Re: Budget!! Clubman mk2 escort road/ stage car.

I wondered when i would see this car again, If you remember I went to view it then spoke to you about it when it was for sale. That was via Rallye sport forum. I kind of wished i had bought it after you had too. Its looking well with the things you have done so far keep up the good work. I found a car and bought it last June, Just about finished the work i undertook over the winter.

Seems a lot bigger than before, we left a 10mm return lip to fold over and stitch from underneath later. Just stitched in from inside for now.


Also found some more tin worm !!



That's all for now next up 4 link boxes.

Now for the 1st of the jobs we were really worried about, 5 link boxes we did about 2 hours fretting over and rechecking measurements before finally gathering courage to start cutting.


Squires clubman 5 link kit



Tack fronts in and re/re measure yet again 780mm and 390mm taxing the brain very hard by the end of the day.










I'll be glad when all the bolting on can start make some space.
That's all for now 3 piece bulkhead and finish off underneath next time.

I have fitted a three piece bulkhead but forgot to take the dimensions of the heater matrix holes!!!

If you had any from the centre line it would be a great help!!

Re: Budget!! Clubman mk2 escort road/ stage car.

I was going to do it from the inside and drill out after?. I'll try and get them.
