My 909 3 Door

Lemon-Ade · July 25, 2011, 23:45:47

Well spotted mate

; as I said in an earlier post it was a 4x4 rear end I got for it and yep it is 3 door roll bar. If you look I welded brackets on the arms in the 3 door location as I decided to not weld or mess about with the shell. I think a adrenaline or similar will be on the future shopping (wish) list lol.(as well as a decent diff

)

Cheers Ade

Lemon-Ade · November 15, 2011, 23:24:44

Ok it's been a while, I haven't done much

but this thread is so far behind I will add a bit more

Got all the rear end in.

Got a new fuel tank and painted it up and fitted a new fuel sender I got off e bay, a gen Ford one for a 2.3 ghia with the warning light. Had to solder up the fuel pipes as it was for a carb equipped sierra. Also fitted a stainless tank strap as the old one was a bit mankey.

Cleaned up the wheel arch areas and stone guarded them and Re Painted them black. Then Wax oiled any joints cavity's in side the rails etc

Then got a set of camber shims off Bettison on fsoc as the camber was a bit of a joke

Got hold of some new wheel bearings off GGR and fitted them to the carriers for rear vented discs I got off Matt on here that he kindly blasted clean, top man.
Fitted the new rear bearing carriers and had a look to see how close it puts the hocks to the arch

The shims may need a bit of machining to put a bit more camber back in.

But have kept and I still like the stock 3 door rims so they will clear easy.

Cheers Ade

hi ade good to see a update on your 3door looks great , have you had it running yet ?

gerry

Lemon-Ade · November 16, 2011, 22:27:36

Hi Gerry, Cheers for that mate, I will try to get this thread a bit more up to where the car is now over the next few weeks. And no I haven't yet

it really is close though and then it will need the breathers and header tank sorting and the cold air feeds etc.

Have you had any spare time for yours yet?

Cheers Ade

v6gerry · November 17, 2011, 19:58:42

Hi Ade no not at the mo think its going to be one of those winter jobs , really busy at work 6 till 5 so don't really fancy going out to garage till late so not pushing my self ! got a few jobs to do on car , prob have a couple days over xmas hol's on it

cheers gerry

turboshed · November 19, 2011, 02:21:33

looking good ade,
i still have not done anything on the traction control as yet,but i will do but my car has the front end removed as i had a little off the other week.Smashed the bumper,headlights,intercooler,rad,wings,arches,fans,boost hoses.but I have a child due over the next few weeks so i think it will stayed stripped for a while.
it will be interesting to see what camber and toe setings you get with the shim plates.

capri v8 driver · November 19, 2011, 19:55:45

it looks very nice

fordrwd4ever · November 20, 2011, 13:57:28

Yes, it`s a very nice car indeed.
Have you got the Traction Control working yet?

Keep up the good work.
Hope you get it finished @ Fordfair next year

Lemon-Ade · November 21, 2011, 01:03:45

Cheers for the comments guys, I know what you mean Gerry Im away for five weeks on a solar and sparky course in gatwick next week

no work on the car then for a while.

No worries Graham, I'm sorry to hear about your off and the damage

But congratulations or you new addition mate

and if you need a hand let me know if I'm about I will help you if I can mate. Yep I'm interested too I think they will need a bit of work with machining to get it right as it looks like the toe is out and a bit more camber may be needed :-by eye lol

Cheers Paul Your is looking great mate

How's it coming on?

Hi Olaf, How you doing mate? Not yet mate I haven't started it yet

I hope so too, lol. Maybe you and your bro can pop over and kick me up the arse to get it going for then

lol

Cheers Ade

fordrwd4ever · November 21, 2011, 01:13:25

Well, if you still haven`t fixed it by the end of July, maybe i can pop over to get it working

Should be doable in a few days tho

Still it has to be ready for European Ford Event in September.
(or are you bringing the Transit van over....)

Just pulling your leg tho..
I you really need help, just let me know

QuoteFor sale why mate ? What's next then?

Nothing properly.

I am thinking of leaving the netherlands.

But dont wurry, i still have a capri v8

Lemon-Ade · November 28, 2011, 20:32:01

Is it the UK mate

? and I thought the capri was sold ?

capri v8 driver · November 28, 2011, 21:15:57

The mustang is in the netherlands.

I sold the black capri v8, I still have the blue capri v8.

Lemon-Ade · February 22, 2012, 22:14:18

Ok, bit of a jump but I really wanted to say a big thanks to Turboshed (Graham) for being a star, I owe you one

and starting the new engine with me (cheers Mikey) and working some magic on the Emerald K6.
I will fill in some more on how I got here on the build soon.

Then down to Esso.

Un eventful first mile or two it feels really solid

, the car is booked and going to spec r soon for the header tank and separator, breather and turbo hangars and a front strut brace. Also a big thanks to Fordpower and all those who have given input and advise to help me get this far you all know who you are

and with a flash

Still a way to go but I feel a big mile stone has been passed now. It lives !

Cheers Ade

REGMCI · February 22, 2012, 22:21:31

robrs2 · February 22, 2012, 23:35:15

Looking good.

How much boost is it going to run?

Lemon-Ade · February 23, 2012, 00:06:45

Cheers Regis and Robrs, vids soon mate

Dave said the 2554r s are good for 22psi so anything up to that I spose.

fordrwd4ever · February 23, 2012, 08:32:16

Nice to see you got it running now

It`s a very clean looking car

Did you get the traction control working yet?
That would be a very useful feature to have

capri v8 driver · February 23, 2012, 09:18:24

Very nice car. It looks very cool, top job.

mk2 cossie · February 23, 2012, 14:09:59

very nice indeed

although im never keen on the air filters on the turbos like that

what kind of horsepower is it expected to make with that setup though?

robrs2 · February 23, 2012, 19:53:14

22psi, you may need a bigger dump valve lol.

Seen it a few times, but i would re-route the filters, with rvs tubing to a cooler spot, like under the front wings. But thats just me thinking again

Hi Olaf, Cheers mate

no nothing yet mate still a load of little bits like that to do

Had a chat with Graham about this and we are thinking all separate sensors unless you know a way we can try

Cheers mate, me either

it's in hand but like I said it's no where near finished, I have fitted the 500 grills and these ducts are fitted ready for the air filters to go under the inner wings. But the temporary header tank has blocked the route for now.

This will mean a mod to these holes and I want to make sure it is worth cutting the shell before I do.

These are the pipes I have to get to the filters

At the mo they are almost directly under the bonnet vents so they should be ok for now. If it's not enough power it won't be staying in long.

Cheers Ade
