    B6T festy build thread

    Thought Id start posting here. Started out as just a clutch/flywheel replacement and respray but its really gotten out of hand. Heres my thread on ff.com. http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17831


    Heres what I did today.

    finished trans tear down









    syncros look good and no big shavings in the bottom



    old fifth


    new


    the other addition



    I might replace and key the bearings while im in there too. Also debating turning 1st and 2nd into dog gears. 2nd is a royal b**** to get into at the track.

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        ^you still have the gt trans you took the diff out of for the v6 swap?

        Took the diff into my dads work and drilled the ring gear off tonight.

                Tried to reassemble the trans tonight but the bolts dont fit in the ring gear.




                The shoulders on the bolts are too wide to fit in the ring gear. :angryfire:


                Also the battery I ordered the begining of december finally showed up.

                  When i swapped my ring gears i did notice a very slight difference in the size of the bolt holes, so maybe the bolts you got were intended for the 28 spline diff

                    Trans is back together. Would have done more but I was on the sofa recovering from last night most of the day.

                          Thanks guys

                          Finished the main wiring. Just have to do the stuff for the MS add ons. Also bolted the trans on.

                            Got the suspension together and set it down.

                            Had to trim the top mounts so I could get the nut on the struts.





                            Its not as low as I hoped it would be but hopefully itll drop another 2 inches when the engine is in.

                              Went over and welded up the crank sensor bracket. The reluctor ring didn't turn out that pretty but hopefully it won't come off.
