that fez looks the nuts propa short circuit

also it might be worth asking the breakers on here escort tec and gs escorts i bet they have tubs upon tubs of original fittings an fixtures

there is some stunning paint out there too lead foot loved the subtle union jack mags' work is bloody crackin tooo

credit where credits due if people on here havnt seen the ally work im talking about next time your at a osfdc take a look inside the car its not the usual welded or riveted upright firewall found on e bay another very good fabricator on here is retro motorsport his work an ideas are fantastic enough to inspire most people to pick up the welding torch after giving up

my first attempt was pretty poor nearly 6 years later i blew the dust off it an find myself cutting out the first attempts an replacing them for something that looks better

to over head cam its those shite patch work mot jobs form years ago that teach you an give you the trained eye to knock out the beutifull fab work you done on kj's car

we all hunger for something buy it an turns out it dont float your boat done it a few times cossies kit cars an boring fwds an i had more fun in a 1700 mk1 escort if i was in your shoes i would sell that valueable harrier an either build or buy somthing that blows your mind that looks similar to the harrier there must be something the harrier has you like or you woulnt have brought it try to replicate that harrierness in your new venture with good spec running gear an i think you might be on a winner

i had std 2.8 capri sized discs 247mm they were pretty close with 13" compo ml's i just had a look hi spec say there 260mm kits fit 13" rims i suppose it would help if they stated the size of the back of the rim required to fit the 260mm kit give rally design a ring what they have told you isnt correct

blank the holes as it would be the same as the heater being in the off/cold position

rs components sell alot of electrical bits an pieces maybe they could help

buy yourself a propa for workshop manual not a haynes there not as good make a list of what you want to repair say the brakes get the manual out read the brake section understand it an go for it its only nuts an bolts if you cock it up read the book again an fix it as for body work get some metal the same thickness as the car get yourself as halfsharp mig an practice on scrap metal till your confident enough to work on the car we all started from the bottom

paul mags on here does pannels pm him

t9 an t5 output shaft sizes are the same but the t5 box is longer so a rs2000 prop is way tooo long the atlas and the big english flange sizes are also the same

thats the one i have been moved house for about two years now an it was on ebay before then the only reason i remember it is beacuse i wanted to build mine to a similar spec an it popped up on bay

there standard on wide rocker cover pintos like the injection one in the picture there is also two rectangle ones either side of the cam pully

great pics just how a escort shoul be driven

a tad dear every one must have seen that blue mk1 bubble arch cossie turbo for 19k thats been for sale for yonks for 50k this has no chance ive seen nice spec n/a cossied mk1 an 2's for less than half that price nice stunning car but not 50k worth

you can get 7's on but will need to run 50 proflie tyres

if its a ap i think they re line there own

as above your best option is to free the brakes off as best as possible or back the trailer right upto the door an winch it up

cossie is three spoke

feel the back lash never had no probs myself with diffs an never use any special tools if it feels wrong or is noisey remove it stick some engineers blue on the teeth an have a look at the contact if your unsure get someone to do it for you from our sponsors

i brought mine from a rally parts supplyer in classic ford mag i think they were from rally and competion equipment give them a ring the squires brothers rally an own a ex ford mk1 so should know what your after

stupid some things just make no sence its the same pasty hot or cold
