Awesome Phil - Marcus does some good work doesn't he? My bonnet, ecu cover, air filter box have been done by him.

However I have a bad mix of 2x2 (which I prefer) and 4x4 (which Marcus loves.

Really does look awesome. Seen that Escos pic before - who is it? Not YUM?

Cheers Guys

Hi Lincoln, I think it is Marcus that is making the covers, I ordered through Mike Rainbird. By the pics they look great and all the cars that their gear is in look great too. I cant remember where I got the pic from but it was one of the UK cars. I should have the covers soon...one more piece to the puzzle sorted[:p]

Its all finally coming together...even the engine is now underway

My friend Steve let me loose on his mill under his careful guidance with the pic below being the outcome. I can see why most people only go for 6 long studs...machining the outer 4 is a challenge requiring some very special custom tooling. After the special tools were aquired/made it has all finally started happening[:p] Next the torque plate goes on and the bores will me machined and honed[%]

Hi Phil,
Have been looking through your project and wondering what front struts you ended up using? Are they mk1 cortina or capri. Also what rated inserts did you use with your 400lb springs.
I'm doing similar conversion to mine, and have hit a hurdle with steering etc.
Originally wanted to do a rear mounted rack but it only ends up being 200mm wide for correct geometry. Did you use escort front rack?

Thanks Mate

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I ended up changing back to Mk1 Cortina struts from Capri struts as the geometry wasn't right. I have had the Mk1 Cortina struts converted to the same spec as Grp4 Escort. The inserts are custom valved so I dont know what the rates are,they were set up by Paul Joyner at Heasmanns in Sydney. I used an Escort crossmember, rack and control arms then had made custom adapters to convert from the Mk1 Cortina struts to the Escort control arms. All works well
