Ta, its a pain in the arse because i did all this on the old one but hey ho. I dont want it to look anything like the old one because that pretty much how he made his look (was grey but he sprayed/brush painted a new shell black with my bits :-? ) I dont want to be assosiated with him becauase hes well know as a jockstap. But there will be a bit of g244ohg showing through :)

Was cheap because it wouldnt run and i was cheeky :lol: my last one only cost £50. Will be solid after ive finished.....its just to dam cold with no heater in the garage.

I got bored with the bodywork and started on the hubs, im considering scrapping it and bying a mint frst shell, i had one i was all set to buy but he sold it before i got a chance to pick it up. But now i cant find a mint one anywhere, so i might start on the otherside now then :-? :-?

Anyways heres a few pics of the hub ive made so far, there modifed mk3.5 hubs.

Image
studs welded up first,

Image
machined a ring for the outside, as the evo stud pattern means the studs land right on the edge,

Image

Image
all machined down

Image

Image
Then as the spigot on a evo is 67.1 and the fiesta is about 63 (cant remember exactly) so machined a spacer, welded it on and machined flat

Image

Image

Image

Image
The holes are all drilled and the studs fitted now (i am going to buy a new ones though) and they fit a treat :D just got to make the other one and decide on what rear brakes/hubs im going to use
