escort mk1 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 hey guys hopefully i should have the engine in end of the week. the problem with building a car an hour and a half out of chch is you always find some seals or nuts and bolts that you are missing. but its slowly coming along. when others have mounted a mk2 break booster did you have a problem with the rod being too long and pushing the break pedal out too far??? this happened to me so i had to cut a 30 mm section out and weld it back together. it said in the hanes workshop manual the pedal should sit 93mm from the fire wall and mine sat 123mm. but it all worked out good.

kyteler Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Those wheels are Weller Steels (or a variation thereof), I used to have some on my old MkII. Look quite nice all polished up, not sure white would look too shit hot, but then again I'm generally not a fan of white wheels.

Gaz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Lub that mk2. Lights behind grill rock. You did a nice job of modifing it for 6 years ago standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
