Nice build mate keep up the good work. Also liking the little white glanza poking it's head round the corner I've got one but mines in a bit of a rough state can't wait to see the rest of the progress

[Dave5300]

alright chaps finally got pics up, started putting back in the interior and started polishing up bits of the body, and of coarse the video of the first start!! ignore the filthy cam cover thats just my spare untill the paint on my proper one cures ha

[jonyb4]

good stuff, sound sweet as a nut, glad things are looking good with her

[Dave5300]

cheers mate, cant wait to drive her as ive only done like 4 miles in her

[Dave5300]

engines nearly done now bar needing a new fuel line, and a slight airlock needs bleeding, then theres alot of polishing to do as for the rest of the car, the poxy alarm is playing havok with the drivers door and the idle control valve isnt controling the idle other than that its all good


before i started


and how she is nearly finished

[rsturbonutter]

Thats alot of fluid in the header mate hope your going to drain some out. Still having no joy with the idle then.

[Dave5300]

of coarse mate, as said in last post theres still a bit of an airlock so not finished yet ha, yeah the idle is wrecking my head now, bearly ticking over keeps stalling

[TIL13R]

Coming together well mate...

[Maxwell]

Spray a lot of wd40 inside the iscv and encourage the spring with a screwdriver. Lash it with brake cleaner, blow it with an airline and try it. If its still the same, check the wiring of the crank postion sensor and check the throttle position sensor as well!

i cleaned the control valve when i had the inlet out mate, had her dipped up in work so its as good as new, i think its the servo part thats at fault?

[jonyb4]

sometimes the iscv is knackered as the solenoid breaks down and doesnt work right, nothing you can do about it then, it will need replacing


but tbh i dont think it alone would cause it to stall clogged or faulty

[fiestarsturboblack]

also try the map sensor too mate,

[Dave5300]

shes not going to be ready im afraid lads, im gonna be heading over to ford fair in the daily instead, i have done a few bits to the daily to get her ready tho pics of the daily in the appropriate section :thumbsup:

[Dave5300]

2 months its long over due an update, been slowly chipping away at it and collecting parts, made full use of the drive over to ford fair and got a really good nick steering wheel as mine was knackered from a steering lock that used to be used by the previous owner, 2 brand new vibratecnik engine mounts, made some difference!! a full moongoose system, a brand new drivers side front amber indicator lense, a few replacement rear arb brackets, an 82 degree thermostat, a brand new rs turbo sticker for the back, some b pillar covers as mine were missing, a new light and battery for the key fob and of course some fast ford t shirts, i also got some red rs mudflaps and some genuine ford wind deflectors, think thats all the bits from ford fair then on saturday just gone i drove down the country and got a full mint set of green stripes, a stage 1 airtec alloy rad with slimline fan and a good set of red ht leads, think thats all the parts ive lined up ready to go, ive still to get the few panels sprayed up but thats all down to funds at the monent, anyways heres a few pics comments welcome as always





















all for now
