What's the hole in the passenger side floor?

by **Captain Tightpants** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 1:20 am

There is one in each piece of the floor mate. They are usually fitted with plastic bungs, and then the sound deadening pad is layed over the top. Usually you would not notice them.

I removed them while I was removing the sound deadening pad. Hopefully ford still sell them! :lol:

If not I have a 60mm Nylon bar ready to be turned down to make some!

Looking good as ever Mr Scort. Looking forward to seeing all the suspension componentry bolted up and back on it's feet.

by **heeman10** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:38 am

Oh yeah of course, can picture them now

You clearly didn't notice your friends in the background as you took that pic! :lol:

I only just spotted it this morning! Far too much sauce for Mr Pez last night again! :lol:

Heeman you Ghey! :lol:

Thanks guys!

Well, finally a milestone in the Scort project!

She's on wheels, and rolling. I brought her home earlier today.

And a couple from underneath, showing how the axle is mounted, and also the front suspension setup:

Although I'm not even half way through the project, I feel like it's a massive step in the right direction!

I still have some bits to do, Piece of the rear floor on the drivers side has been jacked up at sometime in the past, so I want to replace that, and the rear wheel well has pretty much got to go I think. I was looking at it earlier, initially I was just going to make a fuel tank the same size as the wheel well, which would be fine. However, I want twin tailpipes, the offset of the spare wheel well would make fitting a silencer at the rear a complete pain in the ass! :lol:

So I think its going to have to go.

I also think I will definately get away with S1 skirts and oversills!

So I have some nice Gartrac G4 wings and skirts I will need to sell, Ho hum!

Thanks to all the guys, for batting ideas round. To think initially the conversion was a ZT, then V6 FWD, now look at it! lmfao! Milestone!

Thanks guys.

Mate - it all looks amazing!

top job!

by **heeman10** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:23 pm

SO good to see it'll sit on its wheels with most of the big stuff mounted :aviator:

If you used the Gartrac arches it was going to look fat and functional, without them..well, purist passion, what more can you say? This way, it's "just" an ERST with a V6TT and twin pipes, definitely not a bad thing at all

Enjoying the view from the back down the transmission tunnel, and MAN I love that sump!! Quality pickup on it!

Impressed

by **chris-fiesta** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:36 pm

more pics of the bay please... if this isnt running by fitp it has to be trailered

by **Excursion** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:42 pm

Congratulations

This is truely a momentous occasion!

I think it's a good choice going with the S1 arches as it will make the car much more subtle, which is what I like..personal taste but I prefer a Wolf in Sheep's clothing!

by **FezzR** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 11:17 pm

cool beans,

bufty standard looking s1 arches
Vs
functional rally look

tbh i dont care it will look ace what ever you do because the workmanship will be ace

cant be assed to look back through the tread, you gonna get away with the standard bonnet?

by **xrsi** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 11:30 pm

looks soooooo nice mate, its going to be a very very special car when its done! really cant wait to see it in the flesh when its at the shows!

all the best with it mate!

by **joe boy** on Sat Apr 22, 2006 11:53 pm

by **Sphinx** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 3:03 am

Mate, you got some crazy camber on the front there!!

Looks AWESOME!! though

Build me one

I'm tipsy btw

by **Excursion** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 3:29 am

Mate did you get my message? The horse escaped. Wondered if you could help me.

by **Sphinx** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 3:35 am

It escaped!?!?
I thought you had that covered!!
Now we're gonna have to go to plan B, the donkey.

by **XRMike** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 10:12 am

looking great mate

by **allinking** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 5:23 pm

Been watching this with interest but only just noticed you working round the back of the car :lol:

by **Pez** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 5:30 pm

Amazing. Looks absolutely fantastic, must have been such a relief to see it all finally rolling on its own wheels! Must say, it'll look the business with the S1 arches, purposeful, but not OTT.

by **Captain Tightpants** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 10:41 pm

Asad, Thanks mate!

Heeman, Definately mate, I'm sooo pleased too, definately given me some inspiration for the rest of the car. I like that sump too! Shame i had to mod the S1 roll bar slightly as it fouled the sump. The RS1600i one had plenty of room to play with!

Mike, Thanks mate!

Chris-Fiesta, Bay not changed much for a few months mate. Check back a few pages and have a ganders.

Excursion, Thanks man!

I'm definately going with the S1 arches now mate, for that very reason.

FezzR, Thanks man!

No unfortunatley not. I'm thinking lancia integralle bonnet bulge. Would have to sacrafice one though, as I'm pretty sure you can't get them any more. Or maybe one from a pulsar.

Xrsi, Thanks mate! Will love showing it off at the shows! :lol:

~joeboifiesta~, Indeed it will mate! See above! Thanks mate!

AndyHardy, My dog will eat any make of sausages, she's really not that fussed. The little bugger is preggers too now. Looks like I will have some new members of the family under my ever increasing umbrella! :lol:

Shinx, I Certainly have mate! All fully adjustable though, literally bolted it all together! Thanks mate! No problem at all mate, shall I give you a quote?! :wink:

Excursion & Sphinx, Nutters!

IanFRST, Thanks man!

AdamB, Thanks for your respect sir!

XRMike, Thanks mate!

AllinKing, THanks mate! Damn that heeman!

Pez, Thanks mate, I agree with the arches, hopefully it will look good. Typically I can't find any photos of an S2 running S1 Arches!!

Cheers Guys!

Steve

by **andyhardy** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 10:55 pm

Looking good Scortchy - here's some pictures of a black S2 with S1 arches on

I think it would look really good!

Cheers,

Andy

by **Captain Tightpants** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 11:05 pm

Andy, Wicked!

Excellent help, thanks mate. Will deffo go for that I'm thinking!

by **Capri** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 11:06 pm

Dude - that's awesome. Truly awesome. I still can't get my head round seeing a Mk4 Escort with a V6 in it. :lol:

I just keep looking back at it, going 'No. That's not right. That's just not right!'

But it is, and it works, and it looks utterly brilliant. Top notch stuff; can't wait to see it on the road!

have you lost your fcuking mind!
i dont think id be the first to feed you to the llama's if you did!

by **xrsi** on Mon Apr 24, 2006 2:26 pm

would have to agree with fezzR (for once

)

....

please please dont get a pulsar vent, it will ruin the look of the whole car!

a subtle bulge will be more than pleasing on the eye and retain fnctionality needed without looking chavtastic, how large does the bulge need to extend above the level of the bonnet out of interest?

by **Rodge** on Mon Apr 24, 2006 4:46 pm

Wow!! Huge hurdle crossed!

As said, i wouldn't go for the pulsar bonnet vent. I'm sure a man of your talents could work a nice subtle bulge in to the bonnet

by **Brycey** on Mon Apr 24, 2006 4:59 pm

Tasty.

by **black2** on Mon Apr 24, 2006 5:10 pm

What a qualoty project, cant belive thats the same car we went to FITP with last year, can not wait to it there again though :wink:

Keep up the quality work.

Oh and that black S2 is one of my favs looks qulaity and is a ZT

nice.

Gareth.
