Looks lovely mate!

[pornstar!]

Lookin' good man!

You gonna use it before all the new paint flakes off and turns to rust?

Or are you just gonna be a bummer and polish it?



Does look ace though pal

[RS Joe]

That looks Sweeet

Can't wait to see it when it's all back together again (I bet you can't either)

[D9LSY]

[Turboboy67]

Cheers for all the comments guys

Neil, this one is built to be used mate

Today I only managed a couple of hours on it.

Fitted front arb, one front coilover, front hubs, one dics and one caliper,

Also bought a brand new steering rack for £36

Tomorrow will see the car back on its wheels, pictures/ update tomorrow evening

[KEVFRST]

Very nice mate. Paint job looks superb!

[Ratspeed]

STUNNING MATE

I love it more than you!

Is that you love it more than he does, OR, you love it more than you love him?

Well thats between me, shaun and the car!

[knuckles]

im so jealous

i loved putting my car back together, but doing it where everything is brand new and freshly painted must be so enjoyable.

i looking forward to the finished product and glad another fiesta has joined the white side

[muz]

I'm so glad you didn't paint it that original horrible blue! Looks great Shaun.

[Turboboy67]

I like Pacifica tbh, looks really nice on early Escos' as well

I was swearing at you today btw , it took me over an hour to get that horrible yellow paint off of those adjustable lower arms you sold me , they are a much more sensible gloss black now

Thanks for all the comments guys

Pacifica isn't a bad colour really. Just not one of my favorites. White will be much more striking zipping around Combe

How very strange! I was actually talking to my Girlfriend's dad yesterday on the plane home, reading my Ford mags, saying how when I was building my Fiesta I painted the suspention componants yellow and how our tastes change! Spooky.

[Chris 2i]

christ!

not seen this in a while and it's changed quite a bit! good work mate

[Dave G fsi]

Where did you get the new steering rack from mate? I need one for mine

[Turboboy67]

Dave, just from my local motor factors fella, £36 inc vat exchange

Right more progress today, and finally a full days work on her.

All the front end suspension is now on and steering rack fitted.

before brakes were fitted



Handbrake connected so I now have brakes

and back on her wheels so I now have a rolling shell ready for when the car comes home.

Either tomorrow or Friday the kit, bumpers and cage will be painted, I might sneak my fuel cell in as well for them to do

Only one more picture as I'd forgotten to take many today,

[Rhinopower]

Looks lovely mate, white is the best colour for any car

[titch1987]

car looks lovly after seeing this it has made me pull my finger out and start on my fiesta good work

[Dave G fsi]

Looking good mate! Are you powdercoating all the components? They look awesome all shiney black

[andymcd]

jes thats looking mint mate are u keeping the roof carbon or painting over it?

[RS Joe]

Look's Lurrvley

[Turboboy67]

Thanks for all your comments people

Dave, Yeah, the majority of the suspension parts have been powder coated.

Andy, Roof and my brand new carbon bonnet will remain unpainted, the carbon hatch will be painted.

another update tomorrow evening guys, I got another whole day on her tomorrow

[knuckles]

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

I need a UK posting. My car is calling me.

[Turboboy67]

And so it continues

Today the doors, kit, bumpers cage and fuel cell were painted

Doors were fitted this afternoon and I spent the rest of it putting the polycarb, locks , etc. back on.

Tomorrow the cage will be re-fitted, Monday/ Tuesday the kit will be put on, so it will be home by this time next week.

The wheels are on there just till it gets home

Wings are not fully bolted up yet either.



Engine bay is starting to fill up

[muz]

Did you stich weld the engine bay after Shaun? Looks good though

[Dave G fsi]

Looking better and better!

[Turboboy67]

Did you stich weld the engine bay after Shaun? Looks good though

Nope, I didn't bother matey, after talking to a few people it didn't seem worth doing tbh

[muz]

I suppose a sturt brace, and the lower 'S' brace should be enough then. Loving those LEDAS. Wish mine wee remote reservoir, flash sod

[jayrs]

jesus! better get that quick shift back to you ASAP then mate

it dont look bad mate, yes its a good comment about a white car and i half expect it under you sig now , but credit where its due mate.

and BTW, i would highly advise fitting the accelerator cable and bonnet cable (if your re-fitting it) before anything else, cos the accelerator cable can be a c**t to get clipped into the bulk head with everything in the way

[Turboboy67]

Cheers Muz, yeah the Ledas are rather special arn't they

Jay, I reckon you got about 4 weeks with the quickshift mate if thats ok,

no bonnet pull needed, I have 4x Aero catches going on

I'm starting to sort the wiring loom out next weekend

I'm not sure what accelerator cable I'm using yet because of the throttle bodies.

[dangerousdave]

need carbon base plates for the mirrors !! lol looking better every day pal!

4 weeks is plenty of time, i gave it to my dad to do the drawing up as i dont have time this week gone and this week coming and didnt know when you needed it back, but i'll make sure it gets done this week coming if its not done already and get it back to you mate just in case you progress faster than you think, which i reckon you will mate, putting back together is good fun and your get stuck right in

[Max M4X WW]

Looks great, Paintwork done at ford?

[Turboboy67]

You have pm Max

I fitted the cage back in yesterday morning





You may of noticed I've cut the door internals out slightly



Also cut down the dash and test fitted it before it gets sent off for flocking
