My new project!

1995 Ford Mondeo 24v V6 Si saloon
82,000 genuine miles
£350!  8)











Ignore Nipsy under the front end...  I told him to put the handbrake on

As soon as the civic is gone, which i hope will be sooner rather than later, i will really get going!

I was originally planning on buying a 4x4 Si and doing either a Zetec turbo or Focus RS conversion, but decided that these would both be way to pricey to consider, so decided to go for the 24v duratec power plant instead. Good figures out of the box, and tunable.

So far i have managed to source

Standard front bumper
Phase 1 RS front skirt, sides and fogs.
Mk2 dash with trip computer

The list of parts to purchase/source

Phase 1 RS rear skirt and bumper
Phase 1 RS spoiler
Mk2 Focus RS alloys in 4x108
Suspension setup
Polybush everything
Exhaust system. Single or twin? Not decided yet
Induction kit
Morette Headlamps
Mk2 Recaro leather interior

And then it will be over to ISLA Motorsport for the respray.. Havnt fully decided on a colour yet, but i was swaying towards a dark metallic graphite...?

I feel like a 5 year old at Christmas and cannot wait to get started! When its finished it will be a car Mod Evo can be proud of!

Car Mod Evo can be proud of??

Nice to have a fellow Mk1 saloon being done as a project, looks like being a good one!  I have the Powerflex polly bushes for sale in the sales section if you interested mate.

Also click on my diary link at the bottom of my sig for the bits I am doing to mine.

[Kev B]

Ooops.. copy and pasted it from my local car club where i am an admin.. Must have missed that bit

Thanks for the heads up about the polybushes, but unfortunately, until my TypeR is gone, i can do no more spending..

Update from Wednesday

Phase 2 front bumper/grill off! ;D ;D huray!!

Standard front bumper on.. The only thing missing to make this look like most other mondeos is some duck tape









Sorry for the crap pics, but using a temporary phone, and no matter how still you hold it, they all come out sh1t..

RS skirt, fogs and side skirts collected from Romford today

Hi Davey... I'm Kev who mailed you previously r.e some information! As you can see i got myself the base car i was after

Did you end up changing your bonnet in the end?

[jaysback]

Nice price for such a clean example.
As above, good to see the mk1's getting some love.

[Kev B]

slightly better pics with headlights and indicators back in.... Ghia grill being delivered on Tuesday/wednesday thanks to 4x416v!

[siruncle]

its got the 'i eat small children and animals' look without the grille, looks quite evil

Lol, yea, does look a bit crazy... Ghia grill is being delivered next week. Did want a prima racing grill, but havnt had the chance to find one yet as they are like hens teeth to find..


As far as colour choice is concerned, what are peoples opinions on Ford 'Sea Grey'....?? With black mesh and rear boot panel....?

[jaysback]

If your getting it squirted why not go with ultimate green?

[Kev B]

Good shout!

If i was going RS engine then i may have considered it... but, an interesting choice none the less...

[harby]

Keep it Nouveau red!!

I'm biased by the way, as my current and heavily damaged Mk1 is that colour and as I've just found a 74k 2.0 Ghia X in blue, so will probably and unfortunately be sending my nouveau red to car heaven.

I might have to start my own project thread........

[Kev B]

Sorry bud, red is going.... I had pondered going a bright red, like my old Radient Red mk1. But i think im 85% sure of going grey...

I'v got it all pictured in my head

Whats your opinions on this exhaust?

Too many bends restricting power, want the exhaust as straight as possible.

[Kev B]

Yea, did think it was a little bit on the 'odd shaped' side of things.... Struggling to find a system that falls roughly in budget...

[Racebits]

Would find a decent custom exhaust place and show them the route you want it to take, also be a good time to change the Y-pipe as standard is so restrictive.

In all bet the above be as cheap as the exhaust you was about to buy.

You have a link to a replacement Y pipe per chance?

Yer, was pondering going to a custom place.. We just lack them round here now adays

[Racebits]

Heres a link to a Y-pipe: http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MESELX:IT
