Loving the progress you're making on this mate
What happens when you forget to shave some of the sump wing off when using a F20 box on a small block engine!!!! Luckily it was just the wing of the sump and hasn’t damaged the sump where it holds oil. Heart dropped when i seen it had happened. Rang my engine builder and he said it is all okay to use thankgod. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...80b9cb2987.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b713a7eb58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...db76549423.jpg

Mega bargain front bumper!
I always read you should rubber mount the oil cooler, but never really 100% sure why. Stress cracks?
Yeah I’ve put 2 4mm little sheets of rubber between the bracket and the oil cooler just to stop it cracking from vibrationQuote:

Finished putting the lock stops in the rack. Used lock tight round the outer edge of the washer & smeared some sikaflex around to stop it working loose.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b85f279f7e.jpg
Changed the clutch/flywheel inspection plate, was painted black for some reason so swapped it over

Looks brilliant Joe! Which rubbers from Ka and Focus did you use?
Focus Mk1 Main Rubber, Focus Mk1 Outer Scraper, Ford KA MK1 inner scraper.Quote:

Good info on the door seals, should definitely help someone doing the same! Dash is mega too, I'd love to have mine properly wired it's chaos behind the dash!
I don't understand the lock stops, any more pics?
Yeah I think it would help a few folk especially seeing a few folk asking the same questions about what rubbers to use all the time. Yeah dash is a proper job, everything done with plugs aswell so everything can be taken out separately.Quote:

This then means the Outer CV joints aren’t going to be on full lock aswell and your not doing any damage to the race & bearing in the CV because they can easily pop out when on full power on full lock because of how much stress is on them. Another thing I will be running is a 5mm Plunge spacer that sits between the Shaft & Hub too keep the plunge at the minimum. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...53e5546a3e.jpg

Chucked a seat in tonight and got my position on the seat rails bang on. Rough idea of where I want my steering wheel at as I’m gonna be using a weld in quick release boss because I wouldn’t be able to get out of the car with a standard boss because of the cage and seats. Makes abit of a tidier job aswell https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e70580c3e9.jpg

Haven’t had any luck with starter motors. The first starter motor that came on the engine, was worn out and lazy and the original. Had another 2 starters in my spares that I’d got from my old rally car a few years ago and they were also both not working. New one ordered which should be here tomorrow afternoon so we can finally crank the engine over.
New starter motor on and it cranked up no bother. Engine & Spot light loom are finished. Just Front lights & rear lights to start and a interior loom to start which has Fuel pump, Intercom, Fuel Sender, Interior light and Map light.
Bought a 9” Comex suction fan to replace the standard fan. Much neater and plenty of room compared to the old fan. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b891f600e1.jpg
