nicely done mate

ford parts cost a bomb, half the time i wont use them as there just too dear even with my discount

Lucky win, but bloody good result mate

Cheers guys

the price of ford parts is just rediculous tbh

I think their pricing policy is "Think of a high price, then double it "

Update time!

Since finishing uni for xmas I have been working solidly on my first RST every day to get it all finished and ready to sell on, and am really pleased with the progress I have made, and as of yesterday morning the engine is now snuggly sat in the engine bay!

I will let the progress pics do the talking:

Jacked up ready for work:



Cleaned up and painted sump:



Cleaned up and painted gearbox cradle:



Cleaned up and painted spindle carriers and brake hose brackets:



Cleaned up and painted manifold:



Engine fully built up with all new seals etc:



Clutch on:



Gearbox on:



Engine ready to go in:





Engine in:





Underneath now:



Needless to say I'm delighted to have got this much done over xmas. The next job is to rebuild the front suspension and connect everything back up to the engine, which I will start tomorrow (hangover permitting )

Let me know what you think

Its all so clean! Look at the underneith of it! WOW. Im actually REALLY supprised you didnt make it near on concourse Dave. After I have said all this, your going to rip the engine straight back out I know it.... You could have in my opinion painted the gearbox, thermostat housing, camshaft pulley, head, block and all the rest. I really hate to say it, but you have let me down Dave . Normally it would have all been done! Whats going on!?
