Good luck with your project Alan, what are you doing with the mellow yellow?

[alancdavis]

sell it to fund the build ..

[191964]

Fully agree with you and so my choice will most likely be a reasonably standard Zetec ,,, Drop a BDA cam cover on it and a pair if side drafts for period look and off you gp

Just like Taffr`s Rothmans car ,looks the part even if its not 100% original.
Darrell (not Darren) has a lot of good repro works parts and will offer plenty of pish taking to go with them.

Nice choice Alan, simple livery but very effective at the same time, will watch your build closely when does it commence ?

This is the doner car ,,,, a 1600 sport,,, Chap I got the car from has already done quite a lot of the body work

[alancdavis]

OK,,, First question on many,,

Did the roll gage fitted to cars of this period have a single or double diagonal on the rear cage ? also were they fitted with door bars

[alancdavis]

Shell fully seam welded and crush holes welded up
4 link rear boxes
Panhard tower and bars
Big gearbox tunnel
Big diff tunnel
Full fire wall
Upright round turrets
Full shell strengthening kit fitted
Double front bulkhead
Anti dive kit
Double anti roll bar brackets
6 point cage with MSA spec floor plates
Fully skidded underside





After the shell was sorted it was given a quick blow over to highlight any imperfections and then it will have another coat of light blue primer

No - too both, didn't even need a diagonal for rally !

But then you could also have alloy cages back in the day !

Thanks John .

The back mounting on a "REAL" Group 4 Escorts are like drawing 20.
