this week i prepaired the enginebay for the 2.0 zetec to go in
and i modified the plate that sits between the engine and the gearbox, because of the starter location in the mondeo at the rear

the original plate and the little peace that needs welding on the plate


welded and painted



than i could connect the gearbox and the engine(i'm using a old camcover for the instalation)



on it's way to his new home


and the engine is in , but no pictures of it yet

i derusted my GAZ coilovers, and sprayed them, they are only 1 year old, but they where verry rusted , i blame it al on the roadsalt in the past cold winter


and i pollished the front struttops, i'm not sure i'll keep it this way , but it will do for now



hopefully i can start the 2.0l this weekend

[dj_yd]

last week i'v been bussy
the front susspension back in GAZ shocks and fiesta st brakes


and the 2.0l in :twisted:



i cleaned the front angine mount and painted it


and al build up





i need to clean it , i see dust in the pics

than came the big moment :mrgreen:
first remove the fuse from te feulpump and the sparkplugs, and crank it over a few times

sparkplugs and feulpumpfuse back in
ok here we go
i turn the key and .... hu hu hu hu..... hu hu hu hu
like i was thinking a flat battery :roll:
got my parents focus and conected the jumperleads and tried again

it started the first time :twisted:
and than switched it of again, i'm running piper cams and i have to run them in at +- 2500rpm for 20min, i couldn't do this as i had a cooling fluid leak
the next day i fixt the leak and charged the battery and started it again
20min at 2500 for the cams to bed in
than switched it of again and let it cooldown for a night

next day i started it again , to see what the idle whould do
it staled emediatly

the reason was that i dismantled the throtlebody and i had tho adjust the butterfly a bit , now it idle's at 1000rpm and 900rpm

i'v done the first miles and it runs verry wel , i'v not driven it hard just taking it easy and run it in for a few 1000miles

i'm happy that it does what its supposed to do knowing i did it al by myself and i'm just a elektrician and never had a mecaniks training.
i'm verry pleased

a few weeks back i was doing the last running in miles on the 2.0 and than this happend
the back end lost traction and afte a few times trying to correct it i whent in the ditch
i had no injuries thats the good thing , but the fiesta is something else
this is how it looked like





the place off impact

the next day when i was over the first shock i started stripping it
the front suspention is al fine , also is the engine , maybe the left rear wheel is bent on the axel, i have to check later, the chassis is ok , only the body has a few big dents

[dj_yd]

i took the gearbox and engine out again
and i modyfied the radiator support so the st170 manifold has a little more room



the new support

before


after

[dj_yd]

the new support in


a new front pannel


and a new wing


the front back as it should be

[dj_yd]

and the last thing i did was removing the left rear, next is building it back up






test fit

[dj_yd]

i will post the last updates on the fiesta
i got the inner wheelarch at the rear back in shape and i welded a new peace on the outside



and than welded a new Quarter panel on






all nice gaps







and because i couldn't find a quarter panel from a mk3,5 i had to chop it and weld a new peace in for the filler flap from a mk3,5


the correct peace for a mk3,5 fillerflap


where it should be


and the mk3,5 fillerflap in place






that's it for now

[fezza89]

good on ya for starting building it again, i think if that happened to me i just wouldnt have the heart to start over

[Sphinx]

I don't come on here very often these days but I'm really sorry to see this
BUT at least you've got the skills to repair it so I'm sure it'll be fantastic in no time

[SLEEMAN]

[dj_yd]

greets

[SLEEMAN]

[dj_yd]

looking great matey when is it booked in for paint?

tnx, i'll do the paint myself at home , maybe in the weekend

[dj_yd]

the last days i'v been bussy
i preped it all ready for paint
i made myself a "paintbooth" with some plastic and 2 filters , 1 drawing air out , the other one blowing fresh air in


in the back you see a clean filter
and then soe paint and clear


the strange lines you see is the plastic reflecting
and the filter did his job




the wheelarches from the bodykit

the boothlid

and the enginebay back in frozen white


there is a little bit of dust here and there , all in the clearcoat, so i can pollish it out

the bumpers , spoiler and the middle section from the bodykit are next

grtz

[SLEEMAN]

looks awesome matey! keep it up!

[jonyb4]

wow amasing project, love the engine work, its very inspiring


very sorry about the crash, but what doesnt kill us... makes us strong they say

very impressed your not giving in and giving a big smile back, fixing it up and you seem to be already back on track with it in some new coats of paint

love it keep it up mate

[Michael!]
