Got another few hours in the garage this arvo so cracked on with the firewall blanket, it's sitting nicely now. All i have to do now is cut the holes for anything that heads through it. I'll do that one at a time as I come along to it, I also want to get eyelets for where the hangers are up at the top, surprisingly though there isn't really much weight on the hangers. Once the material gets snug to the firewall it starts to hold it's own weight with friction. 
 

 
I had leftovers from the roof and the firewall that I didn't want to go to waste, waste not want not as they say. So I used them to go under the rear seat, between the two offcuts it's covered the whole area. 


 
I think I'm going to grab the jute cloth car builders have for the rest of the floor pan, it's only 70 bucks for a roll and it's pretty thick.
 
Also chucked new bearing races in the hubs and started painting them.
 

 

 
Still no shockers or diff, but if neither arrive by the weekend I think I'll start putting the wiring harness back in the cabin area. That's going to be a big job because I still need to build a separate "accessories" harness for the fuel pump, boot battery, ecu and a few other electrical things. 

I started cleaning up the door strikers and latches this arvo and mocked up the discs, I have the rotor bolts soaking in cleaner and I'll give them a wire brush tomorrow and button it all up. 


 
I would have fitted the strikers and latches but I didn't have any new star washers so I ordered a pack. 


 
Still haven't gotten a postage notification so looks like the diff or shockers won't be here by the weekend. The wait continues .

What you do Mark is get ones from a 4dr part out car TC/TF included and grab the rear ones only as they won't have been used 1/10th time as the fronts.

Noice, assembly queue haha, I have sheds of assembly queue parts !
Fun fact and your decision in brake rotor orientation.
Installing then Catherine wheel direction or saw blade direction?
Before you say anything, it does not make any difference except looks, however the difference will be in braking distance being a smidge further than non slotteds due to less friction area. (Engineering Explained did the test), USA install then saw blade style..
No fear tho, when you find a pair of Volvo 4 pots, the stopping distance well lessen by heaps , I mean heaps even with taxi pads !
I need to look at my mk2 brakes as they are same as yours but running Volvo calipers , Catherine wheel direction, it's an upgrade very worth doing , escort MC works fine with them too.. let's hope the inserts turn up tomorrow for you 🤞

Shockers arrived - they're wrong. They called me up yesterday and said I ordered the wrong ones when I ordered the Capri/British RS ones. I said I didn't think so, that the ones they wanted to send would be too small. The assured me that they would fit and surprise surprise when they arrived they're too small. 

Pics ?
Capri are shorter by about 15mm or there abouts to Australia RS/all pinto escort. Send back or space up the insert??

Here's a set I have as you can see from the post number these are for Capri escort RS UK models if yours are the same as mine , that's all there is. They don't have 2.0 struts in UK only 1600 and Capri which are escort mk1 twin cam and UK RS only, not Australia RS.
The diameter is 42mm . Compare pics with yours mate





If you have Capri struts all will be fine but pinto strut is it's own family and needs the shock to be spaced up to be squashed tightly. Only trying to help and clarify what you've got.
Inserts never slide against the tube there's always a gap. The gland but does the locating

Glad this has cleared things up ..
To space then up I've used large nuts and turned them down or just use washers that have a wide hole, they'll centre themselves if they are 2in dia , they don't need to be super exact but as close as you can get
