WooDoo's Mexico

[WooDooUK]

This Will be the begining of my Project Log. will try and keep it up to date.

Collection of the Car

The Car Came with most of the bits The all came piled in the car and in 3 large boxes. Below is everything that i took out of the car. However most of the parts do not even apear to be Ford Parts. Possibly VW seeing as i also found 4 NGK spark plugs with VW/Audi Logos on them and a Haynes manual for Mk2 Golf/Jetta's



Tommorow the car will be put up on axle stands and see what the suspention is like and see if it needs a rebuild.

[RS2000&MEXICO]

got loads of work to do there m8...

when will you have it done..??

[Banishit]

PS Nice cobra have you got the Ford Motorsport 427 in it ?

[WooDooUK]

The plan is to have it finished for June 20th Ish. the plan is to go to the Lemans in it

Looks like you've got enough servos anyway!

Tape those aluminium carpet trims to a bit of wood before they get bent - they're rare!

Before you ask the question - it's Beta Cloth that you need for the rear seat and it's pretty pricey.

That parcel shelf looks pretty good, actually!

BTW are they newish 6"x13" on the car?

Let us all know what route you plan to take with thecar as that helps when giving advice! i.e. concours road car, track racer, budget project, daily driver etc.

tbh, im not sure weither the wheels have just been sprayed or they are new the rear wheels are still original with the black paint inserts.

I know the wheels are 13 but not sure what the width is (will check when i get home) it currently has 205/60/13 that are completley useless as they have been stood for 12 years and are probably rock hard.

The wheels are 6" wide

finaly making a start, Looks like the head on my engine has been ported and polished latley wish is a bonus. Unsure weither the cam is standard (says S-723 on rear end of it) vales are still nice and shiney, look like a new head gasket. however due to the head being re-worked im goin to take the block apart and see if anything else has been done to the engine.

Whent out and bought my first few bits. New pair of Billy shocks, and Exhaust system and braided brake hoses.

[Frosticles]
