nice car , do you work in the mining industry, i just notice the deutsch plugs and crimp and shrinks ,  keep us updated

Yeah mate well spotted. Scored a deutsch plug kit years ago. Rewired most the car with them. Spent a lot of time trying to keep the wiring neat.

love it, 
seems like its held together well, any power figure mate?
what boost you running? 
any pics of how you have mounted your intercooler
 
sorry for all the questions but im also building a turbo pinto

 
Did a 12.9 @ 178kph last month at the motorplex but kept running out of legs.
 
I will try dig up some old photos before i put the engine in.

this gives you and idea how much needs to be removed to fit a 600 x 300 x 75 cooler in.

Unfortunatley blew a head gasket at the Track Daze Dome day last month

The fire rings and o-rings looks intact, it just pushed the gasket out of the side of the block on No 1 inlet side.
Ended up buying a Cometic MLS one from the states but had to made to order.
Also got my coil over kits finished off and some new adjustable top mounts


While waiting for the Head gasket I also picked up some adjustable lower control arms to try and get some more camber on the fronts.

It handles heaps better now. I seem to have run out of thread on my tie rod ends though.
 
Has anyone heard of a rose joint kit that can remove the standard ball joint and allow for the extra camber?

good work. love than new stance
 
i love its when i see classic ford with decent bikes in the background... 
its funny there's quite a few of us in SA that ride mountain bikes regularly

Cheers. Its sitting at about 2.5 deg camber but anymore and I wouldnt be happy with the threads left in the tie rod ends. I will order the type Matt suggested.
 
I have a giant reign 1 and don't ride it as much as i would like. Great fun though.
