cheers mate, it is a great little car and goes quite well for a 1.1 even though i have not driven it but have been in it..

Looks quite tidy mate and already looks like youve got some plans. Dont like that sunstrip though lol.

Good luck with it!

Nice to another VTS joining the site!

cheers mate it is nice and just wing and the rear arch and door trim needs sorting.

cheers.

loving your car at the moment mate

Nothing major then buddy!

Pick them up from a scrappy or ebay tbh.

Thanks mate glad u like it!

yeah i have quite a few bits from the 2 cars i have just broken, and the gearbox came with it so was not to bad.

yeah i will look on ebay or here for a wing.

no worrys mate one of my favourite cars on the site now imo!!

i shall try and get better pics tommorow

and also need a new batterey for it

it now starts

over the week my dad changed the gearbox on it, and fitted the new one on. today we refitted the battrey and went to start. as soon as we did the battrey the alarm went off and for some reason would not go off unless we removed battrey.

but it started in the end and sounds really nice with the sportex exhaust. just blowing in the middle a bit.

things to do:

passenger abs strut.- hopefully buying one of fossie :)
new wing
respray arch and door trim
fit fogs
respray cam covers
possibly fit standard plates????
remove sticker

some pics



exhaust was not connected to manifold in that pic







found rust aswell but this will be sorted



comments please

Liking the vts Liam can't wait to see it finished keep it up buddy.

haha cheers mate this one should be fairly good once it is done but the money will go towards my first car which i am getting next year!! maybe a cammed vtr ;)

cheers :y:

cheers march, it shoud be finished end of the month maybe as i hope to have it mot'd early in jan.

looking forward to seeing how yours turns out next year :P

looks ok that, how much you pay foe it?

not much pm me if you want to know lol

but know it is a pretty good car. we spoke to the owner a couple of days ago and he seemed suprised it started lol

Liam, U have any damaged vts's lined up? Need a load of front end parts, wiring, starter alternator etc....fuel tank also, Lemme know if you have!

Good work on starting it!

hi oli, not at the moment mate wll prob be getting another car in the new year now, sorry, but if i do i will pm you.

cheers sounds good but my dad was the one who did all the work as i was ill all week, so he did it all lol

Ahh ok mate, cheers, Your dad sounds quite handy with spanners!

Did u say he a had a cossie project on or something?

i take it your doing this up to sell it liam?

definatly mate, i am learning from him he has been doing mechanics and stuff around cars for around 20 years now, so he knows alot of stuff lol.

yeah he has a project the orange car is his in one of the pictures, mk1 escort putting a zetec in it with bike carbs, he only just got it, should be quick. was originally the engine i had lol.

i will try and find a pic.

edit

yeah another one to sell up lol, it just came up cheap so thought i would buy it, and it was only sitting in the guys garage

when are you going to be ready to drive? as in passed test and got your car?

lol tbh i don't even know, i am getting a vtr next year but people have told me the driving age has gone up. but i will be 17 in april 2011 lol, ages away

shit i bet your desperate to drive then, if you get a vtr next year though it gives you plenty of time to get it how you want it first

yep definatly but it is a long time so will try and save enough money. yeah that is what i was hoping to do and have a while to get it all sorted, to how i want it

cheers mate

not much has happened lately but got a new thermostat today and have resprayed the mirror caps silver.
no pics as of yet, at they are not fitted.

hopefully next weekend i am hoping to get a new wing and strut and then want to buy some colour coded bits.

hopefully i will have some pics next weekend

cheers
liam

looks good liam, glad you have got it running, the escort looks lovely, wot engine isit?

cheers mate, yeah it is getting there when the battery goes back in we need to check the alarm and the exhaust but they should not be to bad, i am trying to sort out a wing and strut before this weekend so then everything can be done this weekend.

the escort is very nice, but don't look like that now as some paintwork has been removed as h my dad is doing all the prep work for it before it gets sprayed as he wants it perfect :y:. so should be good.

the engine it has is a pinto engine but i gave him a zetec engine out of a 1.8 escort gti so i think he is fitting that with bike bodies maybe. so will sound great

cheers
liam

hey up mate, aint been on here in a while lol the S looks guuurrrdd mate, and a good buy :)

hello mate yeah i noticed you had came on here a couple of days now, i was going to send a pm your way but completely forgot how are you and you still got the furio/vtr??
