your doing a tidy job,been tinkering myself,always something to do.
coming along well there
Great job m8!!!
Thank you
A real good bit of workmanship there fella, very good fab work!
Cheers mate, next job is fitting a rally style prop riser / tunnel and then to create a custom rear seat x-member (if thats what its called)
shells looking good! Wish my Mk1 was progressing this much :P
Watching your thread with interest mate, the next stage for me will be to fabricate something to slot over the rear seat x-member something like below
Not sure at this stage whether i want it welded in or screwed in so its removable?
i don't suppose anybody has a 3" hole flaring tool they want to lend me? they are around £50 - £60 to buy and i only plan on using it the once
Thats a bugger, im not on facebook
ill see if i can find them on the net
Those are some serious skills, wish i could weld like that
Nice job there m8, keep it up
project has been on hold for a few months, ran into problems with where the car was stored and had to move it pronto... unfortunately now its about an hours drive away, i also get married in less than 2 weeks so money has been tight, however, when i saw a 2.0 duratec on here earlier for £230 it had to be bought (cheers Roosie)
so hopefully this will get me inspired, 6 speed duratec on throttle bodies comming soon!
.
Nice one 5tox what gear box are u going to use?
mazda 6 speed from a mx5 the ratios are good for a std box if you use it like a dog leg box as 1st gear is too low
As above, they come up on ebay for around the £300 mark... money well spent
I'd love a new set of Jenveys, i remember you mentioning them before... ill start putting some pennies away
Look Into the rx8 gearbox they seem to be cheaper maybe worth a look...
crickey there cheap do they bolt straight up an have the same ratios as the mx5?
i had better do some research, if they bolt straight on then its definitely a winner!
Haven't updated for a while for several reasons:
- Saving up for wedding (Now married)
- Winter
- Then bought an old land rover which seems to have taken over my life.
The escort is still very much my #1 priority though, now the nicer weather is here i'll soon be back on it again bringing plenty of pics & updates
Cracking work there.
Don"t surpose you have a spare laser 4 spoke have you??
Yes are you looking to get rid??,as i see you have bubble arches.
yeah, a tenner and its yours mate
Hi could you tell me were you got the fittings from for the bonnet struts
Really nice progress there fella. Great to see how your confidence and welding has come on in leaps and bounds
Out for a drive on a sunny spring day reminds me why I got this car
another great thread to read on here and a great project, very nice work.
