chaz Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Pics mate, would love to see what you done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rmwln Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 i found the driver and passanger weather strips in canterbury ford garage, lucky really i got the last two going, sometimes if you keep looking on ebay ect you can find cabs getting broken down and you can pick up some real good ones. my mechanic has some pictures of the engine stage by stage and i have some on my old PC that isnt plugged in at the memont, but what i have got is a good phone and ill have to take some pics of the engine bay and the dash that everyone wants to see. this project has taken me 6 years because of money issues, i think im around the £24,000 - £25,000 area lol, only because i got everything i could brand new so there wont be any hickups...i have to try and remember to do it when i get time as im pretty busy at work and only get weekends to do bits. thanks for the replys gents makes what ive done worth while.

Guest Rmwln Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Sorry to answer seans question. it is drivable now its taxed and insured, the power im hopeing to get out of it on Dark blue injectors which are standard cossy injectors is a max of 280 BHP, if i want over 300 bhp i need to go for dark green injectors, its a lot of power for two wheels, havent made my mind up whether to stick or twist. funny think is i entered my number plate into that car spotter txt thing and the other service thats linked into the DVLA and the Police and the txt came back as " NO INFORMATION " maybe its because of the mods lol who knows, it is fully legal though as ive had the old bill rubber necking at me and they must of done checks on it?
