Apparantly about £45 to get the flywheel done!

Nice one fella for finding out about the skimming.
Anyone local that does it ?

[M1K3Y_B]

its the only bumper i could get hold of at the time of rebuild. The bumpers are identical as jay mentioned except the 3 holes and the tiny cut out for the cooling fan. When it gets resprayed at one point i plan to fill the holes.

unfortunately being a everyday, commuting car in central London i don't have a garage or even a nice private driveway

Fair enough mate, i was just curious as i would have expect you to of had a genuine front bumper, because after all you are 'Mr Standard' in my eyes

Mine lives out on the street too, i hate it

[jayrs]

£45 to skim a fcuking fly wheel, was £15 whn i asked when i was doing my engine

We are in London mate!

Yea they are local, just got to get the number from Gav

[jayrs]

yeah true but still

[knuckles]

they better do a deal for doing 2 flywheels. No way are we paying £90 for the two to be done.

[jayrs]

dont count on it.

for £90 i would haul a lathe into the workshop and set it up and doing my self for ya

hmm, no scrap that, spent 3.5 hours getting a van out the mud today, the lathe can stay put

[knuckles]

see, if only you could get these machines set up maybe some of this dosh could come your way

[jayrs]

ive spent the last 2 days shifting all the crap up there, and theres still loads.
mind you yesterday was wasted as the van got bogged down and today was slow going as we only had my dads mate with his 4x4 shogun

Not much of an update but finally had to replace the radiator last week. A long motorway journey popped one of the end caps on the rad. Rad weld gave way. over heating issues the lot



the old leaky rad. Going to keep it as a spare to re core at some point as these aren't available anymore.



one new black aluminum radiator fitted. direct replacement from original. opted for the black one over the (insert ghey rap term) chrome thing.



Since fitting this the car has been so much better temperature wise. Even in traffic.


2 more purchases for when the engine rebuild takes place ....




New Sump guard accessory kit. finally tracked one down via a bit of hunting at work.
£20 posted



Brand new drivers side fog lamp
£18

[1900cvh]

hi mate have you got a part number for that sump guard accessory kit ?

[jayrs]

nice one clark my lad.
as said about that sump gaurd, if you find another be sure to let me know mate.
if not, ill borrow yours and make one

[HCS PIMP]

good progress surely making a sump guard just a case of cutting some 3mm sheet steal and then bending it and bolting in place ??? is with minis

[Sphinx]

Yeah but that wouldn't be factory

[jayrs]

you can make a sump gaude out of 1mm thick steel if you want, bend it right and its stronger than flat 3mm.
as said, its easy to make a guard but if you want it to look right, its got to be done right

[HCS PIMP]

come jay youve seen my bodges before never go wrong hahahahaha lol

luckily my fabrication skills are getting better just keep me clear of stainless i can cut it unless i use the grinder and we all know how that ends up me with swarf in my finger and maybe even my eye

[jayrs]

yeah ive seen them alright lol

[danposs86]

brand new ford clutch - bargain of the year at £22

Special price for you or are they usually that cheap? Clutch for an RST?

[knuckles]

danposs86 - the clutch retails at around £58 without the surcharge.

staff discount brings it down a tad

hi mate have you got a part number for that sump guard accessory kit ?

5021361 is the finis code for that sump guard kit. good luck finding one. The one i got came unboxed with a few digs out of it. May give it once over with some matt black then some wax to stop it rusting from stone chips.

[1900cvh]

cheers thanks mate !!!

[Ghost]

Glad to see your spending your money saved wisely!

We need to go through all the bits I've got and make sure I've got it all before we start taking it all apart!

[knuckles]

replaced my broken rear fog light switch. And replaced my door catches.






before




after

[jayrs]

how much were them door catches mate as i was ment to buy new ones for my rs but forgot

[knuckles]

More purchases that wasnt really necessary



New bonnet catch



Towing hook. Mine was cut off to make way for a mk5 rear bumper back in the recaro fiesta era. Need to get a proper welder to get this put back on.



Tailgate striker



Finally a Brand spanking new ford battery tray

Enjoy

[Turboboy67]

A man after my own heart

love the new bits fella, I got a new bonnet catch off e-bay a year or so ago.

Did you see this btw

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=004



Should of bought new bolts for the door and hatch strikers though

[FRSJON]

OCD!!!...

[knuckles]

the striker bolts are on order shawn

yes i have ocd

[rsonblackwheels]

wow dude!

loads of propa Ford bits

sounds like attaching that rear tow eye might be fun

keep up the good work

very cool

[~nomad~]

wonderful, and exactly what you should be doing, replacing all these bits for new just makes the car better and better. Buy a tip for my welder and welcome to weld it round mine mate.
Also I need to get some prices on some bits off you, will text you.

[tompeteRS]

Where did you get the sump guard from - had one on ebay before Xmas and it went for peanuts. Saw it being re-advertised for £50 more than was paid for it using my listing description - had it pulled by ebay.

This looks like the same one! (Did it come in a Dell box?) They certainly don't come boxed from Ford. You won't find another one - had a RS500 one which I also sold far to cheaply

Also got the same brand new fog and FRST clutch kit here! Think I paid slightly less for the clutch kit

Just needs a new front panel now

[EUFez]

My god i adore this car, i would love to do what your doing!

Always love these rebuild threads.

Gorgeous car, top job mate.

i got it from the national clearance centre somewhere up north. came in a normal box not a dell one.

It was a lucky find on edix
Regarding the front panel... i kinda like the access i have to the rad with it cut. I know it looks untidy but getting the rad out with the bumper off is so easy with it like that

[RS rob]

i'm like you clark got all new weatherstrips,
bonnet catch,
rear hinged glass and all fixings
and every gasket and sensor for my new engine

buying a new turbo bonnet soon as they aint bad with our discount!!


p.s bonnet catch was £13 yeah? i was really suprised how cheap it was

[knuckles]

bonnet would of been my first purchase as my current bonnet has loads of dents.
But the engine is top priority atm.

Plus its hard to find a good re-sprayer that will match it spot on to old diamond white paint work

bonnet catch was very cheap indeed.
