Fisher Fury, impuse buy!
Discussion
Oops I couldn't help myself! Ended up spending the afternoon in it.
First off the I did the rear wheel studs as they were two short. Still need to do the fronts but there not rush now
There is about 10/12mm of engagement but, I'm not a fan of it being just enough.
Started pissing it down, and I had a good stock of beers in the fridge so just starting rolling on the build!
Started pulling the loom out so I could get the manifold off, as I wanted to dry fit the itbs see what I'm dealing with.
Hoses everywhere! Can't wait to loose this lot.
my sidekick came bye to check on progress. That or it was raining
Looks good and actually could probably make them work like that. Although I'd like to see if my buddy cam put some angle into the manifold as it will make everything sit nicer. And allow me to run a full filter with rampipes.
Although I think the right rampipes might clear or would with a minor massage. And could just run the gauzes caps.
I need to think about the itbs some more. So switched to the coolant pipe rooting I hated the old set-up over the exhaust manifold it was messy and just plain odd. As you can see this is much better and makes more sense to run it along the chassis rail past the suspension.
So I've ordered a load of bits to make this happen.
I can't believe how much wiring is left in the car. It's essentially lights, gauges and fuel pump left and the still and in believe amount of Snakes behind the dash.
Those valve covers though!!! Absolute win. They make the bay even at this stage

I'm so glad that you kept this lump and the ITB are just the icing on the cake. It just looks right. 
I like that it's a bit of a left field choice too.
I meant to ask what suspension it's running? I remember reading that the Fury are actually a nice handling car with performance to match their good looks.

It's got adjustable spax on it. They seem ok, but there is very very little droop. So definitely think there's room for improvement it's quite stiffly sprung as well. But I guess that goes with the territory. I like that it's a bit of a left field choice too. I meant to ask what suspension it's running?

I think it could be a fair bit softer with more droop/sag.
Little bit of progress tonight. Just been abit busy this week and waiting on a few more parts.
Need the rest of the hoses to come but got the radiator hoes in much neater.
Fitted a little catch can
Looks buried but it's easily accessible.
I've started brainstorming the fuel setup. It's abit messy but works. It used to have the regulator on the back of the cam cover. But the new one won't set there and it's abit untidy. So I'm thinking here as then the fuel rail will feed straight onto it. And then the return line can do back to the swirl pot under the column
I'm also going to make a cut out for the tank fees and return in the sill as they just loop in the bay at the moment and are abit vulnerable. Think I'm going to put the filter either into the sill or just further over the chassis. More.
Just need to make sure it's easy to get the sill off encase I need access to the throttle cable. Be a pain if I have to undo fuel lines.
.
I need to get the inlet side cam bucket off to my buddy. But need to spend some time working out the timing marks. And I also need to fit the trigger wheel so I kind of need everything together initially. But hopefully I can do that tomorrow. So I can get him started on those. As then it should be quite a quick process to start putting stuff together. Also need to see if he can kink this manifold just to give some more clearance.

What a great car!
Back to livery, how about Totip, used by The Jolly Club on a variety of Lancia's including Delta's, 037's etc.
I think the stripes along the top of the wings and doors would really accentuate the lines of your Fury (and having looked at your website/instagram, you are definitely the man for the job!)

Totip was on the list to be fair. Definitely not been ruled out. And it is pretty recognizable Back to livery, how about Totip, used by The Jolly Club on a variety of Lancia's including Delta's, 037's etc.

Furys are /small/ cars - complex 'noisy' graphics are not going to work well. Thing with simple colurs, and bold lines, that can be made to accentuate its simple-but-elegant body line, will.
Nice problem to have!
head over to the 208 thread for last weekends antics in anglesey pleanty of track content and videos! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
anyway enough of the baguette, ive gor a few bits done this weekend. im pusing to ge this running befor christmas, maybe just maybe do a trackday over the holidays in it. the 208 has heathing tho
took me ay longer than i though but got the crank pulley, faced and the triger wheel welded on. qute happy with that as it runs true in the lathe. just need to space the new sensor off the 0.5mm of the wheel.

im glad i took my time as that a pretty critical part and im really happy with how its turned out. looks reasonable neat to. just needs some black paint.
farther inlaws birthday so made some meat swiss rolls for the BBQ as you do
Dogo's been very poorly this weekend, so h had to stay up with him last night and kipped on the sofa so i could let him out. i wont share the results but heres a sad looking dogo yesterday afternoon.
so i was alittle bit slow to start today. and alittle fluffy. so i started off easy and got the water pump off the new one is diffrent but will work, but i need some longer m8x 1.0 bolts so that stopped me procrastonating on the valve strings
when i got the cam buckets of last week, o was very supprised to find double valve springs already intalled. however ive no clue if there factory or what they are nothing in the folders about them.
left had is the new piper one, and the taller right hand is what came out the piper ones are noticably harder to compress and the inner spring is much more substantial.
got all 8 fitted my back is killing me now though having to bend down to the car and lean over the sill while holding the springs commpress and getting the keepers in. no idea why i didnt just jack the car up
in other news the head has been ported. its alittle rough but the photos are making it look rougher. its probably a 120/240 grit finnish.
ive dropped the manifold and buckets off with my buddy to modifiy them. so once i ge those back will be cooking. althoth theres plenty of smaller jobs to get on with.

Sorted the garage out last night as had got abit out of hand
Also shortened the dipstick while the welder was out! Save any future owners from my fate.
doesn't look like a lot laied out like this just need the cam buckets and manifold back. Think I'll start the look tonight as I know where 90% of it is going.

Got a a fair bit done between kitesurfing this weekend. Got a good chunk of the loom built, got the modified manifold and cambox back from my buddy. And got the cams and timing belt back on.
I realized the cam end gaskets I have are wrong and also the covers plate I bought won't work as there's an extra oil port on my engine
so I'm going to have to use. The dizzy cap base with a freeze plug to blank it off. Also now I'm pretty confident I can get a Px600 filter jammed in there I've ordered that and some velocity stacks.
List is getting shorter
Could do with abit of port matching. But I can get my grinder in there with enough access to do it properly. So it will have to do for this stage. If I do eventually go for high comp pistons. I will have the head off so it can be matched perfectly.
Need to chase guy up for the ecu and map. But really not far off this. Need to finish off the wiring and fuel system. Fitted the inlet and itbs permanently. And get those cam end covers fitted. If and the throttle linkage. It should be good to go.

Really enjoyed the thread, just had a read after following your 208 BPS updates.
What kind of ignition does this run? Rotor cap and dizzy, or can it be updated to solid state?
Thanks, planning to use a ford coil pack to run wasted spark. Via the omex 600. Have use this ignition system on the last 3 builds and it's worked really well. And been really easily controlled. I'm hopeful that going from the dizzy to electric ignition will gain some bhp or at least allow it to be really drivable as we can have the correct advance for any given load and rpm.
