Ok... I'll get to the clutch change in a minute.
Thought it about time I start a bit of a log of the progress on my 3dr Cossie. Owned her for about 18 months now. Bit of history with it apparently. Story goes it belonged to the Australian touring car driver Tony Longhurst. It was his road car when he wasnt racing RS500's back in the late 80's.
Anywho, here's my ownership in pictures... enjoy

The day she came home







Just so happened I had a mates Escort Cossie at my place. Was toying around with a few things for him.





Basic stage 3 that needed a lot of TLC



Its didnt last long in that form. Mods and parts here in Oz just dont really exist. Everything has to come from the UK. Started with the Pro-Alloy FMIC and alloy radiator. ABSOLUTE QUALITY!! Dont regret the time and money inversted to get these here at all!





Just love these pics! Look at that Quality!!





Wheels and suspension were next. Coilover AVO's went in and I couldn't go past Compomotive MO's 18x8's all round. Early inspiration from the likes of John (Lamb Chops) and Ronnie (RONNIE AMIS) with big white Comps was just too much for me to resist!! Thanks guys! Just love that race look.











Few other little things. Apex-i AVC-R, front and rear strut braces and FINALLY finished the custom mirrors I was after. I ended up buying jap spec mirrors for a GTR Skyline and making the baseplates to suit. A lot easier and cheaper than the original fibreglass ones I was hoping to make. Came up nice.











Next up were interior items. Short shifter with new Sparco alloy knob, Sparco suede wheel and loverly new Sparco Corsa seats. I ended up making 4 different sets of mounts for them before I was happy with them!! Seating position and feel is everything. I made up little Ford Sparco decals just to finish off!
Not the best photos, dark inside with the flash.








This was one of those things that just went too far!! I bought new lic plates and wanted a real smooth finish on the back of the car. I made replica decals to apply directly to the paintwork. I took the metal plate off to find the ugly factory mounting "lugs". They had to go! Ended up panel beating, welding and respraying the whole panel nice and flat. All just to get the bloody lic plate looking right!! I will get some pics up with the new plates on. FMC RS
