Tin worm is poking the through paint around the rear of the car, so need to rub it down prime and paint it. Theres not much chance of matching the paint as its not a standard mk1 colour and im on a tight budget (read currently umemployed and skint). So am thinking of just tarting it up to get it through this year and deal with the paint next year. Currently looks like this Black bonnet, tops of the wings and front panel, the rest of the car is silver/champagne. Im thinking of doing something along these lines: but extending the black all the way to the rear (obviously the front end will stay black.) The idea is to cover the rust bits at the back without it looking patchy. The question is... do I: do it black or black with the stripes? say balls to it and spray the whole car black or just patch it for now As said previously Ill be doing it with rattle cans and out in the open so results may vary..... And do I do in matt or gloss colours???

same here.... really need to change the gaskets on the bottom end, so engine out, but as the engine is out then I might as well change the exhaust for 105speed stainless one as it keeps blowing gaskets, also while its out might as well look doing a 5 speed conversion... the list never ends

heres something different . . . 15x7 Performance Wheels

pretty sure ive seen them in halfords, or heres a link to a kit on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/escort-mk1-2-capri-cortina-m16-brake-pad-fitting-kit_W0QQitemZ200309047984QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item200309047984&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Heres a few of mine...

what about a solar panel on the rear parcel shelf to trickle charge the battery? never personally used them, but in theory it should stop the battery going flat.... http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=223251 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=217850

Cheers Mark, can you update mine to the following: 17.sitting_budda --- ---- .- Mk1 Escort-- -- --- FRONT GOLD COILOVERS ADJ + REAR ADJ (early)

Hi Mark, can you update mine to the following: 17.sitting_budda --- ---- .- Mk1 Escort-- -- --- FRONT GOLD COILOVERS ADJ + REAR ADJ (early) Also how do we go about posting the old struts off to GaZ? Do we get a reference number for there attention?? Cheers Iain

Depending on the price ill be interested.... need to get hold some spare struts... is there a reason why the ones with removeable steering arms are preferred?? sitting_budda --- ---- .- Mk1 Escort-- -- --- FRONT COILOVERS ADJ + REARS ADJ (early type - eye to eye)

Are you after a particular brand? or is that you are just after 185/70/13s?? If you are not too fussy on the brand then there are some 185/70s here: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s367p0

put a new 1760xflow + lsd in this year but really havent had the chance to drive it properly. It drives like a completely different car now, need to learn how to drive it all over again

im needing more practice.... spinning it on roundabouts kinda ruins the illusion! Problem is finding somewhere quiet enough with enough room round here

Both are sound investments

I used to have a 234 cam in a 1390xflow on a 28/36dcd and that was sweet as a nut. It was my daily runner for 3 years until the car was retired to just a play thing. This time around I decided to go for a 244 cam in a 1760xflow (yes 85mm pistons!!). I was worried that it would be undrivible but its great and it idles relatively smoothly. If you haven't bought the bcf3 and depending on budget, I would get your pistons pocketed and go for either 234 or a 244, you wont regret it!! Heres some videos for my 1760xflow with a vulcan stage3 head, 244 cam and twin 45s [/img]
