Sorry mate I had updated the RSOC thread but not this one

Update

Been working on the fes today, took the rest of the body kit off and was fairly pleased compared to what I've seen already. Found a little bit of mud thou :rlmao:




Then moved on to the brakes and fitted the ST150 set up

FRST vs ST150






Fitted up







The ST150 kit was a straight swap, really simple even better I had a mini result.. When I fitted the Comp's I used 195,50 Yoko paradas which are wide!! and they where rubbing the shock so I had to use a 3mm spacer which I wasn't pleased about... but! the ST150 brake discs added a couple of mm offset so now they don't rub and no spacers wahooo

Then the much bigger job was started removing the ABS and fitting a Escort Mk5 Servo

Whats missing...





What a horrible job that was removing the ABS parts ale:

Eventually got them out after cutting my hands umpteen times and pouring brake fluid everywhere



Also it seems like to remove the belt shields you have to remove the drive shafts so thats another pig job to sort to get read of all the abs gear


I have never come across a guide on the mk5 escort servo conversion on any forum in detail so I'm going to add as much info and pics as possible, hope it helps someone

Will update soon
