Progress.....


Spent the last week making the parts for the front wishbones, ready to assemble them this week. Showed Johns father in-law the project and couldn't resist doing the following!

Finished with Fiesta!

A profitable morning today (despite a few bottles of red wine last night!).
John stripped the last of the donor parts - the rest of the loom, the master cylinders and the gear change. I acquired some miscellaneous parts from a scrap Fiat Coupe and a Mondeo. Now we can make a bit of room in the workshop and get cracking. Hopefully I'll get to collect my reconditioned Cortina Hubs this week and work can begin on the suspension.

More progress



It's been a busy week. While John removed the wiring loom/ECU, steering column etc. from the Fiesta, I continued to make the secone engine mount. I also had a busy e-bay week, securing an escort steering column and some track rod ends, and some Fiat Coupe back lights from a friend. Tonight, the fuel pump was removed from the donor - just the pedals and hydraulics to go. Here are the pictures of progress so far
