Done some work today

Thought l would strip out the old small turbo ecu loom, oh my god think this is a littlr passed my skill set

This is how l left it after l gave up





Have also decided after seeing Dangerous Escos want my loom that goes over the plastic bulkhead behind now so you cant see any wires, will contact Martin over that l think.

Have now taken out all the trim and dashboard, have started striping out the small turbo ecu loom, what a job

Engine is just about to be started by mark, having the MIS converted back to 8 injectors

Already for x-sport to fit cage and purchase new seats then back to mine to see if l can replace the loom to inside the car, Martin has done this before and it looks very neat


Cheers

Got a bit of an update on mine dave. https://passionford.com/forum/ford-escort-rs-cosworth/210172-a-lo-s-r-e-d-motorsport-shell.html
Still got a long way to go, but she's getting there.

looks good, this car certainly decerves a good cage.

jay: how do you guys weld on top of the cage when it's not boxed? i.ex. how is the bar going over the driver/co-driver and down the a-pillar welded to the main bar besides the b-pillars?

Looks good from what you can see from very dark pictures

Jay - If you are going to be the rep for these cages and post pics on here for all to see, please get a decent camera

I know custom cages cut a hole in the floor to lower the cage so they can weld it, Then weld plates over the holes.

I'm now beginning to think it is the user rather than the camera .

Go and have a ciggy so you can stop your hands from shaking, or is it because you're getting so excited with mens bottoms (as I notice that was the most out of focus ) .
