Will be good to see this finished, especially when Paul is sat inside driving it.

[mike_wall15]

Woo woo great news!!! I've been waiting ages for this to be done, keep it up Paul!

[~S1~]

Well, Aeroquip wasnt ready to pick up today, should be ready for next weekend! Bonnet and boot are still at the painters so I had to carry on with other stuff. Finally got the passenger arches and skirt on. Took the wheels in to get tyres swapped over from the KEI Racing wheels to a set of black Khan Rsr's Ive had in the summer house for the last three years! Its currently rolling on a set of old-skool stealths, cant wait to see it with the black wheels on

[MotorcyclesFish]

Good work mate, slowly but surely!

[Max M4X WW]

Orange side repeaters need to go

Starting to come together now! Why the change of wheels?

[heeman10]

Personally, I can't believe you've left the roof rails open, presumably because you intend on fitting those weighty plastic roof rail trims. If it were me, I would've had them lead filled so those hefty trims could've been left beind in the workshop, shaving of a few key grammes

[jayrs]

getting there mate, but pull ya finger out you got , what 4 now waiting for that spaxce and there chance to shine again

[Xr_Dub]

looking good green peace

Along the same lines; why the chrome pieces like strut tops? I mean, that extra plating is only excess weight.

Chrome strut tops are being swapped for some black painted/powder coated items. Personally i dont believe chrome has a place in the engine bay. Al the other chrome items have already been dumped

Unless it says EDELBROCK on it.

I saw the pics before the writing and got scared they were the new wheels!

[MotorcyclesFish]

What's wrong with those wheels?

What's wrong with those wheels?

good work mr s1! i havnt looked at this thread for donkeys ears

[Excursion]

God I can't wait 'till I'm at that stage, Paul!

[mike_wall15]

What's wrong with those wheels?

You're right... such design oozes power, class, and general 2.1 Zetec Turbo'ness
Stick to them!

[Turboboy67]

Black wheels are so cool imo,

I'm putting a set of black Comp TH's on my track car

Time its back on the road that colour will be back in fashion as well

[Captain Tightpants]

Holy crap!!

It's nearly finished!

Any planned date for completion?

[~nomad~]

looked amazing friday night mate. Alex was impressed too

[~S1~]

Got the Kahn's back tonight so had to slap 'em on to see what they look like! Kinda pleased although one of them is apparently bent to buggery so I need to get a replacement.
It gets closer to completion every time I go in the garage, Im really looking forward to driving it again, its been far too long!

[Rhinopower]

Nice wheels chubby boy

[Turboboy67]

I'm liking those black wheels

How long before shes ready to use/abuse then ??

[Max M4X WW]

Wheels lighter i'm guessing?

Tyres look a bit mad, they road legal?

Lastly, You need a proper Zetec-E oil cap! That one looks odd and heavier than standard one.

Don't get any ideas, you have enough wheels already


Coming on nice Paul.

[knuckles]

Looking good paul

Quick question ... How comes the map sensor vacuum pipe from the inlet doesnt have the ford round bit like a normal one ?

Is it something to do with the map sensor being further over to the right ?

[hb69]

paul, what did you use to bung the hole left by the aerial?

[~S1~]

paul, what did you use to bung the hole left by the aerial?

I used a genuine Ford aerial blanking plug. Apparently it doesnt appear on Microcat tho. Its from a poverty spec Euro model afaik.

Wheels are slightly heavier but will do until i can get my OZs refurbed. Tyres are fully road legal. E-marked and DOT marked. The oil cap replaced a naff chrome cap that i lobbed.

[heeman10]

Good stuff Pole, keep this momentum up and it'll be MOT'd come March! That green still just doesn't look at all interesting in the photo's, such a waste!

I doubt it the way things are going, still waiting on the Aeroquip, they've had to order in the fitting for my 044 fuel pump and the bloke who's painting my bonnet and boot has been working in Lewisham for the past week so all his painting jobs have been held up Took friday off work as well to get stuff done, spent it in bed with a hangover from Valentines instead

[heeman10]

Wow, commitment to the project is strong then! Crap news about the Aeroquip and painting The story of the life of a project like this though eh?

I had a hangover yesterday after all that Malibu you were forcing down my throat too!
