me some hose and Carlo for offering too i managed to get my breather done,

Made up a template for the bracket,



Cut out and painted up,



On inner wing



Breather on with hoses, the one ontop of the rocker cover is going to be replaced with one from Roose so that i get a nice 90 deg bend in it and the correct id at both ends. But the one i was struggling with was fixed with Matts donation!



Strut brace lying ontop,



Now going out to do the heatshield.

Heatshield template made,



And after god knows how many times in and out!

Think i did ok for my first time!



And now my engine bay should be nearly finished...



Tomorrow sort out something on the wipers, prime the power steering and bolt down the fuse box.

[cutch]

Right I have bought both of these to try and connect my shortened my handbrake cable,






the first one is my prefered one obviously because it looks nicer and i will be testing it on an old cable first to see how strong it is, the second bunch is tried and tested but wont look as good, I was going to slide some heat shrink over it to hide them.

what do you lot think?

Both on ebay heres the links....

Right got a start on the boot today, ignore the parcel shelf supports hanging down, the rivets i had were not long enough to hold them!



Had to trim down each side of the boot trim beacuse nothing fits any more!







The floor is now higher than it used to be in the escort, so i trimmed the bottom off, and held in place with the double sided velcro you get out of halfords.







Trimmed so that my strut brace fits.







Had to trim the carpet to fit too, after alot of cutting one small peice at a time...







Just needs a clean!!!

[boeb]
