    Re: My Mk 5 Facelift Escort

    I know m8 but I think I am going to loose the use of BSW's workshops as they are moving to smaller premises next month and I really do have enough on my plate, I am getting less and less time for the car, but on the flip side I have invested so much in it I would be silly selling it,,, but I have to be realistic there is no room at the inn

    Re: My Mk 5 Facelift Escort

    Sorry guys I am keeping the car now, I was only selling it as I thought we would loose space for it when BSW moved.

    I posted the pic of the wheel to how Mike 335mm disks and AP calipers behind a 16 inch wheel.

    Oh, thats a good excuse

    I was just glad that I wasn't the only person who put tyres on the wrong way round. I did it once on my Nova, and then drove home in the wet, f-ing horrid! Juddered all the way and had no traction.

    Yuck!

    Sapphy. I can confirm what Clint said about the wheel as being true. We were chatting about it last night on the phone as Clint is going to put a 'big brake' setup together for me for my 3dr
