We just don't stand a chance against these film makers destroying our beloved old skool fords, but keep up the good fight gents the world will thank our dedication some day!!!

I thought as much!! That is frustrating but thanks for the help

Hi all, I have a quick question regarding Powerflex Bushes... I have some to fit to new single leafs on my Escort Mk 2, 2 door however there is a large gap in between the two parts of the bush (refer to picture). This is a very basic question but is that supposed to be like that or have I purchased the wrong leafs or bushes? Some advice for the "noob" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Michael

Some awesome work been put in there!! I'll be happy if mine looks half as good as some of the finished products above!

I have been in search of some too for some time but can not seem to find any...

Where a bouts in oz are you mate? Terrific cars you have there mate hope I can get my mine to that standard one day =)

Love the revo's but who could say no to beautiful mini lights on that beauty!!

Mine are just minilights... Had no problem with the centre caps on mine not sure why yours are coming off The only problem that i encountered was that because they had been painted with a thick layer of sealant, when i came to tightening them up, at first they were tight but then when i drove down the road the sealant wore off and i had to add about half a turn on them... Hope you understood that haha... Moral of the story is always check your wheel nuts are tight i was lucky that i noticed the movement early and averted a disaster hahaaa Hope that helps

In my opinion 175/50's on 7 inch rims looks really really nice... hence why i have just fitted these to my car However i previously had 205/60 on 6inch rims which i also liked but given the fact that i am about to lower it i chose to change to the 175/50's below are some pics to show you... the car is not lowered at present This one is of the day the wheels went on A couple of weeks before changing the wheels... not minilites but you understand how the tyres sit Hope this helps Michael

Absolutely Stunning

Im liking the red or the blue mainly but they all look really nice... good luck deciding haha

Cheers mate and once again well done... Yeah i think the porting is a fine art and can be all the difference

Found this... may be useful viewtopic.php?f=65&t=125414

wow thanks heaps for sharing that... makes for an interesting read

Hey mate My understanding is that normal driving with a welded diff tends to make the car understeer dramatically or oversteer crazily there is no happy medium.... hahha As for safety i guess it really depends on how good you are with a welder I have also heard of some people creating a sort of detroit locker by only welding some of the planet gear teeth or something but not sure on that one... Apparently it reduces the understeering but can't say for sure as i have never actually seen it... only heard rumours of it being done hahaha And feel free to correct me if I'm wrong with any of this... its all good for my learning

nice clean car you got there mate.. like the mini too

very nice collection there... looks like a lot of effort there well done Cant wait to see an update on the new Mk 1 project if the others are anything to go by its going to be a stunner Good luck with the welding and lastly... very nice revos on the Mk 2

Look nice mate

I particularly like 12, 13, 22, 35, and the rest are all good and difficult to decide on Its just great to see them all in action... Good luck with your decision... its a hard one

Well done mate thats awesome.... Just curious as to what engine work you done

Stunning car mate... Much respect for the obvious amount of effort put in. Would you be able to provide some more details on the car i.e.. suspension? It sits wonderfully well Cheers Michael

My Mk2 with similar rims... I was running 205/60 Yokohama's... they were a great tyre

Go the mighty Mk 2

I had Dragways that were similar on my mk2... they're quite common on old skool cars in australia... they look good mate glad you were able to source the wheel nuts

Yeah I think this is probably one to do later on when I have a bit more time and money... Haha Looks awesome though
