Hi everyone :)

I bought my 1977 Mk2 last December. A restoration was done by its ex-owner nearly 3 years ago but I decided to remove its custom bodywork. First, I changed the diff (was an awfull 3.44) with 3.89 (9/35).
I bought 5 speed gearbox. Now, the bodywork is nearly finished. Next task is the paint job.

Some pictures from the beginning...

spare wheel recessed in the boot floor?? never seen that!

Well, it was adapted from a FIAT 131. Functional but not original. I found one or two boot floors from breakers but those were too expensive :( Finally decided to make it by hand :)

phantom_r32

20-06-2005, 19:45

I DO like that centre console, what is it from ?

It is aluminium but I'm still working on it. It will be better (I hope). The gauges are water temp, battery and oil pressure. The switches are, from left to right, red is ignition, first toggle switch is headlights, then heater, flasher, rear window heater, wipers etc.)

phantom_r32

20-06-2005, 19:51

You are putting the arches back on aren't you?

Yes, they're already on. We changed front fenders, front panel and rear arches.

Last Saturday, we worked on the engine, changed the valves and the gaskets and cleaned it.

Finally front and rear spoiler is done :) Now, we're trying to fit the 5-speed box. I think I should drill both side of the tunnel.

Hi everyone :)

I think I got a problem with my new front fenders. One of them is original FOMOCO but the other (right one) is not. In the below pics you can see the grooves. So, do you have any idea about how to make both grooves the same without removing the fenders? (I don't want to remove them again).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/phantom_r32/leftfender.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/phantom_r32/rightfender.jpg

Btw, the bodywork is almost finished :) I am going to replace the body rocker panel (left side - don't know if the name is correct) I think it's in a poor condition.

We closed the gap in the left fender. Now, both grooves have the same clearence.

Great job keep the pics coming.

The only advice I would give is take your time and take lots of it at this stage. Time spent on detail now will be well spent. So many times, myself included, that you are just busting to see the final color on it and you take short cuts or rush it. Then reget it for as loong as you own the car!

:bounce:

phantom_r32

25-09-2005, 08:17

Well, I'm trying my best and thinking about the details all the time. I am still trying to find original parts. This is really hard in Turkey because there is almost no mk2's left here but I've learned alot from here. This is the best mk2 BB i've ever seen. Thanks everyone.

Roger Miller

25-09-2005, 10:29

phantom_r32,

Looking good.

Must be tough when parts are scarce etc.?

I have a couple of questions if u dont mind.

The sump.......whats that from?

AND

The black spots...what are they?

[shrinking??????????]

james cruise

25-09-2005, 15:50

I think the spots are from one of
those spot guns that puts things
like pop rivets on to the body so
a sliding hammer can pull out the dents
i think.

phantom_r32

25-09-2005, 16:06

The sump is custom made because the engine was from an old Taunus (Cortina mk5) but we couldn't fit the engine over the crossmember so half of the sump is different.

Yes, the black spots on the panels are shrinkage spots :)

phantom_r32

25-09-2005, 16:12

The defects on the panels are corrected by heating it with a welding torch and as James said, before cooling, it is hammered.

looks awesome mate! loving the reverse steels!

i was wondering 1. what back axles you running? it looks wiiiiiiide! and 2. what arches are they? they look kinda like zakspeed jobbies, but arent wide enough?

great progress there!

Cheers mate :cheers:

I think you're talking about the old pictures. The arches was custom-made and the axle was from a granada. All that stuff was made by the ex-owner.

The new axle is a standart 3.89

and the arches are brand new (original).

All valves, all gaskets, sparks, clutch, clutch cable, fly wheel, master cylinder, rear cylinders are all renewed... I am going to buy a new radiator too. That's all for this weekend :) Now I'm looking for new door mirrors.

05-01-2006, 21:42

I've done a similar application before but I'm not sure what to do if the dimension of the stripes doesn't fit to e.g. arches.

CAREFUL use of a hot air gun will make sticker pliable enough to reshape around arches

RabC-RS2-77

05-01-2006, 21:45

I hope I can apply the stickers without a problem...

Use loads of clean soapy water to position stripes

Soapy water allows transfer to move around till you happy with its position and then when water dries out the transfer is stuck

:cheers:

I've done a similar application before but I'm not sure what to do if the dimension of the stripes doesn't fit to e.g. arches. my freinds good with stripes, so fetch it over to england. & let the works team put them on, or better still tell my mate there's good fishing near you & he,d be straight over with the tackle, and camper van. lol :cheers: :cheers: :cat:

Yesterday I've completed my "primitive" control panel. First of all, I designed the panel and had it cut with laser from 2 mm stainless stell. After the upholstery fitting, I used 8mm MDF chipboard for the construction. I covered the panel with black vinyl... To be honest, I didn't like this design and will do it again later.

Actually can't easily find original parts & accessories so i'm trying to do "almost original".

As far as I know, mexico models never sold in Turkey. So my mk2 is going to be unique :D :D :D .

looks good, needs lowering though. Mud flaps would look nice as well.

Today I've done the side stripes (from PJG). Unfortunately, the right side was spoiled by the fuel coming out the cap :(

I made ~25 miles and had no problems :)

Can't find Cibie spots in Turkey but I've found Hella Rallye 1000 & 3000 series spots (~30 and 46 Pounds/pair respectively). What's your advice?

Many thanks

I'd put what you want on. It's your car.
But if you do want Cibi's and they do look god on Mk2's then ebay is a good place to find some

My gearbox has passed away... Decided to have it repaired, cost half the brand new... Bought brand new :D

I've decided to purchase Hella Spots. Anyone using Hella? Which model should I prefer in order to be close to size of Cibie Oscars?

Banishit

09-05-2006, 21:29

hella 2000 used to be the ones if you didnt have cibies

phantom_r32

13-05-2006, 16:32

Thanks Brian.

I've looked for something 2000 but Hella has Rallye 1000, 3000 and Comet 100, 200, 300 series. Which one is going to fit my mex? I am not able to see Hellas as they are only sold via internet here.

Cheers

I've attached the front spoiler and the rear quarter sticker. I'm looking for a camshaft and carbs now :D

Fiber mold was taken from another spoiler. It is hand-made from fiberglass.

I sold my mk2 today :( It was a real pleasure for me to ride such a nice car. I am going to sell my Focus and by motorbike also. It's time to buy a new and a better car.
