The famous 1.0L G40

40k miles on it, clean enough. Stripped all the suspension and engine out and wedged this in there.

All painted now.

Started on the engine yesterday.

Should be back together tomorrow...

Suspension should of been on, but can anyone spot whats wrong with this pic?

The list...

should finish up tidy. :) Just don't break it!

I don't evny your list, had enough of too many cars now! Mind you, our unit's full atm.

no hubs/wheelbearings?

they my struts?

What spring rates have you gone for?

if i read right, those front springs are 7" 325lb!?!

Nah springs are 225 and 180on the rear. Suprised you of all people haven't noticed! To be fair, I didnt either.

Yeah somehow mines got full, and I've still got 4 cars at home

Sprayed the gearbox today.

I worked it out do I get free coilies? Not ones like those of course

To be fair, they sorted them out pretty quick.

Waiting on some powder coated bits to put it back together.

Greeeeeeeeeeen

LOL

Got the first batch of powder coated bits back.

Might get on and finish it tomorrow.

swanky! Linking those wheels.

Very nice, front struts the same side? lol. whats the spec on the turbo conversion?

Nah not the same side.

K03 for the moment, 1341, ported head and inlet, 51mm, front mount above, and put this in today.

Couldnt find my stainless gearbox bolts all day

Almost tempted to have another go with the G lader andput the turbo on something else...

Well I've changed my mind again. Parades going more daily friendly spec. Still getting the 1341, but the gaz are going on another new car, and its getting the good old HnR cup kit. Been dubbed project unfinished, as I always seem to start another or 3 before the others done.

Mercs running now though.

My poor mate and the wonders of owning a Ford...

Haven't really done much recently, laquered the starter motor..

And painted a couple more bits, then changed my mind

Painting can so easyly get out of hand!

Doing my headgasket on the Polo took two weekends because i bought my self some silver and black hammerite

your rims are ace!golf 2 huh?

Indeed, started painting things, and everything around it starts to look gash!

The wheels I tried on another G40, and I'm not so sure anymore...

Getting some 14" RA's one in the same colour so will see how I prefer them.

I heard from a source close to me that they welded the track arms on the wrong way round

do we still not know whats missing from the pics of the suspension?

I'm gonna say 1 top mount...

yeah i cant see whats wrong really in the pic

the top mounts there

its not like the struts are two lefts, or steering arm thingy's are welded on wrong

maybes am thinking too far into this

The locating holes for the calipers are on the wrong side?

see i thought that

but if you swap em around in you head, they look fine

its not like the struts are two lefts, or steering arm thingy's are welded on wrong

:lol:

i spy a mk2 xr2 in the background of one of those pics can we get some pics??
