The gearbox is in, i'll be there

Tay14 you've got mail

I was running 13x7 revo deep dish with ET -7 and had to roll the arches on a 2" drop, have rasied it back to 1.5" as I was getting sick of grounding the exhaust on every tiny bump, have the wheels for sale if you are interested, they were new in Feb and only done 500 miles, now gone to 15's

that is just insane, i love it, he spent more on a clutch than i pay for a car

wow talk about mint, that is a stunning car

If the gearbox is fitted in time i'll come along. Nick

Here are the pictures so far, fitted the old skool banner today, get the easy jobs done first.

The whole point of a OSF is you get out of going to Ikea, if she suggests going I just get the spanners out and say I won't be long.

You can't go wrong with Webbers but I love the look of bike carbs. Would be tempted to go with bike throttle bodies if the budget can be stretched. Nick

Sounds like a fantastic setup, will you be at Ford Fair, i'd love to come and see how you have done it. Nick

Capri is next on the shopping list

Welcome, how well do the bike carbs work, where did you get them jetted? Nick

If the new gearbox is in I'll be there. Nick

Hi everyone, I'm Nick and after years of reading classic ford took the plunge and bought a Mk2 Escort and I'm loving it.... The plan is a 3 year project with the basics being done this year, interior stripped, diff ratio changes and swapping the auto for a type9, next year it will get a new signal yellow coat and the exterior done, year three will be coilovers, 4 linked you know the stuff. I'm changing the gearbox next week and need a type9 crossmember if anyone has one going spare. Here is the car just before I put new 15" wheels on it. ERROR - Will not let me post pictures yet. Looking forward to meeting you all at Ford Fair, also hoping to go to the Heritage Motor Centre Nick
