just a few new bits ive managed to get round to, had a minor operation a week and half ago and still saw now but managed to fit some new goodies

brand new radiator - old one started to leak


decided to wet and dry then paint the outer casing of the fan as all the old paint had peeled off



and a new cambelt cover - i managed to get the scratch out

[Dave G fsi]

Just found this thread mate, your car is absloutely awesome! Soooooooo clean!

Love it! Keep up the good work!

[jayrs]

updates mate
your have something new to fit this week

[rob pace]

right guys, had a bit os spare cash so i thought of ordering some new stuffthat im in need of!

alternator shield, made by jayrs , as my oil return is in the sump, i have moved my alternator forward and using a longer belt so this shield stops the blades slicing the radiator hose which has happened to me before will fit this weekend and update with more pictures


bargain off ebay, why not!


new gearbox gasket as mine leaks a lot, throttle cable clip, new flywheel cover (discontinued) and breather pot hoses


full engine sticker set that i managed to find not entirely sure where the 3 stickers on the far right go, anyone want to spread some light??


fully refurbished standard alloys, bargain for these so i had to buy them (my others are for sale in parts for section )


check for some more updates in the next few days as im collecting more stuff on sunday

[fiend]

I think the white sticker on the far right goes on the left of the rock cover, there should be a small indent on the cover?

EDIT - Found a picture, the throttle cable is covering it slightly...

[jayrs]

the yellow one i belive goes on the battery, the white one as said above is for rocker cover, and the other too im not sure on aas not all fords came with these as far as i know, from what ive seen they get put in different places, but ive seen them on escorts before though.

you know im tempted to make another one of them shields for my own car

[Ram]

nice touch going back to standard wheels, if the rest of my car was standard id do that too.

where did you get the sticker set from, i bought a basic kit but wouldnt mind a few of the ones you got there

well im not putting the standard wheels on yet, just saw them at a good price

the stickers were bought from tremona garage, £22 for the set whch sounds steep but worth it i think.

just need to find out where them 2 blue stickers go

[rob pace]

done a few things on the fiesta today as i had some spare time

alternator shield that jayrs made me, all fitted and perfect, now i wont shread my radiator hose above


had to remove the turbo today as the rear water coolant copper washers had started leaking on the T2 , wasnt going to bother, but it bugged me so i removed the turbo, used a bit of sealant with the new washers and job done


brand new genuine ford non ABS master cylinder and brake resivoir yes the ABS is going as its absolute crap and the brake pedal has no feel


full set of non-ABS front and rear brake lines in excellent condition and no corrosion, removed from an rs turbo. im going back to the factory non-ABS look here. not sure if to use the rear lines, or just remove the ABS spring load valves on the back and just make some copper lines to connect to the drums

[Dave G fsi]

Looks good mate! I want that master cylinder! Looks soooooooooo good!

[jayrs]

glad your happy with the sheild mate.
did it need any tweeking at all?

fit the whole non abs lines as said in pm mate

[rob pace]

no, just bolted straight on and perfect mate

[jayrs]

cool

[rob pace]

cool

do you have to lower the fuel tank when you fit the rear lines? as the guy said he had to when he removed these

[jayrs]

could get away without dropping the tank in a way, but dropping it will make the job a lot easier

[rob pace]

as the sun was out and i didnt drink 15 pints of strongbow last night i thought it would be a good idea to give the rear inner arches a good clean with a jet washer on low settings and a good shampoo with turtlewax couldnt get every spec of dirt out but has nearly come out looking like new and absolutely no signs of rust anywhere

drivers side arch





passenger side arch and fuel filler area






some quick snaps

[jonboisescort]

going to clean my arches tomoz as there filthy

[rob pace]

[jonboisescort]

might leave mine probs underseal holding the car together

[Dave G fsi]

Looks brilliant mate! Inspired me to paint mine on the rs now

[jayrs]

[XR2i16pfau]

[Ram]

its all factory mate car is never driven in rain so the tin worn wont attack

[knuckles]

about time you went back to standard alloys

p.s - whats the use by date on that ford spray paint you got off ebay ?

[rob pace]

not sure mate, i wanted it for my front arch scratch but its a bit too dark as i tested some! i might go back to standard alloys, but i want to get some genunine suspension but thats going to burn a hole in my pocket

can i ask where does that fuel sticker go you had? and the ok for shipment sticker? (think it goes on cam cover?)

[knuckles]

the fuel sticker believe it or not goes on the inside of the mk3.5 fuel flap.

the ok for shipment sticker goes ontop of the cam belt cover.

have a look at a few concours bay pics to confirm exact places or even catalogue pics

[ooral]

Just read through this, 'stunning condition' looks as though its only going to get better as well!


Well [ERRR]!
