catch up update

firstly my new cam cover, not fitted yet waiting for the new engine to fit it to
sprayed electric blue the same as my car, with the qwords polished and then laquered


i bought new outer cv joint kits from fords as i had some problems with mine,
this was a job for the old man to fit lol




heres my st170 calipers after giving them a clean, even tho it does'nt look like it,



i then stripped them down and used some paint stripper to get the old paint off


heres the paint bubbling nicely, ready to scrape off


heres the finished items as far as paint stripper goes


here they are after being shotblast aswell to get all the nooks and crannies



and the finshed items dipped in silver zinc plating


the 300mm discs grooved by my old man (cheers gimp)
and zinc plated again


new braided hoses, as i never got round to fitting the last set, as i sold them to a mate to help him out


my new custom clear pulley cover


some smoked face gauges i'm collecting to britghten the dash up, and keep an eye on levels more accurately


new rear engine mount, to be changed when the new engine goes in


new scrape mouldings/weatherstrip for the tops of the doors,
i'm trying to make the little touches to help the car look clean


new wiper arms as mine look a bit manky after being on the car for many years lol



more updates soon including the new engine hopefully.

that was worth every minute of reading mate, an wesome project well done!

I wish i had as much time and money and people i know to do my car like that

and i really like the diamond cut alloys on youres, they look the best tbh

good luck further in the project and look forward to seeing it!

thanks again for the comments
i've got 195/40's stretched on

as for engine plans it'll quite plain to see in the future updates hehe

got myself a nice runaround aswell
1.1 106 so the fez is nolonger a daily driver thank god
.

another little update of more goodies
seen as though i've got the 300mm st170 brakes for the front,
i decided to go for an escort rs2000 rear brake setup,
270mm disc/drum setup, when i went to pick these up i ended up coming home with the rear beam aswell

its an uprated beam which has a plate sitch welded across the lower section of the beam which is normally hollow,
will have comparison pics later on, also theres polybushes where the rear beam mounts to the chassic
so should help tighten up the feel of the back end of the fez

heres some pics for now

well thought i'd do another update, nothing to exciting but progress never the less

took the rear discs off my rear beam, lots of surface rust but no wear on them, look near new condition, unfortunately have been painted black
so off them came and gave them a going over with the wire brush
you can see the difference in the pic below of before and after


and the other side of the disc's before and after having a rub down with the wire brush


while the calipers were off thought i'd show some better pics of the two pot calipers, undecided about having these dipped in cadium plating like my other calipers as these are in top nick anyways????
pic from the top


and a pic of the underneath


then the old man took my discs to work and grooved them, also sanded the paint off the discs
the results



and two more pics to show the width of the discs as the drum part of the rear brakes is in the middle



going to get these dipped in zinc and thats it then, no more pics of disc's being grooved lol

thanks again dad,

things to do at the moment are:-
-repaint the bigger escort brake servo
-repaint the uprated rear beam
-and make a start on stripping back the old underseal under the fez

well for quite a few months now i've had my runaround, to help keep my fez in good nick after all the effort i put into her at the bodyshop,
so she's been under the car port for sometime,
while i'm saving for parts for the next phase of mods

anyway, went for a spin and took some pics in different locations

hope you like some of them (took quite a few but heres some of them)

few little updates,
not sure if i showed a pic of my new wiper arms,
the old ones were badly faded, not something i just wanted to paint black
so bought new ones from work, i'm very pleased anyway even if no ones else notices lol




also bought new rear opening windows as i'm not happy with the second hand ones i bought,
all new glass, nuts, washers, hinges, clips and caps etc




also took the bottom tray out of my centre console and tried a gauge pod there,
not sure yet, quick pic anyway

What camera do you use? looks pretty high quality!

Car looks good!
