ESKIN8R Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Goodluck mate, good to see a car being saved from oblivion! Quote
BLIZZO Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Body looks too far gone to me. This was my first thought, but after a good poke an inspection its rust in weird places, yea the pillars have a few small holes coming through but the floor, chassis, everything from A pillars forward is mint, rear quarter and sills are completley buggered, but sills can be purchased at 150 a pop and rear quarters can be cut from another car. The roof is mint. Time will tell anyway, im preparing for the worst when i start stripping it. We will see.... 3 Quote
kyteler Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Looks like is rusted in all the same places my one did. Weird ass places where you're all.. SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAA? I reckon pull that bitch apart and see what's up under seals and behind panels. Probably still worth working on. Quote
BLIZZO Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 haha eat a dick KY this things staying ford powered, im weird like that. Yea strip down will be interesting. Even if it requires a shit tonne of work im not worried as i can do it myself and i cant exactly go out and buy another shell, not unless i want to fork out like 5-10 grand anyway Quote
shaneo Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Will look great with loads of hard work you can get a whole car now in parts due to the following these cars have . Keen to watch how you go . Honda power would be very fast but do a xflow these car in standard dress are all class Quote
kyteler Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 How well has your crossflow gone there, Shane? Lewl/bitharshsorry. If you insist on staying blue oval, what about one of those tiny capacity turbo ecoboost motors? 2 Quote
shaneo Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Fair call. I was offered a car in worse than this condition a year ago the guy wanted 2k for told me it runs well Quote
Gaz Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 You mean a pinto? How well has your crossflow gone there, Shane? Lewl/bitharshsorry. If you insist on staying blue oval, what about one of those tiny capacity turbo ecoboost motors? 1 Quote

kyteler Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 You mean a pinto? Stop buying small fords and work on your RX2, you slag. 3cylinder, 1litre, turbo. 120hp. Sounds choice. 2 Quote

BLIZZO Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 this car doesn't come with a motor, there is currently a block in it with no head, the heater cowel runner was removed which filled the back two notes with water for the last 6-7 years. Like many others the reason I like the idea of a zetec is cos it's the same configuration as a BDA, and look cool with side suckers, and those retro ford BDA cam covers for the zetec, hhhhmmmphhhhhhhhhh Quote
Goat Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 That shits dicked Jim!. Be keen to see this fixed up though! Ported 13b. Nikki 4bbl. 4 speed. Premix. Sorted Jim. 4 Quote
