Escort RS2000 Broadstripe Signal Green

[Al Sherwood]

Cam cover has had a top coat, but not happy with it, so I will do it again.

You need a different alternatot bracket. Early Broadstripes had the same set up as a MK1 RS2. I have new block brackets and tensioner arms. You will need a alloy bottom bracket as well

Hi Darren....there is always something I get wrong with this bloody car..!lol
Cheers for Doing the Cam cover! Give me a call mate and I will have a chat bout that bracket!
Cheers Al

Fairly sure Ian used other ford paints from the period for the dabs and applied with a brush ,all a bit of guess work really.

the main colour i used, i believe had two names, dependent on year. One name was defo electric blue. This colour was used on strut top nuts, diff nuts and sump alan bolts. Also i used signal orange which was the original colour found on the floorpan. I remember Rob (Hoarder) gave me the colours for the spring poundage on the front. There were also three brushes of paint along the back edge of the leafsprings. Good luck. I think to be fair, whatever colours were freely available were probably used. I believe the paint marks on the floorpan were to tell others bolts had been tightened and checked etc etc.

[Al Sherwood]

Thanks for the help! I will sort out the paints and have a trial run on some parts like servo tower etc!!
I had a load more parts back from the blasters today so cant wait to get them painted!!
Cheers Al

Dont be too careful putting the marks on, it,ll look more authentic. Best of luck.
