Looks so good, was going to say awesome to see it kept so oldschool on those yoko tyres and minilites. LOL shame you had to get rid of them but def looks better with the tyres fitting better.
Brings back so many memories for me. had a BUNCH of mk1's and 2's.

Yeah kinda wanted them to stay, but they wouldn't fit under the guards and i fixed the lips on them made it worse, and because they were so damn old they were very slippery so just had to go, and contemplating wheel choices atm, would like to try some 4 spokes 

Picked up some factory mk2 escort Recaro seat mounts, 

Seem to make the seats a bit high compared to the flat bar I had, but is alot more comfy overall, will leave them in for now, make something similar with less height will be ideal 

Grabbed a console, but due to gearstick placement I'm trying to think what might work better here instead 

Goes well, starts easy and drives well and even got the tyres squealing today

All legal beagle, any cruises etc hmu,will head upto cars in coffee, few things to do still but that's any car really, needs gearbox badly and decide on a new engine, time to give her a beating

Weirdly just saw one on my lunch break the other day;

Just missed that, dammit 

Brand new belts sorted, had to do alot of work to make them fit though, 

Now to find a wof guy that's good with old cars 

Need to find a tidy console so i can fit some sounds, otherwise buttoning up a few more pieces, to make it look clean in the meantime, will throw some covers on the seats cause they need trimming

Ordered belts but I think they've sent me the wrong ones, was really hoping to do a wof this week, oh well will relax and just get it sorted 

Carpet in! It's OKish, bit baggy over the tunnel but I think I can cut and tighten it once I find a good console 

And just missed the seat belt auction on TM, gutted guess just wait for the next tidy ones to pop up 

Now to sort the carpet finally 

Mine got a new 2 1/4 with stainless muffler to resonator, sounds perfect 

How good! 

Been on holiday etc, damn life, 

Still need seatbelts and carpet to get legal, but have installed new front shocks and tinkered getting things better, but man I love cruising around in this thing, hardpark last weekend was fun too, what a beast! 

Wheels fit better now, 

Need seatbelts and carpet for a wof I think, hopefully sorted soon 

Christ shops wanting $50 per tyre to fit onto wheels now, I near fell over, ah well shop around

Trying to find some damn valve stem seals aswell

Looks good in B&W

New exhaust fitted, lots of ends being tidied up, been cruising around already but need a wof asap lol

Tyres should be nearly here from courier, seatbelts to aquire, then run it through for a check 

Almost ready for summer

Painted mine in satin black 

Brakes working a treat now, 

Need to find some side mirrors and look at a new exhaust system as this ones knackered 

Bit of sunshine is good, finished the window fitting

Temp switch fitted and works well for the fan,

Currently looking into front calipers atm since they're grabbing a wee bit, free em up I'll be happy,

Really need to scrap these tyres unfortunately and find some new ones 

Looking good with windows! 

Welded up a temp switch into housing put that in over the weekend 

Got the brakes working! Stoked, fronts seem a bit grabby but I haven't touched the front struts themselves so I'll look at them soon, been holding off for some capri front legs I haven't found any yet 

Boy it loves the liquid horsepower yeehaa

Tweaking wee bits, hooked up an electric fan for cooling, will weld in a thread for the temp sensor at work and just trying to renew all the brakes at the moment, hardlines done, awaiting braided hoses then see if I'll be buying new front calipers, man I hate doing brakes worst job in the world  

Should have side windows back in the next couple days and it'll at least look complete then 

Few things sorted recently,

LSD diff assembled, new wheel bearings installed, superpro bushings everywhere, just acquired the gaz adjustable shocks and all together under the car again! Boy it bakes the tyres very easy

Onto the next puzzle piece now

LSD and new bearings installed, meshing was perfect in the end, very happy with my first diff rebuild,

more parts to aquire now to keep going!
