[JC600]

All painted up, ready for the wheel to go back on. Inner arch is getting stone chipped.

[JC600]

I know it's a bit dark lol......but that's all underneath upto the fuel tank undersealed.

[JC600]

Got nearly all the rear suspension done today, just one tie bar to do then get it all painted.

[JC600]

Got the last part poly bushed, painted the rest of the suspension and brake parts, and undersealed the rest of the car underneath.

[JC600]

Got my gearbox resting on the anti roll bar sorted out.......my mate figured out that my OE roll bar is a slightly different shape due to it having a 4 speed from the factory. So off with the 22mm front arb and on with a 24mm xr3i 5 speed arb. Job done, upgraded and plenty of clearance.

[JC600]

Repro tax disc arrived today.

[Rambo]

getting there now buddy

[JC600]

Yeah mate, just quite a few little jobs to do......and some hard to find parts to source. Get it painted, put back together, then test & tax.

Probs be after Christmas that it will be back on the road.

I've seen loads for mk4 Escorts, got a lot of my parts from Facebook pages.

Have you got a s2 Rs?

[JC600]

These arrived the other day, there graphite grey.



And don't think I ever put a pic of this one in the thread. As my car is an 1982, it would of had one of these.

No it's the RS I've always loved but never got round to buying yet. It's to hard to find a original one in decent condition

Yeah, that's the hard thing......my brother had a really nice s2 rst, long gone now though.

[JC600]

Put the carpet, seats and door trims back in, when I got home from work. As the interior will be masked off, and it's taking up alot of room in the garage. Least now I can tidy up, and find all my lost tools lol

[JC600]

Been really busy lately, so not had a chance to work on the Escort. Have been collecting a few parts though.

Throttle cable bracket, has taken months to find this.



Also got the bolt to hold a the spare alloy in place.
