well if your changing the belt it wont have the marks on and transfering it over is dodgy...... lol thats for if your putting it back after a hg change or water pump ect even then its easy enough to time up the way i said

[Max M4X WW]

I'll be doing the pump as well

[dangerousdave]

i cant remember how the mondeo belts are setup but if its going in the fiesta and you put the rs1800/xr2i 16 v it runs off the bottom pully allong with the alternator!!

[Max M4X WW]

Just to say, The engine is in!

Massive thanks to Dave (~nomad~) and my mate Ad who is franky_db on here for thier help today!

Photos tomorrow.

Awesome project,

The guys at the bodyshop said its one of the cleanest mk3.5 Fiestas they had seen

It looked stunning when they had worked their magic on it.

Any pictures of the engine in then ??

[~nomad~]

Just got out of the bath after a day on this, well impressed with how clean it is, will be one of the best fiestas out there when its done, with Maxs eye for the details. Nice, clean and fast. Ideal.

Shaun, he got pics, so sure they will go up when he can be arsed

Couple of pics below of Mondays work..

Head off..




Empty bay..


Engine came out the bottom - complete with box and shafts to be binned..


PAS rack in.. (needs diferent bolts and a couple of braces I think _


Dave liking the slam panel protection..


Engine fitted with CTS Stg 2+ box and mounts, Turbo soon came off to get it in (well it was half in then we took it off)


Engine in, Excuse the budget cam cover. Some pikey stole mine months ago and I've not had it back yet..

[Sphinx]

You'd never tell which bits had just had fresh paint
Looks...red!

[FRSJON]

come on own up ,who broke the coil pack??.. looking good mate lovely car....

[~nomad~]

It was already chipped and when it was the only thing stopping the engine sliding in I took a executive decision to smash the crap out of it with a hammer.

[Sphinx]

It's only held on with 4 bolts you lazy get

[FRSJON]

well im sure the coil and rocker cover are easily replaceable.. but if you struggle i have both sat here doing nothing...

Yea, The camera is crap though and makes the new paint look orange. I couldn't be arsed to have the bay painted and then us scratch it. Also thought the factory finish would be tougher and I kinda like the factory feel. In the flesh I like the finish, doesnt look out of place or anything and the battery tray will be mostly covered.

As already said, The same pikey who took my cam cover also smashed up my coilpack

Jon, I think a mate has one - Cheers though!

[~nomad~]

if not i have a few.

[RS rob]

i got the brackets for the powersteering, if you've not sourced any yet??
you got all the pipework aswell?
as i've just taken mine off the last few days

[Max M4X WW]

I've got all the piping, Brackets could be good though.

Clark is pricing some bits up for me today so will see how much they are new!

[crazycage]

Looks good Max, you got the alloys and suspension etc yet?

I got some Pro Race 1.2's off a mate cheap, Not sure what they will look like yet but they are being done in satin black and are light so they will do for now.

I have some Fiesta ST brakes to go on, Again - will do for now and see how I get on. Not chosen suspension yet.

Jon, Getting the mechanicals done is my main prioirty. Not really thought about the looks yet. Its still on 13" steels at the moment

little pic of black pro race 1.2s on a red fezz for you.

[Max M4X WW]

They look tiny, But thats probably because of your ride height / tyres!

[Max M4X WW]

[~nomad~]

[~nomad~]
