Good luck with the cold starts. They are such a pain in the behind. Mine are great now. But battery looses a bit of power from weekend to weekend. Sometimes needs a little charge Friday nights before weekend.[:p]

great result Rhys car keeps gettin better and better, what was your thoughts on heinrich i go to tafe with one of the apprentices

Jeez, mine struggles to start everyday.

Since my last track day outing the Escort hasn't moved much. It's had a welded 4.11:1 sitting in it and I got so sick of it I stopped driving it. Welded diffs just encourage stupid driving, after all the time and effort I've put into it I don't want to get caught doing something in a moment of weakness and have the thing defected. So on the weekend I finally had a chance to put a open 3.89 centre in which is much more user friendly.

So while the cars been sitting I've been working on restoring the Simmons. I bought another set which I ended up using the chrome outers from and two inners which gave me more dish on the front.

I always wanted to go for a slightly darker shade on the centres too.
I considered having them blasted and powder coated but decided against it and paint stripped and painted myself.

Heres is the end result, Im still trying to get used to them. Probably a bit dark for my liking. Next step is to chose the width of rubber for front. Used to run 195/50s on front but I currently have 205/50s all round.
Also got some new centre caps to finish them off.
