I'm sure most of you will recognise this as Whooligan's old car. I bought it almost a year ago now and am finally getting around to starting a thread about it.
 
When I bought it, it was as is in the first photo, with standard brakes and suspension and an internally stock Zetec. I got straight on to gutting the underside of the car and put some Capri coilover struts and alloy hubs in the front with single leafs and Bilstein shocks in the rear.
 
As far as brakes go, I've gone down the twin Wilwood master cylinder pedal box route with vented and slotted rotors + Wilwood 4 pot calipers. I've left the drums in the rear for the time being, and am looking in to options there.
 
Also installed a quick rack for sh!ts and giggles.
 
The Zetec will stay internally standard for the time being also, it won't break any speed records but it should be a bit of fun at least.
 
Anyway, it's only a couple of weeks away from being on the road now, currently getting brake pipes and stainless hoses made up, so I should have the car back on Wednesday, then will go in for a mod plate for the engine conversion and rego after that.
 
I haven't really gotten a great deal of work done on it considering it's nearly been a year, but I have little free time these days between work and gigs/touring, but I'm sure I'm not the only one!
 
Here are some random pictures. Ignore the 4x4 spec ride height, haven't set any of the suspension up yet.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Josh,
 
Looking good, should be a bit of fun too!
 
Cheers.

about time this happened, 
 
looks awesome on the 8's with the 175/50's, has it got a 5 speed. If not ull realise why i ask when you first drive it...
will look good once you drop it and get those fronts out a bit wider.
 
zetec is begging for a sneaky little turbo on that exhaust side, that'll liven it up a touch.

love it agreed a snail will help this be alot more fun...
 
 

About time u started a thread!
Looks mint man will hav to bring it down to my workshop wen its done and take me for a strap in it!

About time Juiceman!
Looking good.

awsome look. more pictures required
 
cheers

Nice :) The colour and decals really suit it. Can I ask which inserts you used for the capri struts?

Thanks gents. Yeah there is plenty of room for a little snail, I've got no immediate plans for engine mods so it could always be on the cards at some stage.
The decals were one of the first things to come off the car actually, they had a few bubbles in them.
Inserts are Gaz. I've got no idea how it's going to steer really, just will have to wait and see. The springs might not be firm enough, but they're cheap enough to replace if I don't like them!

Thanks to some super dodgy welding on the sump, I'll be pulling the motor out in the next couple of days to have a crack repaired.
Pretty disappointing because I was about a week or two out from rego, but sh!t happens.
