Time to tint the windows Rhys!! [%]match the lenses and the black wing and bumpers (when you paint them black)

Looking Great!

Looking good as usual

Yes, photos are at Aldinga (Silver Sands) and rear lenses are tinted. I will one-day get windows tinted too.

As far as the bumpers go I decided to leave them colour coded to be different. I had them painted up properly a bit over a month ago for All Ford Day along with under the boot lid.

It really does look great Rhys..

Once the tinting is dont it will look even better!

use to live about 2 minutes away from there, when i was a youngen!

cheers
Rhys

Update:
Now got about 3700km on clock since rebuild. Front is sitting touch lower thanks to some different spacers and new shocks. Also found out during my last wheel alignment that Im running -1degree camber on both sides from the mods to strut top mounts, not much but good for road driving/not getting extreme tyre wear. Bought some EBC green pads for the front, have now gained confidence in the braking system.
It needs new extractors as I damaged the current ones driving up a car trailer. Last weeks track day was the real test of the motor and I was very happy with the way it performed. No hiccups mechanically so I'm happy with that, especially considering I wasn't easy on it.
Not much else to report at this stage.
Pics of extractors (notice how pipe change shape into thin flat pipes, also are bent upwards into floor of car)

Will you be using the same extractors again or changing to something else? What is the pipe diameter on those Pacemaker big bore extractors? Have you used other brands? Any comparisons?

Oh also, just thought I would mention that factory camber setting on Mk2 Escort sedan is 1 1/4 degrees.

cars looking good as always..

What was with the different wheels on the track? Special rubber or something?

Sean,
At this stage I was thinking of using the same, will research further before I buy. Used Lukeys before rebuild, never again, smallest set of pipes Ive seen on a 2lt. Will get measurements for you as I can't remember off top of my head.
