you can use your gearbox with the xr2 engine, top end will be naff though... be quicker off the mark

Long as it does a ton i aint bothered!! I have enough points as it is!! Lol.

Danny is wrong, they are the scariest thing ever! lol joking but in all fairness i was/am a complete numpty when it comes to mechanics (danny has had it first hand) but its just one of them things. took me 2 years to get the balls to buy everthing, then another year to get started still not theere yet but by all means do it! i know it will be worth it

think you might need a different box though buddy!

Yeah i am in a similar state. I know i can do it i will just have to learn how ad i go along!! Lol.

[Michael!]

yours 4 speed or 5 speed?

you dont need to be doing 100, 70-80 if suffiectient in the correct setting

[Gus!!]

5 speed mate. I dont wanna be doin 100 i just need it to sit at 80 comfortably and not use too much fuel either lol.

[Michael!]

oh well if you're not wanting to use too much fuel i would source a gear box, as the 1.1 box would re pretty high at 80 :/

[- Danny Boy -]

Diesel box for motorway fuel economy

[Gus!!]

Yeah i'll try n get the whole lot. As i do the long journey from southampton to middlesbrough sometimes!! As a slight update, i bought another stereo today as mine was shagged, reconnected the sub and will be deaf soon!!

[Gus!!]

Just a picture of my other project. Lol. Stripping it down to get painted!! also does any1 know if there is a difference between mk3 and mk3.5 wishbones??

[Gus!!]

Roof lining!!

[Michael!]

Yeah I know the difference only too well

Theres a guide in the guide section have a look it's by jayrs!

[jonyb4]

that roof lining is AWESOME!

[Gus!!]

Yeah i had the roof lining idea for a while and when the sunroof leaked and ruined the original i had to do it!! and cheers micheal will try n find that thread tomorrow or summit!! There probably wont be many updates for a while til i get my wheels. Lol.

[Gus!!]

Small update today. Got some rst recaros!! eveything needs a
Clean and tidy but they look smart and arent too worn.
Quick picture of it stripped out ready to pick them up

[Gus!!]

Picture of me sat in with no seats (being as tall as me its hard to tell) lol.

[Gus!!]

The recaros in the car!! They fitted with no hassle too (makes a change) lol.

The car is getting there now just need some wheels as steels r starting 2 annoy me!!

[Michael!]

The recaros are such a great addition! I couldn't be without mine in my fez hahaha


Make sure - if you're leaving the rear seats out thy you remove all the seatbelt attachments and belts. Because of you get caught without seats and the fittings still there you can say goodbye to your license.

[jonyb4]

good move, give you so much more confidence in the bends!


i love this colour

Who the hell has told you that s**t

[Gus!!]

Yeah i can take corners at speed and stay in my seat now!! Lol. When u say u love the colour u mean the car or?? Not too sure about the rules with the seatbelts but its a bit late now. Lol.

[Michael!]

Vosa bent me over Danny, when I stripped out my zetec s for a weekend.

It's 3 points for the fittings and the. Obviously your car is an mot fail.

When I said say goodbye to it, I meant you'll get Points haha

[Malin91]

Ive never heard anything about getting points for it, I think you just have to declare there not there and fitting need to be gone for MOT's

[Gus!!]

Yeah well we all know how padantic the old bill can be. So i guess its what mood they r in. Lol.

[- Danny Boy -]

I honestly would have refused to take the points and asked to have been taken to court, then when you get there explain to the judge that you was transporting a small chest of draws which wouldn't have fitted with the seats in so they had to be removed and you hadn't put them in/on the way back home to put them in.

[Michael!]

I didn't get points, but I was threatened with them, I just took the fittings out on the side of the road...

[jonyb4]

Because of you get caught without seats and the fittings still there you can say goodbye to your license.

Who the hell has told you that s**t

danny theres no need to be like that





colour of the car mate, its stunning, and quite rare, as metallic paint on a base spec car was quite a big ask back int he day

[- Danny Boy -]

Why not?

[Gus!!]

Its not base spec tho, its ghia!! Lol. All its missing is power steering. Lol. If u like the colour then u'll like this pic i just took when i cleaned it today

[Michael!]

Yes.

[Gus!!]

Yes.

Lol. Yes to what exactly??

[jonyb4]

oh yea... its in the title! it doesnt have an alarm and electric mirrors either, doubt it has the heated front screen too

that a good pic!

[Gus!!]

I thought u could only get the heated screen on the mk3.5?? And the mirrors r they only thing i dont like, i liked the mirrors on my old 3.5. And my mk2 had and alarm that didnt work. Lol. Does any1 know if there is any more ford shows on or have i gotta wait til next year??

[Michael!]

Yes to that picture haha, love it!


Well ford day Blackpool was today, which is usually one of the last?

[Gus!!]

Well i guess i'll have 2 wait for the next 1 then. And yeah it always comes up a really nice colour when its clean i might even polish it one day also i found a pic from a while ago that might be appreciated. Lol.

[Michael!]

I'd be lying if I said I hadnt done that hahaha - when I had my metro I could drive it under the gates are my local morrisons, always made people laugh and got me ahead of traffic when there was a queue at the pumps

[Gus!!]

The fezza aint quite that low (yet) or small so i might have trouble doin that!! Would be funny tho tried off roading a few times and my mate got his red mk3 stuck on the beach (wouldve been ok if it was standard height) lol.

[Gus!!]

Just a couple of pictures of mine and my mates mk3's together
