[Dom]

Good work Clint but you are worse than Yodi when it comes to finishing projects lol whats happened to the yellow Mex and the Anglia?

[RS Yod]

Clint,

Who made that x-member??

What engines going to power it and why is the heater bubble cut out like that??

Just curious

Yodi

[RS Yod]

Good work Clint but you are worse than Yodi when it comes to finishing projects lol whats happened to the yellow Mex and the Anglia?

Just seen this LOL, theres someone worse than me??

[Clint]

Yodi its a rally design one, Cossie Powered of course and the previous owner cut the rot out.

Still have both the Yellow Mex and the Anglia, no given up on either

[RS Yod]

Cool

Good because the yellow Mex was really beginning to look the part I must admit though that I prefer MK1's so stick with this project

When Can You Do Mine

[Lee H]

These pictures do not do justice to the amount of underseal that had to be scraped off.

Just the hours that went in to doing that.......

[Clint]

I should get the wings on this weekend ohh, it will look a little bit like a car once more

[Retromotorsport]

And then it can go on a Trailer, and cross the water?

[Sharon]

Do you mean in the water

[Retromotorsport]

Now now Sharon, surely Clint has told you. Escorts are an Immaculate Conception By God and they can drive on Water, Nay they can even part the seas, chop down mountains with a wave of a hand, (or was that Hendrix) They bring warring sides together, they are what is truely good in this world ov evils...
Hold on did I read the wrong book last night,, they're just the bollox.. arguement over..

[carl_harker]

cool a new woolich ferry Thats good then cause i need me welder back soon got to start modding my katanas frame

[darran]

Very nice mate.
Almost time for linking it.

Just thinking,that auto tunel came out of a mot'ed silver 1600 ghia i drove out of Croydon a few months ago.
If only the old owners new,he'd had it for 20 years!!!!!!

[Clint]

Blimey not any old tunnel then, a Ghia, my oh my.. ho hum

Mk1 1100 Super Ghia

[darran]

We only sell the cream...Ha..Ha

[dangerousdave]

What is it with you darran..come into my ghetto and chop up all my future escorts

R.I.P. green mex

[Clint]

I didnt realise the size difference was so much between a standard tunnel and an Auto one, its not until you see them back to back you see how much bigger it is.

[dazzle]

That's a quite substantial difference

[dangerousdave]

Clint with that auto tunnel...where do the gearbox xmember mounts line up as standard...is it for a 4speed or type 9 5speed? And is there any cutting of the lever hole to fit the 5 speed too if you know....just seems easier for a 5 speed conversion if the mounts and hole line up??

[Clint]

DO you know what dave I havnt a clue I know the hole will need raising and moving probably when I fit the T5 or Tremec.

[darran]

Dave,a 5spd type 9 will bolt straight to a auto tunnel,if you use the auto mount.
But you will have to weld the orignal gearbox lever hole back on the top.

[dangerousdave]

Hmmmm And im guessing the lever hole only has to go on to allow you to fit the standard gaitor?? Of does the lever hole need to be moved anyways cos the auto selector comes out in a different place??

[Clint]

Well at one time it had all its panels fitted today

Thanks to Escort-Tec for finding me a very nice set of early doors, for an excellent price

Thanks to Bodney and Mk1Morley for the wings.

Thanks to Smiffy for the help aligning the wings the car really looked like we had moved on today, I am quietly pleased.
