I.Mupferit Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 "A shed is for life - not just for Christmas".............at least, that's what it says by the Shepherd & Flock roundabout in Farnham. Just thought I would share that with you Tony. Why, I have no idea really but there you go! Maybe something to do with the quaffing of the old champers all afternoon. 😬 So does 'contrived' not mean 'perfect' then?

I.Mupferit Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Just so that Steve doesn't get a complex in thinking he has killed off a previously healthy thread and knowing Guy now has his new engine, I just thought I would ask when it is going in and do you need a hand old chap?

Guy Lowe Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 As Brent correctly say's, I have at last picked up the Zetec from Raceline and if your that way inclined (Delbert) you can see it here here Brent thanks for your kind offer, I don't really know when I will be fitting it, I was going to do it this afternoon but the wife's not too happy with that. I keep disappearing into the garage and she suspects something, she even asked me if I had started secretly smoking again (after 10 years ), now she thinks I'm having a sly beer out there 😬 So it will probably be Wednesday or Thursday, if I need a hand I'll give you a ring Oh by the way have you seen my new lightweight CRB here 😬 Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC Conversion has begun here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 In all seriousness, thats shown me what I'm looking for when I replace my flywheel and CRB. All rather daunting tasks for a numpty but Santa (or more commonly known as Barclays instant overdraft) has recently purchased for me . Yes I know mine is a "K" but at least I have a rough idea what I'm looking at. Now can somebody do a photo guide to dry sump fitting.

Normans_Ghost Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Brent, not had a good look yet, it can wait. Lynne went out and took some photos. The o/s/f wheel is about 6" from the chassis and the top of the shocker is broken off. The o/s/r body and chassis look a bit of a mess as well. I'll wait till late january, get the car inside the workshop and strip it down for a full assesment. Suspect a new chassis is needed as both ends look badly bent.

Delbert Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 So the gearbox went in and so doid the engine.

Big Brother Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Apparently the clutch made a loud CRACK sound the first time Guy tried it. Sounds like its behaving itself now though.

I.Mupferit Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Sorry I couldn't make it, family duties called instead. Guy, just seeing your wiring loom hanging out there, I've got a couple of reels of loom wrapping tape (non-adhesive) you can have if you need any. Engine looks very sexy too. The CRACK probably wasn't the clutch at all - more likely the sound of something hitting the decking in the other pictures.
