ok, update time... just a small rather dull one but still.

i started work again this week... started off by making up a steering column bractet to mount the escort rack to the original fiesta mounting point.

to me it looks a bit ropey so i'll probably re-do it, althoiugh it wont be in sight so i might not bother. anyway - pics:







after this i decided it was time to bit the bullet and hack out the original engine mounts that had been welded to the chassis legs, took ages with various sizes of grinding disc, a club hammer and a metal drift but eventually both sides were out:







I then offered up one of the new chassis mounts - just for the impression:



Next i welded the mounts together and attached the base plates up to a dummy block, which i will use for test fitting:







Then onto todays job, which was to flat down the interior, apply a couple of coats of primer and then mask up all the seams and apply the seam sealer - it was a dull job but it looks quite neat so happy days

that's all for now, i'll attack it again tomorrow - next job is to put the back end of the roll cage in then weld up the drivers seat mount. then it's onto positioning the engine and gearbox and making up a new gearbox mount.

For now though it's off to the pub for the football
