Right thought i would put a quick post up of my project, not going to put all the pics up 2nite as there is quite a lot of them :) Anyway while im here, will introduce myself. Im dan i live just outside of bath in wiltshire. This is my 4th ford so far :) first was a mk1 xr2, then mk6 1.8 si escort, followed by an immaculate mk5 rs2000 and sold that due to being too nice to drive and bought this car instead. Plans with this car are to Bring it into this age a bit more and make it more driveable so i can use it daily for work. Basicaly plans are 2l zetec, 5 speed type 9, capri front suspension, escort world cup crossmember, 5 link rear end to get rid of the horrid leaf springs. Right onwards with the pics as i picked it up, i picked the car up for £400 locally, has 38k on the clocks with 3 owners i think, was a 1.1 with a 3 speed gearbox before i started. If you want to know anything more then just ask

Final update for the minute as its too cold to go outside :oops:
shell mounts temporarily bolted on for the minute Attachment 108053 https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...e/DSC00302.jpg And axle bolted on Attachment 108054 Attachment 108055 Attachment 108056 Few general shots of it sat on the ground to try and get the height right, also trying different wheels on from my workmates mk1 escort Attachment 108057 Attachment 108058 Attachment 108059 Attachment 108060 I need to make a panhard road up next and then decide if i can use the coilovers i have bought, if not i will put them on the rear of my pug and buy some new ones. Once the rear suspension is all working as it should i will move back to the tunnel and get all that fabricated, i need to get hold of an appropriate starter motor as well. Still a massively long way to go with it yet :cry: Anyway hope ive not bored you all too much, update after xmas i think when i will hopefully take the car into work for a weekend of effort |

have made use of my day off work by going to work haha. Thankfully it was spent doing stuff for my 100e. Have re-done some mounts for the watts link as the ones that came with it were no good really, easier to make new ones then modify them to fit. so heres some pics
