Default My escort cossie rebuild **UPDATED PICS**

Here's a few pics of my esc cos rebuild, including everything powder coated or renewed and chromed.

Stripped the car and prepared floor and just painted it today, photos do not do the job justice.









16 weeks and counting till deadline for completion, roll on next years shows

yes mate, you are...................wrong

thats the way the old ones came off, and if you put them the other way round they would foul the disk as the edge is bent over
