Made up a set of brake lines today don’t know if I will use them on this car yet






Got a brand new master to go on

Going to give the discs and hubs a fresh paint




After a nice long dip in the vinegar


Nice state x member

We have a proper twincam anti roll bar for the mex but that means using proper twincam anti roll bar brackets witch we don’t have , so its out with the dill and the welder to make some

Basically the bolt holes need moving back to allow for the shorter roll bar


Extra plate needs to be added


And that’s it the caster will be restored back to were it should be


And lastly for today I made a stabilizer bracket for the air filter

[SHIFTY]

White paint job and that shell is stunning

[Stage1motorsport]

ARB back no

Got some parts back from the platters yesterday

Shinny wheel studs

I like a bit of detail I have gone to great lengths to get the correct nuts and thick washers that are fitted to mk1 escorts form new they are a full steel locking nut with no nylon in site and I had to make the washers from scratch

I used the correct UNC and UNF bolts in all the rite places

Bracket painted and it has a rubber sleeve added to stop the ht leeds rubbing thru

Cleaned the discs up

Re greased the bearings

Painted the discs in very hi temp paint







The tank is all done ready to go in

Found a nice pick of a RS axle with the brake lines on it, so I copied them



Wasn’t completely happy with some lines so re painted some panels






Handbrake before

Handbrake after striping and re plating





First panel to be all finished

[mike77cos]

Lovely work going on there, sure it'll look great in the flesh...

Out of intrest I notice the ID is for an export car was there not a temptation to make it left hand drive??

Yer a bit strange that. he has had the car since the early 80s and it’s always been RHD and British registered
