a1dale Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just took it for mot last week. Failed on 2 front wheel bearings and also headlight beams. I replaced the headlights for new ones off eBay just so they was new as the old ones were rusty. Unfortunately they are cheap Chinese c##p and don't have any sort of pattern. Maybe someone could let me know where to get a set of genuine ones cheap enough either new or very good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1dale Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks for all the positive comments it all makes the hard work seem worthwhile.

Ian71 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have bought stuff off ebay but most of it not as good as advertised,better to look at it before buying m8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1dale Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 It's hard to believe that they can actually sell headlights that will not pass mot. What sort of quality control do they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuDaBear Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Looks like you have done a cracking job of the underside, is it all running the zt? what spec is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1dale Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes it's running but only on basemap. Spec erm where to begin lol. Mondeo 2.0 engine, calibra c20let pistons rebored to 2.1 think it was 86mm if I remember rightly. H section conrods. New mains big ends stronger valve springs ported head etc. rover 800t inlet manifold with cosworth green injectors cosworth throttle body big inter cooler. Omex Ecu T3 t24 hybrid turbo Powder coated gearbox strengthened with bigger bearing and quafe diff fitted. Paddle clutch Escort mk5 adjustable clutch pedal Power steering conversion Read disc conversion. There's lots of mods it's took me years and I have had 4 cabriolets so just collected and done stuff along the way. The underneath has been sprayed with upol raptor which is what they spray truck beds with. (My mates idea and he sprayed it for me) I'm the oily guy and don't and can't do bodywork lol.

a1dale Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have also had lots and lots of parts powder coated as there is a great guy just round the corner from me who does it cheap and a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1dale Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 All finished and mot'd just needs setting up on the rolling road and its ready for the summer. thinking of a flocked dash and door handles and maybe fitting a 3/4 spoke sporty ford steering wheel as the standard one I think is rubbish. apart from that pretty happy with it at the min. any views or comments are welcome Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RScab Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looks great 4 spoke would be my option but not cheap which ever one you go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
