update!..... so i am new to this forum so ill introduce myself......my name is zack , born and raised in kingston jamaica .....at age 28 ,classic fords have been my love since i was 15 when i got my first escort . since then i have been eat,sleep n drinking fords........i currently own a mk1 2 door 1300gt escort and this little gem! (my dream 105e) and i also buy and sell / build escorts ..............i cut the tunnel out of one of my scrap escort and used a bit of the 105e tunnel and got this puppy #smiles ....and oh yes. my christmas present to myself was a multiprocess welder (not a miller or lincoln but a omnipro220)...check them out . its getting the work done and its half the price. (still learning but i know a thing or two)
its a shame to say my shop floors are red dirt and a bit of grass but sometimes you just have to work with what you have .....hopefully i own my dream shop soon . #angella #backyardbuild #theneighbours #hateme #banging
shaping my tunnel (handcrafted tunnel with little tools )
lots of hammering and oh yes i used a peugeot 405 bonnet skin to cover up that bell housing lol =)

just about finish mocking things up ......got the tunnel in place and altered the escort steering column .(clutch altering left)
i have a set of escort pedals that i can use but i am adamant at using the 105e pedals to run a clutch cable .....had to modify the clutch pedal to clear the column ......i dont want to chop gella up anymore =( lol
just a tad bit of rustcure till im ready to finish welding

i used a 2.0 pinto block to mock things up in the pics but this is my ready engine (1600) i got out of a capri ......willl be running mikuni 40mm dual carbs when finished
Make do with what you got! Read an article about a guy in England, raced this anglia and his front wing was made up partly from an old washing machine
lol interesting ......im use to working with the little i have langlia but by no means would i go to the extent of using washing machine metal lol.....i only used the bonnet skin as tunnel patch because i was impatient and got sick of seeing a gaping hole hence the metal is treated oppose to what my hardware store had in stock
stick at it and keep the updates coming
cheers mate and thanks........and yes i have been under the auto-dark helmet alot these days lol
