looks awesome mate! loving the reverse steels!

i was wondering 1. what back axles you running? it looks wiiiiiiide! and 2. what arches are they? they look kinda like zakspeed jobbies, but arent wide enough?

great progress there!

Cheers mate

I think you're talking about the old pictures. The arches was custom-made and the axle was from a granada. All that stuff was made by the ex-owner.

The new axle is a standart 3.89


and the arches are brand new (original).

Engine and gearbox are installed again Today, I bought colored brand-new glasses. All valves, all gaskets, sparks, clutch, clutch cable, fly wheel, master cylinder, rear cylinders are all renewed... I am going to buy a new radiator too. That's all for this weekend Now I'm looking for new door mirrors.

Your car looks like, and I say looks like, it's going to be a real credit to every minute you ever spent on it.

Good on you and happy christmads. LOL

Finally I found a pair of mirrors from a breaker but I think these are not original Escort mirrors. I'll paint them black.
