Thanks for the lift. Im gona have to buy you apub at this rait,
Very nice mate.........But use your a Mex Anti-roll bar on the front and bring the wheels forward.....
No need to mate got adjustable compression strut kit.
Do you think there to far back then???
Only a little bit mate..If you look at Mex arches your wheels aren,t in the centre (mine wasn,t til I fitted the proper anti-roll bar)...The Mex roll bar brings the wheels forward to the centre of the arch...Oh and it makes alot of differance in the handling...............

Hello to the few peeps that are still watching.
Im back from my holidays now so work on the car will start up soon (tuesday now). will try to get it up to date tomorrow

MY MK1 ESCORT (Now turbo'd)
Time to bring you all bang up to date ready for when I get started again next week
1.Took the carbs off for a good clean up
2.Just a pic of the head work still clean
3.new altonator as I was running on a mk2 item b4.
4.Finnish making the new windows
5.Started making new center consol
6.Rear lights and refective number plate (stickers)
cool as fook trig,looks mean from the rear as well buddy.you gonna tuck the exhaust up higher in the valance cut out as well?
If I got any money left at the end mate was thinking of having one made up with the rear box in the middle.
dont know about the tail pipe could just stick with the 2 1/4 pipe withe outword rolled lip or go for twin pipes maybe
Fooking ashly system fit like shit even after moding it.

Looking good mate,what alternator is that? If its a Zetec one i would be careful with it,i had one on mine when i first done the cossie conversion and it overcharged the system and damaged some components in the ecu
I think there are two types of alterator on the zetec,one with a resistor built in and one without i think,not 100% sure though
cool as fcuk at the back trig
Thanks for the tip kev ill cheak it out when I get back to work.Looking good mate,what alternator is that? If its a Zetec one i would be careful with it,i had one on mine when i first done the cossie conversion and it overcharged the system and damaged some components in the ecu

Trig ain't got PC access at the moment so he sent me these few to post up for him.
I spoke to him today & almost there now. Glass is in & a lot of the bits are bolted back on/in.
The brakes have to be bleed, indicators/lights need some wiring/conecting, seats/harnesses to go in & a few other bits & pieces. The car won't be finished exactly how he wants it but it's always better that some jobs are on-going
The plan is to get it MOT'd next week as it runs out & hopefully it should be at Combe next Saturday pray:
