Looking nice.
Engine set well back so balance should be reasonable.
Once completed, what are your plans - show, or rallying?
Al.

Any updates on this?
loads of updates, to be honest too many to post all at once im sorry i haven't been on the forum for ages its just i have no time for the hobby at the mo which makes me sad in a way. i will post some of the most up to date photos and it has changed dramatically.
spent all of my money on her and am nearing completion just have a interior to do.
If you want to see the whole build i have it on a website that shows all of my pictures with descriptions of what ive done going back to the very start of the project.

Thanks guys i cant wait either but it all takes time and money which i can be a bit short of some days, also another couple of updates; ordered some nice black seat belts for her as the original ones were fraying at the bottom which aint healthy and will be getting the RS2000 rims i have refurbished. minilites will be fitted in the future but i just can not afford them now ha ha

Haven't done any updates in a long time mainly as ive just been taking the car to bits and stripping the bay ready for some more paint but i have a couple things planned. After reading the Octobers edition of classic ford on page 28 was a mint mk2 harrier and Christmas is coming so ive got my self some fiberglass 1/4 bumpers and full width fiberglass rear bumper read for a quad spot setup on the front, getting some good cibie oscar look alikes so that should snaz the fron up a bit. Also thinking about an ashely exhaust system to go in as well. Have a pic of the harrier and also some surplus wiring attached under the dash ha ha.

love rallying, went to the WRC final last year in Wales and it was amazing but so many people there.

Yep that glue is very toxic, mainly why coach trimmers are happy????!
lol do you suggest I ware any type of protection?
-
Best get thread sorted then lol
You still have time as ive got to make some stronger mounts for the seats so dont rush, ill give you a ring or something when I need you expertise. Also that glue seems pretty toxic lol with the amount of warning info all over it ha ha

are those plates for show`s only as your supposed to have the company who made them names on them for road use well it used tobe that way i guess it could have changed again
well they are show plates as I had them made up by a man in a van at Santa Pod, and you are right they are meant to have the company who made them but you cant really even tell as the surround covers up most of the area that they would be any way, soooooo hopefully I wont get pulled over for them....

just a little update as ive been out all day and just only spent 10mins doing this but a while back I purchased a nifty little non-slip tray for putting things in like spare change, so I got out the 5mm riv-nuts and fitted it up, I think it turned out alright and should look ok when the carpet is in

Yeh thread same as body colour I've just got to find it ha!
ok ill update you when i get a quote, im going for 4m by 1.5m of the 6000-6001 range in black

Will do on the thread any particular shade? Looking good by the way, you can eat your dinner of that floor pan!
Same shade as the car i think, whats your opinion seeing you've been doing interiors more than me?

Why a copy rear light over an OEM part? Surely the copy cheapens the originality of the excellent donor car?
the part is an exact replica so you can only tell if it is a copy if you take the light off and look at the back.

had those mirrors on a mx5, couldnt see poop out of em
for a mk2 escort a more classic bullet style mirror would of been apt
was thinking about the silver bullet style but they have limited vision as well, these new mirrors are convex so its not that bad. Only got them because rally car ha ha

Thought ill give you some updates, not much has happen on the car as ive been occupied with other things but I did finally get rid of all of that underseal in the boot and have gave half of it a new lick of paint Also some one I know is coming to have a look and see what he can do with the paint work where it has gone off with the rust underneath, areas are both rear pillars, right rear wheel arch lip, bottoms of both front doors and quarter panels and below the rear bumper. Hope I can do the prep work to save some cash but he will have to do the painting.Also got some nice rally mirrors as well, Ive ditched the old brown vinyl center console along with the two right hand stalks on the steering column for a sexy new gp4 rally escort center console and lots of switches to go with it.
