great work !!! (all of you guys here blow my mind with your projects)...many a night I would sit in the garage and look at the 99 and 9000 and dream about a project like this and then realize it would sit around torn apart for years until the better little voice (wife) throws the reality brick at me.

[schwartz]

The engine will be a B204L with removed balancer-chain.

Progress...


5x112 conversion

[Jordan]

Ha, you went to all that trouble to mount the ford rear end to get the same bolt pattern, but ended up changing bolt patterns What is 5 x 112 conversion from? What is involved?

Haha, yes The conversion consists of redrilled front hubs (88-) and discs, the rear hubs are from a MK1 Scorpio with redrilled discs to keep the vented ones.

Needed 5x112 to be able to use all my 5-lug wheels...

[schwartz]

Its alive!


Rear suspension is getting there.

Keep on going

An overview of the engine bay right now. The B204 fits pretty snug =)


Turbo side, almost done.


Intake side, mostly cables.


2.5" stainless exhaust which is pretty loud. Think I need to add another silencer.

[Geoff]

This thing is awesome! I can't wait to see the first drift video.

[RadioFlyer]

Incredible.

[schwartz]

Test run done @ 7 psi of boost. Not a lot of power but still pretty fun and most of all, very different =)


Trunk setup, a simple fuel system and the battery.
