Still paused sorry. Minor surgery slowed me down a bit. Terry still not done, and now that it's hot I go even slower again.
But before that I ended up buying 2 x 3 Door Zetec wrecks for parts for a couple hundred each rather than just the one - both are re-registerable shells and confirmed as not being written off. One turned out to be so good I'm just cleaning it up for resale (unless one of my kids decides they want it). The other is a bit worse, but will be used to receive the parts from my XR4 wreck 'lab' chassis once I've finished experimenting. I've just been cleaning the resale one (will be practicing some Paintless Dent Repair and windscreen removal skills shortly) and stripping down the other the last few weekends. Both the XR4 wreck and the new target chassis have some bits damaged or missing - but luck would have it that between the two of them I have almost everything I need. I watched the latest episode of Project Binky this week (Ep 27) and I note they shortened their existing Shifter Cables. It was all a bit quick and didn't cover everything, but it gave me gumption to think I could shorten mine instead of getting custom one's made up. AT the moment, I've had a bit of a rethink on using the Focus shifter in the Fiesta - it is just too tall and causes too many compromises in the centre console. So I am currently investigating just using the Fiesta shifter with the Focus box - all the levers go the right way at the right time and have similar reach so it looks feasible. The only question remains is whether I can make customer shifter cables work..... Lukeyson

What does your centre console look like? If it looks like any normal factory fiesta on the inside, any chance you could pop off the cover over the shifter and take pics of how the cables are connected? Luke

Originally the top cover ( coin tray part ) fowls on the top shifter linkage, what the previous owner did was cut a piece out so the cover would fit ( looked crap ) so i cut up a piece plastic and glued it in ( could be plastic welded but i didnt have that option at the time) I makes the tray area shallower but its useable and looks better.
Cant take a pic of it in situ atm as rebuilding the car . |
