Ha Ha Ha. No problem Scoop. We had 16 cars turn up. 3100 Capri, GT Capris, 2 and 4 door cortinas, Sierra RS, Thames panel van and so on, so the mix was wide and varied. Some of the guys have Lotus Escorts and cortina 500's in the sheds which would be awesome to see. Hopefully they bring them out on the next event.

If you ever need to have a look, give us a yell and come over.

Just found this thread, top effort longboy, very cool Mk1.

Are you planning to modify the original watts linkage to fit?

Thanks Mud.
Next things on the go are rebuilt mk2 rack with bronze bearings and green tie rods, new lowered reverse eye mk2 rear leafs, install watts linkage with rose joints and nolathane bushes, and my own designed tramp rods to almost simulate a 4 link setup.

+ More boost
Yeeeeeeeehhhaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr

Mate i cant wait to see yours going aswell. Looks like you are building one top little rocket.[88] Even your daily driver looked a top little car.
I think your mate needs an esky. Maybe even another SR

New wheels ordered. 15 x 6 Charcoal black Superlites 5 studs.(4 studs in photo) Couldnt find any other wheels i liked that fitted the escort front offsets. Stupid front wheel drive and modern cars with pos 40 offsets and there 20 inch rims
Anyway, had a mate photoshop the exact wheel tyre combo to see what it would look like. I reckon its allright
