How long is that gearstick

[285Andy]

gearstick is mental first gear is across left and down like a dogleg box! reverse is like a noramal cars first gear so you have to consiouslly rememeber to not put it in reverese when pulling away from the lights

who the f*&! thought of that

[MENACE]

looks like a nice clean example stick a v8 into it then slam it will look kool

[285Andy]

**EDITED** more old pics. long gone

[Max M4X WW]

Those clear indicators standard??

[edders]

is the sierra box an mt75 or the type9?

[285Andy]

im fitting a type 9 but i need a alloy bell housing. also may have to go trans-x gear kit. i'll see how long the standard thing lasts. it should be fine as the tyres will only be 175/50x13's

and yes, standard clear indicators fpmsl! should i go ambers??

[Ram]

lovely mate, top work on that manifold

[jayrs]

very nice mate
where you get the pipe work for ther manifold and what it cost mate?

[285Andy]

got the pipework from here http://www.solid-fabrications.co.uk i bought (all 304 stainless) 6x 180 degree, 2x 45 degree and 1 metre straight length with post 166 quid. that said, i didnt touch the metre length and ive got 2 and a half 180's left over. not quite as nice as 316 stainless but shines up nice and oncew its had a heat cycle or two through it, it should go a nice caramel colour flanges i made out of 10mm steel plate

cheers!

[jayrs]

nice one mate, does look the b0llocks.

i only want a mild steel manifold, it will be for my xr2 with the 2 litre.

[jimmyesh]

What a brilliant retro Ford Nice to see the CVH-Turbo in RWD guise, not something you see very often - makes a for a refreshing change from the usual route of chucking a YB Cos into the oldskool Fords

[TIL13R]

Wow top work looks really cool andas said before nice to see something a bit different

Where did you get the rocker cover made....??? I really Like it

Tiller

[285Andy]

cheers for replys

YB's arnt for me personally. not only that, i havnt got YB money anyway so that was always out the question . not only that, i like the old cvh! its not high on the old skool ford ideal list as ive discovered i couldnt tell you how many people have told me to "chuck a pinto in it" fook that! way, way too easy


rocker cover is just a ordinary sierra 1.8cvh one. painted by my own fair hands lol!
easy to do, i sprayed a light silver/alloy coloured paint on as a base, dried it off, then sprayed it over with water, then lightly dusted some satin black over it, dry that all off with a hot air gun then laquar straight over the top of it all once its dry, job done

ta all

[pauldolman]

looks very nice mate, well done

[frstvanman]

nice 1

[MENACE]

that car looks sweet and very clean engine and bay,top job

[Liams]

Now that is different!! Fair play fella, I thought I was pushed for space in my engine bay!! Keep up the good work!!

[Ghost]

Love old skool motors,

and his one is going to be a great example!

Trying to get one next year!

[285Andy]

well thats me done!

im finished with it apart from need new wheels and small sunday jobs like finishing the inside of the bonnet and some interior bits and bobs


first drive impresions............ it beats the ***t out of my fiesta in terms of ride quality.... infact it beats it in vertually every way driving wise goes like a train, infact doesnt seem to have any rear end grip at all had it snaking in 3rd gear pretty easily today (caught me out honest ) there's no knocks clonks rattles whines or anything

here it is

















cheers

[jayrs]

[Max M4X WW]

No pics?

[M1K3Y_B]

Looking gangsta mate, love it

[jimmyesh]

Great news that it's on the road - from what you wrote , it sounds like it's a bit of a handfull when you boot it!

[xrsi]

that rocker cover looks like its chucked loads of oil out of the cap!

[cowie20]

nice project, i love the fact its cvh turbo power. so different but looks so at home in bay!

[285Andy]

that rocker cover looks like its chucked loads of oil out of the cap!

thats the paint job i gave it i had someone say he thought (at first glance) it was a clear cover and the oil was dripping off the inside but then realised there was no sign of any rockers etc

cheers for the comments people! been out in it today for a brief bit. it is a LOT of fun if i had my way, i rip all the pinto's out and fit cvh turbo power

jay, ive not thought about the mags yet buddy! still quite a few things to finish off

cheers!

[xrsi]

yeah i realised thats the paint job but it just doesnt look clean like the rest of the bay, lets it down im IMHO as it looks like its either had oil spat all over it or theres been a fire in there somewhere and blistered the paint from the pics!

would have looked loads better just silver, white or black unfortunatly.

apart from that thoits a cracking car and very very different which is great

[Sphinx]

Love that!
