Have put the car back together for the next round of Fabrication, was hoping to not send it off again, but might as well get exhaust done at the same time,
 
Here is a few more pics of the Escort Crossmember with Rack and Pinion,
 

 

 
Closer look at the mounts either side
 

 

 

 
Gearbox mount
 

 
Heres a little bonus ive picked up, instant anti-dive kit, ill get an angled bracket welded to the cooler/radiator bracket, think i might have saved a few hundred bucks off a kit from the UK
 

 
Here she is back together, have to find or make a new Turbo manifold as changed the rear housing to a T3 frame

First time I have notice this. Absolutely brilliant way of mounting an engine. Do you mind if I pinch your ideas for a duratec install? Looking at fitting one in both a capri and Escort using the same mounts....I have a very skilled fabricator working on my Escort at the moment and he loves a challenge.
Great stuff. Keep posting pics, please.


Yeah mate all goods hey, not as tho its a new thing to cars, just a matter of not staring at it to long and just getting into it, my suggestion is make sure all ancillaries are on before final welding, i forgot the starter and is really tight in their, did not think it was that big haha

Hey Matt,
 
Essentially they are similar to the ones you made for yours, ill grab a pic for comparison when im next out there.
 
Nonetheless, here is a variation of the anti dive kit, you get the idea.
 

 

 
Here is the rear end with the exhaust, alot going on under their, but tucked away
 

 
Hopefully this is the last time the engine comes out

Hey Buz440,
 
I'm thinking about replacing my seats & I like your Recaro seats.
 
Do you know much about them?
 
Thanks.

Number one rule when 'trying' to build a car, while working and studing is.....
 

 
Never buy another, or...
