First edition bought for not much but with a lot to do!
Getting it fully sorted will take me a year I reckon but first off it's been operation roadworthiness and MOT.
Pictures paint a 1000 words
Welding to be done this weekend
Mk3 Mondeo callipers and Mintec ST 300mm discs. Wheel bearings replaced at the same time.
Next I fitted a Hoffman race tube (cos the centre pipe was fubar and these tubes are well cheap ) and Piper back box. No fotos cos the job was awful and I got angry with it
Bye bye shite knackered G max kit
Hello Kilen 35mm springs and KYBs.
Yes I had got the springs on upside down in that foto. Doh!
Fitting those fronts in was a nightmare :evil:
I've done a full service, replaced the rocker gasket, fitted a new ford stat and ford super posh coolant. The plugs were Bosch and I'm not joking, they were gapped at over 2mm. NGK platinums gapped to 1/3mm went in and immediately helped smooth out the power...still have an issue with the car running slightly under temp and the fan not kicking in in traffic though.
A bit of welding this weekend, some new rubber and an italian tune up and it should be worth putting in for an MOT I reckon. It runs out at the end of the month so I am all systems go with it at the moment...
Oh and I have had to order a new crankshaft seal as it decided to blow about 2 litres of expensive fully synth
Oh and I need to do a 'quick' wheel refurb ready for new tyres, balancing and alignment.
