ah thats how you get that piece apart. might have to give that a nudge when i get back from my holiday next week.
yup, rotiseree is getting prettyt darn tempting, was thinking of modding a couple of old engine stands if i can find them

Hi Marty, thanks for all your emails and really appreciated that you sent the forum of your Anglia... very good job to those rims but most of all I really liked those adjustable struts. I always wanted to buy a pair but never found a really good pair...

I have fitted the quaife half shafts to my Escort and Atb.....sound perfect lol

Welldone for your job

here is bit more of an update, i have replaced the lower radiator panel and widened the 'mouth' behind the grill at the same time, also removed the crank handle bump too !




there was also a huge rust spot where the battery used to live, i cut it out and replaced with newer metal,(EA Ford wagon roof panel lasts for years as repair steel), i welded this in from under the guard so less to grind back in the engine bay.


This was todays effort, made a box from 2.5mm flat and shaped to sit next to the strut tower, this will be my strut brace mounting.


the strut brace is an ally item raided from the rear towers of a '03 Subaru WRX, i paid $50 on ebay inc post!! I'm not keen on the Whiteline braces, seems too much flex in the mountings which defeats the purpose of having a strutbrace...unless for looks only!






Another 2wks and the engine bay should be in 2pk primer, only some bulkhead mods to do and then i'll move to the floor pan rust !

my new car is looking sweet !!

What colour was i havin' it?

Hi Marty

What did you think of the guys from da beth (Adelaide slang for you interstater's) who did you blasting ?

Being in SA im looking for someone to do my shell. Have heard some horror stories though of straight quater panels coming back warped to hell from guys blasting the crap out of them and buckleing them.

Sweet build though mate!

Hi, i took it there as its close to home and was the cheapest around, most others charge $700+ now. The quality was ok but the forgot to do the underneath so it went back again ! My 1st car was done at Salisbury, A1 Grit Blasters on Stanbel rd, he done a really good job on the mk1 Escort.

Shane, the car isnt going to look sedate in black, not with Polley Arches plus 7" wide white Revolution wheels, Like these!!

Here is the strutbrace mount all completed, pics are as i made it.

Is that a Prefect to the left?

I'd be on the phone to this crowd and find out where that little gem is
