PaulMags Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 Is that all I have plastic head lamp bowls if your stuck for them they come complete with the crome rings.
BaileyMex Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Posted May 14, 2011 Is that all I have plastic head lamp bowls if your stuck for them they come complete with the crome rings. It's a in depth refresh not a concourse rebuild, otherwise the list would quadruple :lol: cheers for the offer but there already on order
livewire7116 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Rear qtr window rubbers never fit properly no matter where you get them from, get a good quality 2nd hand set or spend top money for ones that fit
mk1super Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Colin m8 question! See the orginal clocks you had in your mex what did speedo read to an rev counter to? 130mph 7000rpm?
BaileyMex Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Posted May 16, 2011 Colin m8 question! See the orginal clocks you had in your mex what did speedo read to an rev counter to? 130mph 7000rpm? yes mate, they do
Admin Vista Posted May 16, 2011 Admin Report Posted May 16, 2011 Why do you want to change your clocks Colin? The 140mph ones are pretty pricey and when was the last time you drove at more than 130mph and 7000rpm in your escort?
BaileyMex Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Posted May 16, 2011 Why do you want to change your clocks Colin? The 140mph ones are pretty pricey and when was the last time you drove at more than 130mph and 7000rpm in your escort? I actually bought them around 3 years ago as they were cheap and they are still sitting on the shelf Seems a shame not to put them in even though it rarely goes above 60pmh Plus they are freshly painted and in nicer condition than the 130 dials
Admin Vista Posted May 16, 2011 Admin Report Posted May 16, 2011 Stick them back on the bay mate and they'll fund quite a few of the other goodies you still need.
gearbox100 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Have you sorted some head lining rods ? I might have a set but would have to check .
BaileyMex Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Posted May 16, 2011 Have you sorted some head lining rods ? I might have a set but would have to check . Darren at Escort Tech has put a set aside for me, but thanks anyway, unless their free
fezza Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Its amazing how things add up,i spent out on all the big money bits on the engine and thought i was done bar a few bits and bobs,couldnt believe how much the bits and bobs were once i started to order them up
mk1super Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Any pics of progress m8 still one of my fav mexs
BaileyMex Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Posted May 16, 2011 Any pics of progress m8 still one of my fav mexs There will be mate, once I get a batch I'll upload them in a new post
BaileyMex Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Posted May 18, 2011 Headlining and quarter light rubbers arrived today, Really looking forward to getting the headlining fitted, will make such a difference, Would people recommend sticking some sound deadening on the new roof? if so would the traditional foamy stuff be ok or that dynamat stuff?
Posse Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Have we got any pictures of this project Colin or is this just s dream?
