Damion, still haven't found it sorry. I might have left it at the mechanics, I'll ask him and get back to you if you still need it.


Anyway, I'm thinking about taking it out drag racing once the engine goes in.
What wheels would I be best using? At the moment I have a set of 15x7 Sapphire wheels, with pretty new rubber, really wide. Should I use these on the back and say some 13's on the front? (i'm guessing they'd be a bit lighter than 15's?)
Engine should go in in the next week or two (hopefully[B)]), then it's straight in for a tune, and off to Calder on the next Friday. Hopefully the diff can handle launching, that's what stopped me from taking the yellow car. [xx(]

I was pretty much set on the 15's, but everyone has them now.[B)]
Other than Mark's blue RS, I've yet to see a set on another car with the 16's. [:p]

Yeah, Marks car is bloody nice. Hopefully the green one will be ready for Small Ford Sunday and we can all go cruising.

Went and priced up some Sparco's today, talk about pricey. $1100/seat, so that might have to wait a while. Hah. Found a really nice steering wheel though, so I'll go back and buy that along with a set of pedals and some roll cage padding. [B)]

I've just been playing around lately really, all the boring little bits. Put the back half of the roll cage back in, not sure if I'll put the front in at this stage. And started mounting my harness, need racing seats first though, so I'm just wasting time really. [:p]

I tried my circle headlight grille on just for ideas, I think I prefer the rectangles. I'll let the pictures do the talking.








Anyway, I'm off to do some more little things. [:p]

i dont have a cosworth cover to sell...

Why would you be asking that question??? are you planning on putting a cossie back in there???

I HOPE SO!![;^)]

Ty, I'm going to try. Depends if the budget will allow it, which seems to be everyone's problem! [:x)]
I was thinking of putting a Cossie head on my current pinto if I can do it reasonably cheap. And I love how it looked with the green cover on the cossie, so I thought it would be easier to get that from you than do it myself.

Rhys, I'm thinking about it. I reckon they'll look more in place once the superlites go on. I'm trying not to spend any money on it before it's running, which is hard.

Hopefully I'll go up to Swires today and see if he can do me a deal on swapping the engine. I'm sick of waiting! [B)]

I'll most likely stick with the rectangles. I'm just trying to find ways to make it more my car, can't stop thinking of it as Ty's. [:p]

Putting a engine in it will help [;^)]

I've been having a little toy around with photoshop tonight. I'm starting to like gold simmons. Green and gold escort!
Anyway, I've been planning on putting FR17's on the project, so I figure why waste money on another set of wheels for the green car when I can use the Simmons on this until the project is done?
I'm about half way towards the money I need to get Simmons, bloody expensive things they are! [B)] If anyone knows of any second hand ones let me know. [:p]

Anyway here's a chop with the gold ones on it. I quite like it, though I don't think I'm game enough to actually buy gold ones. Can't go wrong with silver. [:p] Wonder if it's possible to get them resprayed and how much, I'll have to go back down to the simmons place and find out.
