[fezza89]

that looks really good, love the wheels. i want your morettes

[EUFez]

Looks clean mate. Although I would change the side repeaters back to standard and the fuel cap.

[rs-tom]

Fuel cap will be gOne . Morrets maybe for sale

[fezza89]

i call first dibs on the morrettes if you do decide to sell

[jayrs]

that year is ment to have the leather gear gator mate.

looks really good for what you paid for it

[rs-tom]

leather gator was foul so replaced it . just dint like it . it is a good en and its strait just need to spend as little cash on it as possible and keep on with the xr2

[jayrs]

fair enough mate.

hows the xr2 coming on?

[rs-tom]

Well it's ready for painting now but I'm bit skint I'd like to have a go at it ma self but it's to good to ruin so
Need to wait abit

[jayrs]

i know what ya mean mate, its too cold too, unless you got somewhere warm and draft free, it will go wrong if you tried it ya self

[lachojski2005]

i saw this on ebay,looked really nice in the pics and i was tempted.I cant remember it saying it was a none runner.looks smart now its had a clean.those wheels look mint.

[rs-tom]

they r mint mate brand spankers

[Dave G fsi]

Looks really good mate

Loving the wheels and rear lights too!

[jonyb4]

looks really gonice condition too

think the morrettes would be better black, are them wheels 14's? id go for something a bit different imo theyre dont seem to suit it for me

any plans for her apart from the engine?

[rs-tom]

rs rear spoiler and maybe an rs bonnet . dont wanna spend to much on it really take it for mot and some stiffer suspension

[rst-steve]

That looks a cracking buy for the money, can't argue at £600 for sure!!

The morrettes arn't for me, would look much better with standard headlights imo BUT.... otherwise, top job!

[Max M4X WW]

Never seen those wheels before, they usually have a lip!

[rs-tom]

small update

right i picked up the 2.0 engine on saturday the gammon slipper i brought it off forgot to tell me he mangled the oil pump to oil filter flange removing it from the car so had to buy new oil pump for it wich means new sump gasket, new crank seal ect ect

anyway few pics









workshop is abit rammed but im not complaining





received this today from clarke . top purchase



thats it for now. engine is in just need to finish plumin

[jayrs]

nice mate.
bummer about the pump though, although its not a nightmare to do really, sump would need changing on the 2 litre anyway (unless its been done already) and it woyld be best to fit a new belt to it too.

you need to clean that workshop mate , and i hope you dont leave the boot open on the mk2 like that, i left the boot open on my mk2 for best part of 18 months, came to shut it when moving it out and one hinge was rotted through and just stayed there while the boot folded round it

[rs-tom]

bloody hell lol its shut now anyway

yeah im to fussed bout the pump least i know the pumps good now . changed water pump belt and tensioners to so all good

[jayrs]

tbh the hinge was a bit manky to start with i think but still soild, well was i got a brand new gen ford boot lid for the xr2 anyway (as well as 2 s/h ones) so im not worried.

i'll keep it though, going on rusted panels at ford fair its gotta be worth £300

thats it mate, you know the pump is spot on now so its a worry your never have.
i still havent put the belt kit on the zetec engine for my xr2, so although ive put a 1.6 water pump on it, i might just change it for a brand new one, and maybe pop a new oil pump on it, if i can get one at a good price

[rs-tom]

just a small update iv got the 2.0 engine fitted and runs sweet very quiet smooth engine





and also fitted the spoiler i got from clarke

before



after





and finally a pic of the missuses car



biatch

[Smo]

The FRST spoiler makes such a difference

How come you didn't go for a 1.6/1.8 Fiesta/Escort oil pump, so that you could run the larger standard oil filter? Apologies if you did, just looks like a Mondeo one from the photo though!

[Smo]

And out of interest, how much did the oil pump cost you?

[rs-tom]

na it is a mondeo one mate it was just the first one i came to n cheapest so i brought it . im runnin cvh filter on my xr2 also so just easyier for me when it comes to servicing lol just buy 2 of everything

[rs-tom]

70 quid posted brand new from e bay. was the cheapest about mate

[Smo]

Cool, just gives me a rough idea

[rs-tom]

local motor factor quoted £97 plus vat

[jonyb4]

ouch, i figured they'd be similar priced to a water pump somehow


loooking stunning mate, love the bay, and loving the ST3 is it? i know the indicator mirrors were only fitted to the high spec ones


bet you borrow that now and then
