Rebuilding my Escort Mk1 Mexico Replica

[AlexG]

Today Iīve done the first real test drive for about 40 km. Working good, only some problems with a stucked speedo... Still many small things to do, but now it looks as it should and of course it drives.... I felt like a small boy just before christmas

Problems sorted out yesterday. Now I have to do some more tests und breaking in the engine for about 500kmīs. After That we will adjust engine and supspension finally and eventually going on the rolling road.
In the meantime I will look to get a "FIA historic regularity car pass". First rallye is sceduled for September. Hope everthing is fina until then

As I always had some problems with boiling brake fluid while using the original brake master cylinder we decided to fit a brake bias box.






The only problem we have is, that we must relocate the fuse box. Will fit automatic fuses instead, using the place from the original ashtray. More pics to follow if completed.

Fuses now installed, some detailing work is done. Now waiting for the OMP aluminium pedals! The end is near.....
