Well I'm from Central AR for all you stalkers out there. I've been working on a project for about 5 months on and off now. It's not a Colt/Mirage but I'm always looking for one.
My project is to put a B6T into a Ford Festiva. So far it's coming along VERY slowly. The only hangups I have are wiring issues that probably could be solved if I worked on it for more than 2 hrs at a time.
So far I've got the engine and tranny mounted and it'll turn over but there isn't spark or injection of fuel though I am getting fuel to the injectors. I'm sure it's a ground somewhere but since I've had to splice the B6T's wiring in, it could be anything. Here are some pics that are about 3 months old.
Engine and tranny waiting to be put in.
Boom engine and tranny are in side straddle.
Front tranny mount before everything got straightened out.
Saving the wiring for another day.
I don't have pictures of my radiator or SRT-4 intercooler mounted but they're there now.
During this swap I've had to pick pieces of information off of 3 different websites with 3 different builds, none of which are using the transmission native to the B6T, so it's been a headache and enough to appreciate a good helpful website like this. Fordfestiva.com is a friendly website don't get me wrong, but this one is more of a modification website as opposed to a BST/repair website.
Anyways hope to join the "Colt family" soon even if I have to buy someone else's project.
