Supercharged Beige Mk1 Ford Fiesta

A bit of a tidy up

Now the wires are all tidy like

I've still got to sort it all out inside the car

Little pic of the front, though i really doubt my camera phone is 5 mega pixels

Wrestling with the Exhaust

I spent today wrestling with an ashley exhaust system and what a poor fit it is. I need to spend a bit of time pulling it up again. but it got dark outside and i got pissed off.

Small jobs completed

I managed to do a little bit on it yesterday, finished off the wiring to the battery

I relocated the windscreen juice bottle and installed the heater again.

A couple of other pics

Dashboard Centre Panel

A little update, I've finished the dashboard center panel. I decided to invest £9 in the auto meter angled spacers, these point the gauges up towards the driver.

My girlfriend also got me some ram pipes, though I need to make tubes to hold the ventures in, because these are flat on the back. They also look like they have been painted instead of anodised so I'm tempted to strip them and polish 'em up.

Fake anodised ram pipes

I've just stripped the rampipes.......anodised my arse!!!

Gearbox cleanup

Today I've been cleaning up the late XR2 gearbox which I plan to swap along with a decent clutch.

Gearbox painting

I've also ground down the bolt lugs, hopefully this will give better clearance under my cut chassis rail.

I offered up the new ram pipes and boy do they look so much better than the peewee chrome ones before.

Ram Pipes

Out with the old and in with the new, I spent today fitting the other gearbox. this one doesnt appear to leak.

Also rebuilt my calipers.

And I've fitted the ram pipes
