PRO BEIGE 100E..............

[bazzil]

Here is my 100e I bought awhile back, I was in two minds as to keep it or forward it on because really I was looking for a road going 100e, but after a little tinker was already getting involved more-so then intended.
This is where I'm at Taken front and rear suspension off out of the way She is basically a bare shell now.

Removed all the curse word old u/seal ect from the underbelly, front & rear end, boot wells, inner wings & front panel ect then treated to two coates of tetraseal.

Have been clicking at various stages but still yet to upload from camera, still got to get my head round uploading pics!!!

watch this space..................

That looks pretty solid will be a good project. Can somebody move this to the right area though?

Yeah, looks great - really like 100es

Looks like you've got the hang of uploading pics thats for sure

This should really be in the reader rides section - unless you are making it onto a sofa or garden ornament ;D

Very clean! It's great to see a 100E in progress, I had a stock one many years ago and loved it.

Yes I've settled for a p100 2.0 pinto engine & 5spd box, for now anyways!!!
































Hopeing to get abit of time round the old girl this week.........weather permitting!!!


Thumps up

[bazzil]

AS seen in the last pics the rear 105e axle is on with -2" blocks & decambered springs, I went for the gaz adjustable shocks.
Also you can see the modified escort crossmember with s/rack & a/r bar is now in place along with the legs ect

Been out on the old girl today, filled all unwanted holes in engine bay, built the engine back up.
It is time consuming wire brushing every nut, bolt & washer as I have done throughout the build, I have used nylock nuts whenever poss some new bolts & split washers.

INFACT everything thats going back on is either new, wirebrushed cleaned & painted or polished (alloy ect).

Managed to get some paint around engine bay today......... below










Thought I'd try the old pinto for size........(as you do!)

[festerfly]

very smart.

Makes me miss my old 100E.. It was a 2 door fitted with a 107E bulkhead for clearance.

Did you modify the crossmember? how difficult was it, are there many mods to it as it looks like a nicely fitting unit.

[Deleted]

thats amazing !! that pinto looks factory fit !!

when I was a mechanic years ago we used to have hell stopping those pressed steel covers leaking, most of the time it was due to people overtightening the bolts and twisting the lip, always worth checking its nice and flat and the bolts havent pulled into the lip when you have the chance !!

amazingly clean car too !!!!

love 100e's, and this ones looking real nice.........keep up the updates making think of getting one

[stealthstylz]

I think Pintos are the best choice for 100es as a "build" motor. Once you've made one fit any 4 cylinder engine and most v6/v8s will go in.
