This is my Mk1 project. Its just a hobby really, something I've always wanted to do, something hands-on to distract me from my day job.
I've been doing bits and pieces over the last 3 years, but decided to have a proper crack at it, so decided to build my own rotisserie. Built from 30m of RHS of differing sizes, 6 castor wheels, 2 x 8tonne jacks, 60 bolts, 4 cans of spray paint and a few other bits and pieces.

 

Looks like a nice one.
 
So what are the plans for the car?

Good work on the rotisserie. Looks more like what I 'should' have built with the jacks built in.

So what are the plans for the car?

The plans are to build a track day car, hill climbs etc. Hopefully road rego.
 
A few pics from the build:


 

With a more powerfull engine, I thought the front crossmember to chassis rail connection needed beefing up. I've seen it done on other escorts, so bought some bolts & tube, then drilled holes through the chassis.
 


All welded up with some 3mm plate under the rail for extra support.

 

I bought a roll cage kit from Rod Andrews Race Cars. It came with the main hoop, front pillar legs & roof bar already bent and enough straight bar to cut & weld the rest.
I am 6'4, so wanted the main hoop as far back as possible.
Rear floor boxes:

And fronts, extended forward because I didn't like the idea of have a sharp corner of the box right next to my ankle.
 
Cage getting tacked in:


 

Boxes out and dropped down to weld around the tops.


Then back up into its final position.

Time for some diagonals. This is where I wished we had a rotisserie. My mate Craig doing the welding.
 

 Roll cage tied into the 4-link boxes and trans tunnel.

A few more roll cage pics.


 

Nice work sniff,

We'll you be using bubble arches at all?
