Drove my escort like I stole it an dropped my consul locks off at locksmith to be rebuilt nice n safe then :-)

An made a template for the consul dash and ordered my new prop :-)

 

Lots to do, so little time :-(

Front: Fitted front struts, callipers and new track rod ends.  Filled gear oil, changed engine oil and filter.  (Had her running for a second with only the exhaust manifold on, bet the neighbours love me)  :upyours:

 

Rear: Fitted new 1" lowering blocks, and polyurethane bush kit.  The only problem I ran into was the new rear shackle bushes were 2mm I.D. too narrow, and I couldn't for the life of me force the bolts through, so I'm running with the old ones for now.

Killed it. Seemingly, after a head rebuild the bottom end decided to reject it after 1000 miles & now there's a ton of blue smoke billowing out the back burning oil like buggery. Bottom end rebuild now......

Fitted Mk1 Escort GAZ rear shocks to my MK2 van - not a straight fit but easily remedied.

 

Took her for a test drive, did some donuts, filled the tank, etc.  Good to have it back on the road. :D
