Poor old air compressor probably cacked it painting 2 cars at once.
 
If the column mods dont work out, and you arent going to a Maclaren push button start,  I have a complete MK1 column with ignition and set of keys floating around.
 
 

Today I resprayed the doors and bootlid as the finish before was bit rushed . Also dug out the Ford GT mirrors to be painted, and I am on the fence with them being black or colored so thought while painting to just do them and see. Personally like black mirrors but since there's going to be satin black/charcoal stripes, I don't want to over do it.

I suppose after the last car I'm up to spec with this 2pk painting now, still learning but getting better each time.



As there was still heaps of paint left over I quickly steelo padded this works style centre console , again only cause I had paint spare but it'll end up being satin black after I've remodeled it to suit the head unit and switches etc.

Thanks Mark, I'm happy now work the doors and bootlid, just minor cutting and polishing required now.
Going back about 15yrs I did paint a mates mk1 escort in jet black, that took a lot of block sanding and polishing but looked amazing, I have only ever seen 1 genuine black mk1 Escort which was a GS sport pack (not quite 1300GT spec) super rare.

Yes, I hope the Focus barrel will be what's needed to update our old ign barrels, I think it'll be here early next week which will give me more to play with and let everyone know if you or Deano want to convert yours.

Had a look at the Kak rotors, the 12mm isn't a drama with my calipers, they're 14mm gap, and shaving the axle, I can do on a lathe. I bought Alfa rotors for my Anglia and axles needed reducing too. Only thing with Kak is they are small dia 240mm? , I'll go the mx5 rotors which are about 260mm . I think the NA,NB models are 4 stud so just oval the holes to Ford makes it simpler . I should dummy up the calipers on the housing and see what thickness rotor hat I need before shelling out on stuff..

Yeah is is for the parker light, these are old escort ones, the new ones came with the crystal lights and are for T10 bulbs so are plenty smaller than the pic
