I wont have it going in 2 weeks unfortunatly. It will take about that long to get the wireing done for the motor. I am about to pull the old motor and gearbox out of the car and start fitting all the new bits to it, fire wall and trans tunnel ect. But atleast i know i have a green light now.[:p][:p]

Wow! awesome news about the engy. I thought you would have to stock up on lip gloss to get that through. As you say, now you can get into it knowing its leading to a registerable car. Looking forwards to the pics.

[:x)][:x)][:x)] I was expecting to as well, I even had a razor to shave my legs and a pillow for when i got down on my knees to beg.[:x)][:x)]
Well to days progress is beyond the point of no return..... I have the capri motor out and put in on the scales, complete motor with clutch and presure plate[:u][:u] 220kg [:u][:u]. my new motor is only 180kg [:p][:p][:p]. that will make the car 40kg light in the front end.[:x)][:x)][:x)]

looks to be coming along awesome

The headers are looking very good !

lookin gooood! i still think a different colour to white would be so much better [}:)] those headers are really great too, you must have some workshop to be able to make stuff like that.

No work shop, Not even a shed[8~2]. I just have a mig welder, cut off saw and grinder. I have been doing all my work out side thats why when its hot or raining the progress stops.[xx(] Ive just taken my time.... Look, fit, mesure, remove, cut, refit, check, remove, tack weld, refit, recheck and on to the next section if it is right. I went throu that process for every section of pipe at least once.[B)][B)].
It wont be comming to SFS. I havnt had time to get the sump made or the motor back together. I am still coming thou, I hope.

Bugger. I did without a shed for a year and it almost killed me ! luckily for me, ,my dad built a shed out the back for me in his new house to keep my cars off the grass [88]

Well started back on my escort today. removed all carpet and dash so i can start cutting out the fire wall and trans tunnel. It has been made bigger and patched up with fiberglass and silicon.[xo][xo] have to cut the whole lot out and start from scratch[:(!][:(!]oh well thats what you get when you take on a car that someone has been there before you and not done anything properly.[8~2][8~2]

well after looking at the abortion of a job that they have done on my tunnel i have gone to the wreakers and found an auto tunnel so i will be replacing the lot. also got a good drivers door and maybe some other bits.
just mesured up a 1990 model capri steering rack and i am gettign that also to put in as it far shorter than the rack that i had. should be able to get the steering geomitry right now.[:p]
Now back to remove it all[:-(][:-(]
