New bulkhead fabricated
New front turrets to Mk2 escort geometry
Couple repairs
Gearbox, prop and exhaust tunnels

Stainless side exit exhaust,

just got to get saving for all the parts i need now!

Not much of an update today but an update none the less,

Got the grp4 thick tube billys and new Compbrake -1 degree top mounts fitted and got one of the new doors trial fitted. Took a bit of time to get the hinges drilled in the right place but they seem to fit ok, with a bit of fettling they should be bob on.

Hi, OFAS are Old Ford Auto 's . Good luck with your search for a 100e. Seem to be getting quite popular these days/

Thats the car down to a bare shell ready for heading to Glasgow to get sandblasted next weekend

Any updates?

Prince_Thain

Wow! Never seen one of these before, looks fantastic you're really lucky to be able to drive this around when it's done. Doubt you would see another one like this on the road anytime soon!

surrey_100e

Think it got broke for parts, remember seeing it for sale not so long ago.

DarrenM

That's a shame, was coming together well!

auldy

Hi, yeah kept the engine and a few bits and sold the rest.

Engine is going in a Mk1 Cortina project im doing and ive got an Escort Cosworth now.

Cheers

Buddy sorry to hijack your thread. Seen you had a alachi steering rack conversion in your mk1 cortina in another thread How do you find it? I'm almost at the point of doing that bit of mine and I can't make my mind up which kit to go for ? Cheers stew

auldy

Hi mate,

Dont bother with the Alachi stuff its total shite! Had the Old Ford Autos stuff on the 100e and its quite good (modded 2nd hand stuff) but by far the best gear available is from RETRO FORD LTD, all new fabricated stuff and quality is 2nd to none. Thats what im running on the current Mk1

cheers

Weepeeps

Cheers mate I kinda thought as much I'll get on the phone to them in jan cheers for the advice much appreciated stew
