Mk2EscortSport!

sorry guys, couple more questions. Im thinking of getting a compressor for spraying the car. possibly second hand. What should I look for. Im not sure what minimum specs I should be looking at. I do not want to get a heap of shit but do not want to spend a shit load. Any ideas?

Hi guys thanks for your help , will shoot down to the place in Newtown,.... and get some 'Z grip' bog. Also can anyone recommend a good etch primer to use on bare metal? Only want to do this job once so want to get it right! Any advice would be great. Cheers Jason

I am welding up all the holes,.... just using the fiberglass for dents, and filling after welding. Which is the best brand of bog to use then? I have used supercheap shit before and it is no good.

Which is the better type? My mate seems to reckon that the fiber based stuff is better? I have used it a bit and it seems very easy to work with.

Have got the clutch kit but do not have the time to do it at the moment. Will learn to live it for another month or so. Thanks for the advice. Cheers Jason

ok will do, thanks for the help.

Actually just got a clutch kit, $170 for supercheap for a exedy kit. Not to badly priced so I got it. Will do the install this weekend. Will look at the oil seals and see what sort of state they are in. Cheers Jason

sweet, well ill just leave it for now,.... rather spend the time on the escort. Thanks for the help!

Is there any danger in just leaving it as it is for the moment? Its not that bad..... The laser is in real good nick apart from this so will probably eventually get it done. anyone know what a clutch kit will cost? Thanks for the advice. Cheers Jason

Hi, Got a couple of little problems with the daily. Clutch shudder in my 86 laser. Anyone know if there is a common problem with these cars that causes this? Had a look at the haynes manual and it suggests engine, gearbox mounts, warped pressure plate, or a glazed clutch?. Does anyone know a way to figure out which it could be? Cheers Jason

Little update: Have not been able to do fuck all at the moment as I am waiting for the garage to free up. Just trying to source parts that I need. Currently looking for Capri vented discs, Lowered springs, balance bar and master cylinders for bias pedal box. Any help would be great!

Standard 1600 at the moment,.... will worry about the new engine later All the nice new interior has been removed to start the rust work. Rust in the passenger side inner sill,... also under the bracket that the passenger seat mounts to at the front (removed in pic). Current remote brake booster setup. Works well but am changing it to a bias pedal box (currently making, pics soon)

Sweet Cheers mate,... Looks a shit load better. This is my project. Will get some more pics up soon!

Finally took some photos today of the escort, started up an account with imageshack to host photos etc so i could post them up. Is there anyway I can get them better/bigger than the example below?!

Cheers mate, i have moved it to a nice big garage in Petone so I can get some serious work done . The one in Korokoro had no power. Started the pedal box mods today is all going well. Will post pics soon!
