Have been picking up parts for a while now.
4x4 cossie, T5 box, 2wd sump and pickup/pump, 7" X pack rs alloys, bilstein struts, ap calipers etc.
The back axle is my worry as i want to keep the car looking standard, no big wing arches.
So the options as you say are atlas and 5 link or english with lsd and tramp bars.
The thing is will i be gutted after finishing it that i did not go down the arches and 15" wide alloy route with big money atlas instead of the standard look with maybe the narrow atlas or english on leaf springs.
Decisions, what to do.
hello mate again... the way you are saying it is the way i like it
? for me keeping the car looking stock, is the best thing! to me putting big arches on is a give away! but its your choice????????? but here is the real thing... i to was thinking of putting big arches on my mk2, but after building a mk1 escort with a stage3 set up and rolling on 7x13 superlites and 175/50/13 tyre's????????????? IT WAS FUN
.... power slideing all over realy quick, pin back in your seat! its just a different car with ton's of power! now if you arch it and put on big wheels and tyres then you will get the power down to the wheel with little fun (depends on power)
.... but thats how i see it... every one has there own choice and how there want to drive the car!!!!! what you realy need to do is drive a mk1/2 escort with a cossie lump in to see wot you want? or ask other's on the site who have arche the cars, and see how there drive
... let me know how you get on...
