ronnie did a good job originally. (bar the chopped springs lol) its a pretty good project, considering it was meant to be just a runcheap around.
claire: what do we have to keep quiet? :wtf: you've got me wondering now :roll: lol

i wouldnt say a lump of angle iron welded to the subrame and bolted to the earth bolt on the side of the gear box is realy what you would call a suficiant engine mount would you? especialy when i coged it last nite it broke a chunk of the gear box and sat the engine on the subframe
hence why it needs a new gear box as the casing is nackered and i cant put a proper mount back on as all 3 holes are buggered and elongated out to the size of a 2 pence piece so i have got to get hold of another f20 casing
leccy windows are wired upto the head unit ignition live
cosa rear springs which realy cant deal with the weight any and all the wiring is shocking
all in all its a mess but give me a little time and i will get it sorted

lol cheers Spud! enjoy your read?! hes a delight of an engineer isn't he?! lol
Bloody hell two and a half hours it took me to read all of that, i did think that mount looked pikey as fook but im no fabby or welder so i have no basis to comment on that one though, had to lol at fitting a cav window reg and then wondering why it didnt go right down haha, still wouldnt mind coming for a spy round it, looks like its fell into poor hands after RC selling it though:cry:
I am so showing Mr Watts that awesome sticker lol

sticker was the first thing to go
morrets are beeing stamped on asap
then new bumpers and binning the wheels
on top of that the engine will come out and be refitted properly aswell as completly rewiring it followed by puttig a tow bar back on and that will do

Looks shocking. I only passed a Corsa tonight with a supposed COURTNEY sunstrip in blatantly the wrong font too.
I'm sure you'll get it into shape Ste. It's got potential & its only a hack afterall isnt it?
ste porter
25-05-10, 10:31 PM

but yeah its gona take a while but i will eventualy get the stench of chav out
but yeah its a work horse and tow vehical but at the min its more of a pull me chav wagon

It always makes me laugh when you see cars with 'MOTORSPORT' written across the sunstrips, iirc the font used is Fords so theyre all advertising 'Ford Motorsport' hmmm lol
