Its not tragic to die doing what you love... if you want the ultimate.. you have to be willing to pay the ultimate price!

im amazed how well you know the mk3 inside and out, and also how organised, have you had to make a list or something to know what to tackle next?

bought a series 2 silvertop cam cover





got it shot blasted clean and started removing any cast marks etc
more to come with this as i would ideally like to move the breather, but will have to sort a baffle so i dont get oil spray from the cams




been on the hunt for a rare black washer cap that you cant get hold of anymore,
it will go with the red and black theme for the bay,




wiper motor assembly in




its getting there slowly




also got the fusion fabrication heater cover on which i also sprayed satin matt black




tidy stuff!!!

recieved my inlet gasket from ian aswell as an 82degree thermostat
as fords only sell a steel version these days which are quite thin and probably transfer alot of heat to the inlet
so ian sourced me a old ford style one, alot thicker and wont transfer heat as much,
(every little helps)
new ford metal version compared to the old style





decided where to mount my pectel t2, the old airbag module plate which bolts to the bulkhead under the dash




had some dealer plates, tax disc holder and dealer sticker made up
for the oldschool bridgend ford where i work now, with the old number etc




got my new bonnet latch on and reinforcement bar on, (look a bit dusty in the photo)




also got my new header tank in for now aswell




started tidying my gearbox mounts up and decided on silver to contrast with the black gearbox
weapons of choice, usual etch primer and hammerite which should hopefully give a bit more protection than normal paint
as i dont have time for powder coating at the moment




in primer




after first coat of silver under the sunbed

The view i've been looking forward to seeing, although it still has the old blue cam cover on which wont be blue!!





tried the inlet on to check out the space available



enough room for some piping there behind the master cylinder



the reason i want to modify the cam breather, very tight to the billet fuel rail
