Welcome to my blog, detailing my journey to build a 2.0L Zetec based Westfield SEIW

Sunday, 6 September 2015

Slowly moving forward - had a bit of a faff to get the engine / gearbox straight in the tunnel then moved on.

Quaife short gear stick, Wiper motor and wheel boxes, ECU mounting plate and steering wheel (just to see what it looked like.) 




Front fuel lines, fuel regulator and throttle cable. 



Wing stays


Wheel badges.

next (big) steps

Loosely fitted the rear / side body mainly to get it out of the way - still loving the colour:



Then moved on to the engine - first job of the day was to join the engine and gearbox:


Then the exciting bit - up and in!:
