    Well its been a while and i have been slowly chipping away

    Fuel tank platform is ready to be welded in, just need to buy a tank so i can check everything first,
    Made a battery tray, been looking online at various fuel pump and filter arrangements.
    Boot lid is on and fits ok(ish) fitted rear bumper and universal LED number plate light.
    Unpicked, and repaired the rear wiring loom adding a few additional power feeds and earths,
    Rear lights have been rebuilt with new gaskets, screws etc.

    Re: 5tox mk1 escort restoration project

    got myself a set of 8j wheels with a nice deep offset, just need to paint them silver.
    drivers door is almost completed with all new seals etc. made an inner door closer handle and modified the window winder to accommodate my roll cage.
    made up some seatbelt anchors and started fitting those yesterday, im on the look out for some nice black 4 point harnesses but can wait for an ebay bargain to pop up.

    fitted interior light but might need to do something different here if i decide to keep the front half of the roll cage,
    Steering column mounting point on the bulkhead modified to accommodate lowered steering rack.

    Bought some very nice adjustable rose jointed TCA's and built up my front suspension using a twin cam ARB and anti-dive.
    Re-made some front grille brackets so its a better fit.
    Cut and re-welded the front wings so they sit flush with the bonnet.
    Cut and re-welded the bonnet cross brace so it sits flat and modified my strut brace to sits 20mm higher to accommodate my taller 2.3 engine.
    Bought a nice ralloy radiator

    Not seeing any pics.
    I'm afraid it's this Tapatalk thing again I think. I rarely see them when Tapatalk is used.

    I might need to have another go later,
    I just find it a pain using the TS uploader as i have to resize each image in paint before uploading

    not a clue, I'm sure a few years back it was much simpler getting my pics up.

    Any update on your car 5tox?

    I use the Uploader button at the top, seems to be the best option now you have to pay for Photobucket
