Hey Roger,
Great pics and could come in handy later. What yellow is that you have used on your car? I'm going to go Yellow but more than likely the Holden Monaro Devil Yellow. I am thinking Black bumpers and trims but have the Square headlight, which I reckon looks meaner with the flares.

How did you get so much offset on your front wheels to fill the arches. Just one of the problems I will be looking at later.

Do you know what the wheels were off or did you order a set with the offset you wanted?

Also what is the name of the colour yellow you have? it it original MK1 or another colour?

Awesome car Roger.

Just having a look through the pics and i noticed you got some sort of hose/fitting going into the exhaust. Where does the pipe come from and whats it's function?

Also, Good idea with the chain to stop the tailshaft hitting the ground! Is this legal for Racing? Note to self - replace big heavy lump of steel that always seems to be in the way

How do you find the EBC Ceramics?

Is there any way to dload the videos as i am on dialup and usually don't like waiting around for them to load up?

Thanks,
Daniel

Michael,

One of the real problems Escort owners
[and its not only escort owners but other borderline?? classic cars]
fall into/group/ catagory what ever...............

one is using them as transport every day, whilst improving modifying

other is trailer sailer/non primary car eg not needed to be going any time soon.

This means expectations and/or time to work on them vary widely!

Just do what u can.

Don't worry, my thing has been coming together for a looong time, many years in fact. Trouble is I could quite easily start from scratch and make more improvements.

Like Nev says iterations.

Sounds like you have a plan so just keep ticking off the boxes every now and then.
