Progress report

Had the new M/C and brake line turn up so made a start on fitting this all up







Will hopefully be able to run the rear lines this week

Also made a start on fitting the studs on, made fitting the wheel 10000000 times easier Again will be doing the rear soon as ill be ordering all new drums, shoes, cylinders etc so will swap everything over all in one go



Last job was to start fitting up the dash and putting the carpet back in with some trim pieces

essexRSTSouthend

burton power or autospecialists do their own. This a cracking restore. Just read from start to now. I nearly cried at the rot you found. Amazing work and i'm sure your wallet blowing fevers now.. Another black rs saved, good stuff. Will keep my eye on this.

big.p

Cars looking awesome mate just wondering if they're mondeo calipers if so where did you get the fitting kit from as I'm struggling to find one
Cheers

P4ULT

No doubt ill try get to a couple. We are about to start an extension so gonna be a busy time. Hence why I'm selling some stuff need to make some room lol.

xr2imetalhead

Jamie_EscortSport

Thanks amte, we're getting there

the others said mate, burton power, AS dont sell them anymore i dont think, just sit nicely except i need to find a standard look switch backing

blowing fevers is an understatement and im still not finished
but all good things n all that

These are ST170's mate, pretty much exactly the same (few differenes but unsure what exactly)

ahhh all the best with it then matey n hopefully we'll catch up in the year

Yee it suits it spot on, apparently another rst a fair ew years back was finished in aubergine but yet to see the pics


cheers guys

Jamie_EscortSport

havent done too much this week on the car,spent a bit of time this afternoon fitting up the new tie rods TRE's etc on the rack and re-ftting that, had my dad clean up the rear lights as they were abit matte

and here they are fitted




More boxes of bits that are slowly getting eaten through

Jamie_EscortSport

finally got the paint for the floor underneath, polyurethane black





not the best of pics but as good as im gona get whilst its sat on axle stands, and yes i got covered

Jamie_EscortSport

Have finished running the brake lines underneath, all clipped in new retainers

Spent some time fitting up the rear roll bar with new shackles n purple bushes

Had few bits back from the powder coaters so fitted these up along with the roll bar, new track arms, roll bar brackets and poly bushes (purple and black series)







Also had the lights fitted in luckily managed to track down a very good condition pair of carello's



She's now off the axle stands and i took her out the workshop to give it a clean and take a couple of snaps alongside the daily





I'm hoping within the next week or so we'll be fitting the engine in, got to finish off a couple more jobs in the bay and then shel be going in

I missed this thread. Car looks great in that colour, it's my favourite EsCos colour.

Fullflush

Awesome colour - half the time pictures don't do it justice

Jamie_EscortSport

Cheers for the comments guys, your right the pics really dont do it justice...cannot wait to get it out proper and get some shots of her, hopefully thats not too far in the distance

RSmark84

I'm liking the Sport too, I'd be inclined to fit spots on it myself. Also get them clears of the S2, ambers all the way!

From what you started with I never thought that it would get finished never mind look that good, credit where credits due, that is an amazing transformation.

Top job, well done

Love the colour mate

Jamie_EscortSport

Thanks for all the comments lads!!!

Been quite a while since I last posted and to be honest works been a bit slow on the car, iv been collecting bits and waiting on others but have now made a start back on her

First things prepping the engine: changing the flywheel and fitting a cps bracket, coil pack bracket etc. also gave the gearbox a bit of tarting.
Hadn't really even looked at the car for a while and it kinda shows so hopefully now faith will be restored

My new dust catcher







Few of the bits that turned up...








Will also been building the loom for the gen8 ecu

Doing a fab job there mate, bet it was scary when you first got it though! Still in the days where tin worm was common on cars.

Lee Grout

All that dust on that lovely paint....not that you can tell from that pic lol

Jamie_EscortSport

Had an idea of what she needed but it did get abit out of hand lol


The dust was an optional extra

Jamie_EscortSport

Last few days we've been prepping to fit the engine and it's now in.....now to start fitting things back together

Nice empty bay





We took the pikey approach to fitting it and used pallets to get her in lol One with the lump in...






Had to take the chance to get it outside and take some snaps

marky_g

Colours lovely

Escos Jam

Looks awesome mate!! Great job

Craigsteen rs

dalehalket

Jamie_EscortSport

That's a lot of hard work and a lot if money,good to see 1 being seen through to the end.
Keep up the hard work.

What you racing in mate?

Jamie_EscortSport

[QUOTE=P4ULT;6631605]What you racing in mate?[/QUOTE



Racing in the porsche championship bud, so the s2 has just been sat in a barn gathering dust

Beach

Just read from start to finish......awesome mate its a credut to you and you're team lets call them.

Makes me half wish i'd kept mine a little more simple as its becoming hard fitting stuff in around all these extra bits ive chose to use or the mega annoying weld in cage thats now made access into the car a nightmare lol. Oh the joys.

Love the colour too, nothing better than a fresh paint shot straight out the booth.

I'll keep my eye on this one now, when you hoping to have it done by ?

Fordmad!

Great work! Love the mk frs too!

Jamie_EscortSport

Cheers beach appreciate it, its been a long process but hoping its nearing the end now. yeaa hence why i havent had mine fitted yet, itl be going back to the bodyshop when its up n running to have it fitted (however kinda in two minds now seeing it all together)

Spent saturday buttoning the interior back together, just tryna locate bumper fixings etc

visa_broke

epic thread and nearing the end

toutcos

I really do like that colour is suits it down to the ground

Jamie_EscortSport

The pictures really don do it justice, it works soo well with the car im so chuffed with the decision, just need to get it out and waxed!

Heres a pic from a while back when i was playing around with different positions for mounting the cooler, hence the tape to avoid scratching the car with the bumper going on and off



Quick snap of the rear and underside from the weekend, fuel pump carrier and pump fitted up, braided lines on just need re-routing as im not 100% happy with how they are currently sitting
