well has been ages since i updated this so heres a quick one. will just throw pics up as there are a few



And something i picked up from my workmate this will be giving me some fun on roundabouts





Some wheels i may use, not sure yet. they did not cost me much money anyway







An interior i won quite cheap on ebay, recovered about a year ago and stored since. Also came with anew carpet and door cards

mk1racer

I have decided i dont like the 4 link boxes so am making some new ones and lifting them into the shell a bit more, So here are some pics of the cutting and new boxes









New mounts for the shocks to go on the axle and also the new 4 link box plates

mk1racer

And finally for now the new boxes just held in place, They still need a little bit more fettling but are looking good so im happy

Rod-Tarry

Blimey the memories.

My 100e was less than 5years old & still modern , 1172cc side valve, when I owned it.
Love the conversions to these classic shaped cars, looks as if it will be a well Specced car, I wish you all the best with it
Cheers Rod

Tom_Cortina

Looks Good shud be a beauty when its finished

mk1racer

Thanks for the nice comments as fudge said i am a fabricator for a living which definately helps. I am hoping to trailer it into the workshop at work in the enxt couple of weeks to do all the welding on the rear and also try and get the tunnel/bulkhead all finished in one hit. Will then be back onto the front suspension again to finalise the spec of that

Cheers Dan

top work mate. keep it up! it makes me wanna get my mk2 escort built now!

mk1racer

well my boss went to new york for xmas on friday so that ment the anglia came into work



Strut tops done



Towers tacked in place





I then added some bracing between the two to keep them in their place, also helps take some strain off the arches





Strut in place



And back down on the floor, finally with working suspension. I ended up welding all the 4 link boxes, strut towers and some other bits id cut out





Hopefully this week i will get the bulkhead/tunnel nailed as well

Thanks for looking

Any ideas on colour schemes yet?
Not overly keen on the modern wheels either, needs to stay retro imo
Work quality is stunning though. Keep going!

escort1989uk

loving the update like the old style wheels but maybe get them powdercoated in a contrasting colour

mk1racer

I have got some ideas about colour, possibly a blue as my girlfriend has approved that the wheels i think will be staying but will be powdercoated a dark colour

Well the last couple of days ive put a few hours in on the car, have made some fairly good progress. I hate making bulkheads, they just are a headfuck trying to get thigns in the right places. Anyway here are some pics





















Thanks for looking

Bit of an update, have been working on the car a bit after work this week so have made a start on the braking side of things, also finished off mounting the handbrake and a couple more little bits. So heres some pics















I have raided the caterham parts bin at work and liberated the master cylinder, windscreen wiper and a selection of pedal blanks to start on my pedal box







Thats it for now, more once ive done a bit on the pedalbox

Cheers Dan
