    Budget!! Clubman mk2 escort road/ stage car.

    Carling Gary , be the same tonight I think, we've been trying to get a set of round turrets in today been a bit awkward but it's not far off, pics tomorrow I should think?. Does an internal turret height of 14" 3/4 from the bottom of chassis rail sound ok?.

      Very nice! Keep up the good work!
      What is the reason for the new bulkhead? Mainly stiffening?

          Yes your Measurement there sounds about right from the top of the turret to the bottom of the chassis, mine are approx 15 inches, they are square turrets which I made 2 inches taller to stop the shockers bottoming.

          Which one do you knock your Pot in, the Sheaf or Manners?

                        Class, this is going to be a real nice spec car in no time.

                        I would arch it in time like all the best ones

                            Get it arched Alan and then get the Jack Hammer out on the wall to the Drive. A nice sensible project you are doing, it`s a credit to all of you.

                                Fitted turrets to the squires twins measurements, it became quite a pain trying to keep all height length and width measurements bang on working from the centre line ect







                                In the end we got 14 3/4 inches internal turret height to the chassis rails ?some have higher some less, I can't see me needing to go lower than -1 1/2 on the rear for rough tar , I'm going to start at minus 1" for now.
                                We also didn't lip the wheel tubs ? Just cut it and fully welded it we will fold the turrets over underneath and stitch them later we need a die grinder to get to a few tight bits to Finnish off.
                                Next up the diff tunnel fu*k up !!
