After a wrestle with my old cortina sump and WC X-Member found I needed a new RS sump, had a new cast AL sump ordered and engine in soon after, relatively hastle free.

Webber linkage and intake manifold all set up

Next problem...standard steering coupling is knocking on the cross member...GRP4 steering coupling needed?

love this car
 
keep the pics and info coming...
 

Great stuff and yes, the GRP4 steering coupler will fix your problem.
 
Cheers,

At my age, In 4 years some earn a home load deposit, some a Trade and some even get a degree, (Now still into my 5 year of that idea), but in for years of my time I'm now only a few work hours away from start up of a complete ground up rebuild of a 1979 MK2 Escort. And cant wait to head out and tear up the tarmac.

Anyone had any experience with these pedal boxes?


 
Interior  Check.

Hi Mate,
 
Love the dash and flocked dash mat.  Can you post some closeups of the dash as I am looking to do something similar?
 
Awesome work.
 
Matt
