spent a bit of time on the car today, it seems that every time ive gone to my unit with the intention of working on the saph, i end up shifting stuff around and organising the hoard of escort and sapphire parts ive amassed! its finally looking sorted up there now, so today i got the dash out. its in really good condition for its age, but then the car is generally.




so clean!




gearbox will be next to be put on a pallet and taken for a rebuild. its a bit crunchy from 5th into 4th, sometimes needing to be slipped into 3rd first. been told its the syncro, we shall see! on the look out for an uprated gearbox if anybody sees or knows of one




engine is now on a pallet and, bar a bit of shrink wrap and carpet for protection, its ready to go the engine expert of my choice!




Thats it for now. next on the list is the loom out, then petrol tank off. ive decided to have the underside stripped back by a company called the dustless blasting co. look them up, their work is amazing! this is why i am now taking the dash and loom etc out. worth it though, and the underside will be mint once finished, i wont be doing all of this twice!
