Also paint is not far away!

Shocks as a bit of a upgrade to the ride 

Also input shaft of 5 speed may need to be slightly shortened to prevent thrust washers wearing out on your 1600

Yes gearlever hole needs to be moved further back. You will need a longer clutch and speedo cable. Gearbox will bolt on to xflow without change of bellhousing. Although bellhousing may be tight fit in trans tunnel.
Xflow flywheel may be able to be drilled to pinto size clutch? Otherwise I think its xflow pressure plate with hillman hunter? clutch plate.

Practicality of the whole thing id go with tints. Merging lanes, pulling out of awkward exits etc are difficult when you cant see past your shoulder, especially if its going to be used daily

This! From experience with my van. 

Van races on!

Easiest thing is to ring ford, they can tell you all about your car from the vin

Not from my experience, they don't want to know about old stuff

This now belongs to Zebra Dude, Looking forward to seeing it done!

How do you find cars like that! Oldschool Escort sport division should be a thing

Woah that panel work! Are you doing it yourself or got a mate to do it?

Got a panel beating mate helping me out on it. Just gota give it another look over and a thumbs up then its ready to go to the painters!

What are the points like?

* Just read your post again

These are the wheels going on. 185/60/r14

Shes looking pretty flash! 

Paint is called brigade red. Yeap completely standard apart from wheels. Looking forward to seeing it on the road.

Is there a time tonight for it?

Awesome thanks for the replies, never thought about the Classic Ford magazines (can't even remember the last time I bought a magazine for that matter).

 

Will give palmside a ring, and that bumper one is super handy as my rear bumper needs replacing as well

Paul does all the rubbers you were after, Bonnet rubbers, bell housing gaiter etc. They are just not listed on his site

Contact Paul through his site, http://www.classiccarbumpers.co.nz/
He is based in Whangarei and will be able to help you.

Nice car mate

Anyone know what its like doing the Construction equipment side of things for these guys? Sounds like that's the role for the Whangarei branch. Any feedback would be appreciated.
