I'm crap at updating this.

Got the seat in eventually, it was pointed out to me that keeping the sliding mechanism, and having a harness that FIXES to the car, won't work. Thick moment Haven't got any pictures of the subframe but it's a bit heavy duty, would like to make a lighter set up at some point.

Painted the fanblades satin black and got the coilovers fitted, not too low but I didn't want to ruin the handling.




So much fun to chuck around, I'm thinking of dropping the tyre profile down to a 45 though.
Everyone said the AP coilovers were harsh but I have absolutely no complaints, might be due to the tyre sizing? 195/50/15.

So today I set about welding in a rear strut brace to stiffen the back up, decided to get the heat gun out while I was at it and took some sound deadening out, but one thing leads to another and ended up taking all of it out the back! Just need to clean up the tar shit now.







Also in the above picture you can see the brackets I pressed up for the harness to mount to, but after the negative comments I've seen recently about having your harness at this sort of angle, I think I'm going to make something to mount them onto the rear brace.

That's it for the time being, I've got a rebuilt 2.0 Zetec sat in the garage that dad said about putting it into the Escort so that might be the next job!
