imo its too new looking for a mk3, its the colour mk5 Zetec s comes in

It's imperial blue from the escort cosworth, the zetec s is a different shade, so the paint is as old as the mk3 fiesta

excellent news that its survived and you've not given up.

i still love this colour

thanks mate

[Sphinx]

Can I bring my car over to Belgium for you to paint it please
Awesome work!

Awesome work!

if only i had the time to do it

[dj_yd]

i now have everything painted , only the sideskirt from the kit to go.
the spoiler had some cracks in the paint, so some new paint


there was a crack in the rear bumper, at the hole where the toweye sits, i did some plasticwelding and its all good now


the front bumper is "total loss" , a new one in place


the filler hole cover painted


the rear build back up


and this weekend i got the engine back in and running nice
a new rad


a nice engine bay


a few things to do, i have to source e new rear axle and some small details to go

just wow

how hard was removing the batery tray, that makes soo much space

I've never seen this build thread until now!

Read start to finish, was awesome seeing the level of dedication to getting it done properly. When I came to the crash bit I felt gutted for you, but fair play to you for getting back on it so soon and sorting it out.

I like all the work you put in, you've actually inspired me to get back out and finish mine! Thankyou.

Best of luck with the rest of the refit, it looks ace. If I'd had seen this about 6 weeks ago I was driving through Belgium and would have stopped to drool over it


Si.

EDIT: Just realised 6 weeks ago it would have been a bit bent up, still I would have stopped by to give you a hand

it's not to hard, if you just can grind it away bit by bit.
if you want to use it again it's a bit harder, than you have to dril the spotwelds out and they are hard to reache.

I think that 6 weeks ago the welding was done and i was prepping it for paint, you whould have been welcom to come by though

[dj_yd]

i got a new rear axle on and a new wheelhub and the wheel is going in the correct direction

she's back on the road now :clap:

it has been a long time that i updated this topic
so here we go
i orderd a megasquirt kit in the usa and started building it, I also made a ford EECIV to megasquirt adaptor so that i didn't need to cut the original loom and make the megasquirt plug and play.
this is the circuitboard that i made(ignore the EECV on the board)


drilled the holes


i ripped a old EECIV in peaces for the EECIV 60pin connector and mounted it to the circuitboard that i made


it fits in the ford ecu case


the megasquirt loom to the adapterboard


ready

[dj_yd]

the megasquirt ecu i build

2 coil drivers for ford wasted spark coil
36-1 triggerwheel with VR sensor at the stock place
ford mondeo 225cc injectors
stock tempsensors for coolant and manifold air
modified circuit for stock ford idlevalve
MAP sensor on the ecu
extra driver circuit to drive the tach from the ecu
the megasquirt 2


the botem , the map sensor in the left corner


fully build

very nice work, is it imp blue? rare to see on a mk3

megasquirt is a nice touch, you can progress the engine unhindered now


oh and FYI mk3's run EECIV not V

Yes its imperial blue and the engine bay is frozen white
its a nice bit of kit to learn about EFI i've been playing with it for a few months now.
its all set up , and runs great , i have to take some time to wright it down here, i'll do it tomorow if i have the time.

and you are correct about the EECIV , i know it should be EEC"4" , that i missed that even on the circuit board

[jonyb4]

yea eecv (5) didnt come out untill black tops were around in focus's and mondeo's
