[keithcdb]

Credit to you mate, looks like top quality work. Keep it up

[knuckles]

i spy some ford sealant

[Liams]

Blimey....... havent updated on here for a while!!! Suppose I better do one.

Im sure most of you will have seen classic ford last month, well that was me and calums grafters feature so you will have seen some piccys of the cars as thay are now!!

My last post was talking about getting the intercooler done, heres some piccies of how it is






Few things have changed around in the engine bay dew to the amount of room we have to play with, breather you see in the pics is going the other side along with the header tank nearer the front re-sessed in the inner wing :mrgreen: All of this is trial and error really



Also the exhaust manifold is done, SIMPSONS have made an awsome job of it. Few things may need altering as of turbo change but...







Axle is back in, going with the tramp bars and panhard rod to begin with, see how it copes?!




We ended up doing an exhaust tunnel aswell as a 3" system isnt going to fit underneath Should do the job just extending off of the gearbox tunnel..



Fuel tank is sitting in the boot also but have no photos as of yet so il leave with a few piccies of the car... Oh and also have the new turbo which il get a photo of.. only a baby mind dew





One of me faves :mrgreen:



Will do another update in a bit, cheers for looking

Liam

Cheers for the comments guys!! Been trying to sort out the engine bay today... fillerering the inner wings trying to smooth things out I hate body work!!!!

Anyways got a couple of piccies of the engine!

Cams and pulleys are away being dowled at the mo, hence why there missing from the head!! Hopefully painting the custom sump tomz and should have the cams back early part of next week. Engine should then be complete.... i hope

[285Andy]

[Liams]

Tell me about it Mk1 cortina only went missing last week! From the same area practically!!

[Liams]

A little update

Heres some pics from the weekend :mrgreen:

I started the friday evening off by making the alloy plate for the floor in the boot replacing the origional petrol tank. This is going to stay removal hense not welding it up with steel. I think my fuel pump and filter will make there way onto this in some kind of a bracket...



Then I got on with finishing the prepping to the engine bay and started masking I hate filler and anything to do with it!! Actually I dont like bodywork full stop... and I take on a mk1 cortina :?



Another mate came down to lend a hand :mrgreen:

Packed up around half 1am and got set up for sat morning.

First thing sat morning got the car in the oven and finished off masking and looked out for any spots I might of missed... which paint just happens to bring out!!!



Calum helped.... whilst modelling his ugly mug on my inner wing...



You cant be too carefull about overspray




Started by spraying etch (spelling) prima on all bare metal to give it a good key..





Followed by the grey prima





We left the car all day so the prima could go off so we got on with cals car.

Then around 10pm we got back on with the miss coat and then the flatterening





It took both of us a good few hours to flattern and started to prep for the colour around midnight :mrgreen: :ykt:

The colour


Let the spraying commence, I got the best sprayer in town...









Finished sat night well sunday morning 2.30am. We were back down there for 9.30am to finish off by body guarding the chassis rails and front panel..
The end result which im very chuffed with


The roof of the car will be sprayed to match at a slightly later date and maybe next year the whole car may go that colour?! Ermine white...

Also in the spare time we had over the weekend we panelled out the back of cals 100e with alloy and got all that painted also to match

All in all we got loadsa done so were very happy :mrgreen:
Cal was flat out all weekend helping me with the cortina whilst trying to do his own car... he looked like this by the end of it... CHEERS MATE!!

[jayrs]

nice work there mate, and plenty of attention to detail

dont paint the whole car white though, im not saying that cos of the red and white thing, mind you it would look good in red, no anyway, leave it the colour is is now mate

[MENACE]

impressive work you are doing there mate,i would say leave the car the colour it is looks nice

[M1K3Y_B]

How cool is this car

Nice one

[Liams]

Jayrs, who said anything about red lol?? Theres nothing red on the car? Or am I getting confused with something else


The car will be staying the same colour for now... Its only if things start to pop up and it needs attention then it will all get done!! Oh and if I have a spare 10k laying around lol

cheers for the comments

[M1K3Y_B]

Please don't change the colour, it suits it

[285Andy]

great work mate

[jimmyesh]

Top work mate - saw you and Calum in a mag recently, both projects look Nice to see a Zetec Turbo rather than the more common Pinto or YB route

[Liams]

jimmyesh- Yeah it just means im the guinney pig lol, but should be worth it!!

Got all the brake lines in this weekend One job less to do!! Hopefully make a start on the wiring this weekend Dont like wiring...

Jayrs, who said anything about red lol?? Theres nothing red on the car? Or am I getting confused with something else

I'm guessing it's aimed at the well known debate on here as to whether Red or White is better
