Right its been a busy couple of days and I cant thank Will enough for his hard work. He has pulled some long shifts on this car but his work is exemplary! I love it, the engine bay is tidy as!

Tested the donor chassis loom.

Image

Couple of randoms

Image

Image

Fuel system finished and all aeroquipped! Love the stuff that could get addictive!

Image

Nice tidy hoses

Image

Breather hiding up there too

Image

Return line in the background

Image

Route to front

Image

One of my favourites

Image

The mess inside

Image

Found the one from stripping the donor loom!

Image

Ready to start up

Image

Forgot to take some pics of my remote filter that I spent so long aero quiping

Image

Image

Put the centre caps on the wheels and got it onto the ground


Image

Image

Some of Wills nice wiring and braiding

Image

Will fixed a lot of plugs etc that were worn/split etc

Image

Then we did this!!

Will get a better one this morning but this was at 02:40am……yes AM!! The missus was not happy! Came down and shouted at us complaining about the neighbours……don’t think she understands eh!

Right finally got back onto the car today after having to go into hospital to get my knee operated on! Not a nice experience but it seems to be fixed...



Image



Started puting the interior into the car, got the carpet in and cut the middle section out to make it fit!



Image



Put the rear seat in and seat belts



Image



And i could only get the passenger side in as I can only find that sides modified runners!



Image



Now I am missing interior C pillars, B pillars are broken, interior door sills, and inside window scrapers.

Well thanks to RSmatt for sending me some hose and Carlo for offering too i managed to get my breather done,

Made up a template for the bracket,

Image

Cut out and painted up,

Image

On inner wing

Image

Breather on with hoses, the one ontop of the rocker cover is going to be replaced with one from Roose so that i get a nice 90 deg bend in it and the correct id at both ends. But the one i was struggling with was fixed with Matts donation!

Image

Strut brace lying ontop,

Image

Now going out to do the heatshield.

Heatshield template made,

Image

And after god knows how many times in and out!

[IMG]http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii133/cutch999/20120506_190216.jp
g[/IMG]

Think i did ok for my first time!

Image

And now my engine bay should be nearly finished...

Image

Tomorrow sort out something on the wipers, prime the power steering and bolt down the fuse box.

Right I have bought both of these to try and connect my shortened my handbrake cable,

Image

Image


the first one is my prefered one obviously because it looks nicer and i will be testing it on an old cable first to see how strong it is, the second bunch is tried and tested but wont look as good, I was going to slide some heat shrink over it to hide them.

what do you lot think?

Both on ebay heres the links....

Right got a start on the boot today, ignore the parcel shelf supports hanging down, the rivets i had were not long enough to hold them!



Had to trim down each side of the boot trim beacuse nothing fits any more!



Image



The floor is now higher than it used to be in the escort, so i trimmed the bottom off, and held in place with the double sided velcro you get out of halfords.



Image



Trimmed so that my strut brace fits.



Image



Had to trim the carpet to fit too, after alot of cutting one small peice at a time...



Image



Just needs a clean!!!
