RS front end 
Thanks Marty mexico for the bumperette brackets
 

Thanks Marty. Yeah the lights are Narva 72038 H4 7" 60/55w glass headlamps  and Narva 72192 headlamp housings. They're still not connected yet as I am waiting on a 29mm holesaw to enlarge housing hole to fit original rubber grommet and wiring loom. No mods to wiring loom this way .
No complaints with this conversion. I thought the lights may have been positioned too low but they're actually spot on
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I had about 5 runs tonight. All were very consistent with 16.249 sec being my best time.
This is a great starting point and I'll be interested to see what changes any future mods will make. 
 

 
As a reference the performance when new of:
MK1 1300 Super-  19.9sec
MK1 Twin Cam- 17.0sec
MK2 1.3 XL-  20.3sec
MK2 1.6 Ghia-  19.2sec
MK2 1.6 XL (ADR27A)- 20.5 sec
MK2 2.0 GL-  18.0sec
MK2 2.0 RS2000-  17.9sec

Thanks. I had no axle tramp at all this time.
It happened last time because I dropped clutch too quick trying to race the LJ beside me and didn't know the track would be so sticky  
It might become an issue once I have more power but I think with careful use of the clutch I'll be ok
 
 
 

Yes, thanks. A pair of webers might get me into the 15's but for serious speed I think forced induction is the only way to go

Hi Mark
I'm setting up some dcoe's at the moment and should have them ready in a month or two. But i'd love to try the 38 in the meantime if that's ok with you.
I've sold my 15" steels so no worries there lol.  Engine (at a guess) was doing about 4200~4500?? I was watching the MPH instead of tacho!
I'll be going out again soon no doubt. It will be great to catch up. Cheers

I changed from Mountney woodgrain steering wheel to a cheap SAAS wheel with a twist :D
Painted the spokes black for the RS look and surprisingly the escort badge was a perfect fit
