I have a spare in the boot so if your car is still there if I go across we can try one on.

 

Sounds like a plan fella, think it will be there its not been started yet, must be something about the pug/progress! and there is a little more work than first planned

 

Im not sure what kind of map it is mate i got my x5 done the other week there its mint now

 

So glad this car has found a good new home, it's a really nice 1

 

I have managed to sort out a replacement fusebox , so hopefully that should be with me next week depending on the weather . I have also been given a standard exhaust cam FOC from one of the guys on the escort site so that along with the new engine loom will get fitted in the newyear.

Im thinking of maybe changing the twin headlights back to standard after seeing a pic of how the car use to look

 

Think it looks better with the quads, standard lights work best on light colours like aurulis or white imo!

 

standard headlights all the way, awesome car mate, if you ever thinking of parting with the comps - would be very interested!

 

Have you got an escort now BAM ?

 

Well more parts are arriving so will be some updates and changes over the next month hopefully.

New parts

.55 ex housing
standard exhaust cam
bells and brackets for a 360mm brake kit
pillar pod for boost gauge
standard headlights

Just need to sort out some side lights, and get my loom down to Ryan for some mods.

 

Love this car.The wheels are mint too.I think the standard lights look better too.

 

Looks tidy Neil, I knew you'd be back in one, one day!!

 

Ok time for some updates.
Lights chaged back to standard





40psi boost gauge and pod fitted





Brake res and strut top covers fitted





Moc up of new front brakes

 

The brakes will use my old Porsche rear 4 pots, Reyland bells and brackets and 355mm disks. I did look at using the old fronts and 380mm disks but they are too close to the wheel.

 

Lovely car mate and that flooring in your garage is well cool!

 

Awesome love the engine bay
Dont think those brakes will be very good

 

What do you mean Puss i doubled up the cardboard , was just trying to work out which pair of calipers to use and what size of disk i could get away with.

 

I love it

The standards, the wheels and Pacifica ... looks great !

 

Very nice Neil, but get the ambers back in.

 

Lovely looking neil by far nice on the standard lights

 

Paul im unsure on ambers as i think the smokes work well with the colour, plus there a nightmare to find a good set.

 

cracking car m8 when you letting me have a shot .............lol

 

What he said. Looks absolutely stunning with the ambers in

 

.....I defo prefer it on ambers mate, but then it's your car so if you like the smokey joes then stick with them.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Very nice. Sensable. But for how long.

 

Stunning just love it

 

Haha nope staying under 400bhp and parts will only be replaced to make it drive better or be more reliable.
Saying that 380mm brakes sort of brake that rule, but there going to look cool and stop it well.

 

Ive just looked at the pics of the car i thought i reconise that reg......It used to be wennys car.

I went to ford fair in this car 2 years ago.

 

Yip was Wennys and PewterRS before that.

 

looking good mate

 

Bit of a change on the brake front as i won these on Ebay the other night.
380mm Alcons





Bit of a tight fit
Ive had to remove the weights so will need to get the wheels re-balanced now.





Going to mod the old 310mm front kit to fit on the rears, only need to skim the caliper to take the wider disk. I plan to eventualy use my brembo 4 pots on the rear and the original as handbrake only.

 

sweet

 

Thanks mate hope to get the rears finnished tomorrow and give them a test

 

Mad brakes mate

 

Those brakes are HUGE love it

 

Ive decied to just buy a new rear brake kit rather than mess with modding the calipers to fit the wider discs , so the 310mm front kit is now forsale.

 

Dropped the car of yesterday to be detailed and nipped in today to check on progress, should get it back on Mon or Tues.
I have also ordered a set of 300mm rears from Reyland , which will be here at the start of the week.

 

very nice

 

Looking good mate

 

Who's doing to detailing? Got my saph done by the bloke in markinch last year, makes a huge difference to the appearance!

I'm just along the coast from you, drive past the end of your road most days. Always good to know local detailers and stuff.

 

very nice
