andy

 

ill be doing the interior in base coat & laqour not sure what colour yet though & yes it will have some nice new seats in it this year

25012010003.jpg?t=1264462579

i like them a lot what do you think

 

Nice seats,

I had them for the fiesta but were to big in the winged section unfortunately

 

gud job fella,


im sure youll have no probs getting your skinny arse in them


my passenger ride however seems completley out the window now lol ,


beef

 

thats much better andy lol,there i like them a lot

 

do not fear dude, my mate had these seats in his nova, and i used to regularly squeeze my 'husky gentleman' frame into them. it wasnt the most elegant entry or exit, but gravity kind of helps on the way in, and then worry about getting out after your done lol

 

lol you gotta remember who i got them off richie had them for years & it didnt stop him or trevcoss from sitting in them
you just gotta get a run up on them & drop in simples

 

i,ll fit in them

 

wow i like them seats

 

your more than welcome graham when we eventually go to the same show

 

Very nice seats you got Andy

 

ps can i get a ride lol

 

im thinking ill grease the sides,

then you can just launch the car and the rearwards momentum should see me snugly fitted lol


beef

 

yes not a problem dingla

lol if that what it takes lets go for it

 

Excellent progress mate.

Keep meaning to come and have a look.

 

kettles always on or the beer is in the fridge when ever you want to come around

small update ive only got the steel to make the rear hubs & richies diff cradle for his series 1 turbo ,so i cut all the steel to fab up the 4 rear hubs so i can finally finish the rear end

 

mate come on get it done

wot you going to do about the engine bay as thats still in yellow

 

not going to do any thing this year after the last show this year ill be ripping the front body kit off again pulling running gear out going to weld on some wrc style top mounts & hopefully have the water rad relocated into the rear 1/4 panels just to be different like this group 5 escort





im not sure if i should do engine bay red to match the red in the stripes


or do it yellow to match the stripes ????????????????

 

now that is cool were them rads are . and it could be a plan to do the yellow stripe
keep the updates coming mate

 

Just looked at this from the very beginning, great evolution over the years, good luck with the current build!
PS My vote is without the stripes.

 

it will be stripe free this year & then fully stickered up next year ,thanks for the encouragement

 

small update i finally got the rear cradle welded in place i still got to triangulate it into the strut tops but its in wooohoooill put pics up later

 

right then heres the pics






i also raised the diff by 2",s to give me a better drive shaft angle coss its going real low

 

look good mate will you have to beef the floor up to take the stress of the diff and the shafts coming off it

 

yesmate i have to triangulate from the cradle pick ups to the strut towersalso putting a harness bar between the strut tops & eventually it will be tied into with a full roll cage later on .

 

very nice andy only ten weeks to go who will be finished first

 

you probably mate i got loads todo getting there bit by bit though

 

wont to see yours thier and i,ve heard that its shotgun rides now, mint, for those that dont no that its you can now that passingers now how mint is that

 

im hoping to be there mate i got all my fibre glass gear today free of charge so i can start on the kit this week end

 

here you go mate it took me longer to do this sketch than it took to weld in ,I HATE COMPUTERS .

 

sweeet!

 

looking good andy

 

heres what i done tonite
im going to put a uprated poly diff mount on instead of this





i still got one more to do i cocked this one up






i will be welding a v shape diff support bar in for the diff bracket to
