you wont be able to fit that without a fair amount of shell mods martin, andys set up is a lot longer and wider than the escort WRC item. mine practically sits at the side of the B pillar. also the struts need to be more in board to get the hub width - all do-able of course

end of the month
cooler and rad away to pro alloy for repair
suspension and my spares away to Aurok for overhaul
door moulds away to mike at Performance Trim to see about new carbon ones made rather than the fibron ones X sport made
just depends how that stuff will be turned around.

Impressive progress already, nice to see you cracking on with it, and making a few improvements along the way by the sounds of it
Can upgrades be made to the parts that failed?

problem is that the pinion spline on the rack is a bit small as its only a standard sierra 2wd non power rack and its on a 4x4 with big slicks with a power asissted motor on the colum,, maybe use a 4x4 rack without the oil as it has a better spline or get better quality UJ's as it was the spline on them that stripped not the spline on the shaft.
