S1 Rebuild(s)
some pics of the rebuild process,
the top trailing arm bracket is broke......
the diff is sloping back a little (looking up) so that will need sorting.......
As you can see there isn't a lot of bracing in an S1 chassis, that will be sorted.

Ally would be nice....but it's likely to be steel.....
I looked at buying a manifold. But I am too tight to pay for one...☺☺

My inlet manifold adaptor plate made from 3mm thick plate.....just need some short tubes about 1 1/2" diameter to make the inlet runners and fit to a plenum. ...hopefully a runner soon.

A little more filing for the ports and it's good enough...

Fitted to the injector plate cut from the old plastic manifold. ...

Trial fitted to the engine....to check for clearance and to work out the angle to cut the inlet runners.

I also have a crossflow manifold....you can see how it matches to the zetec manifold. Have a spare car somewhere as well...it's an option.

Are you intending add short runners and turn that plate into an adaptor so that you can fit the crossflow manifold and carb?
