bro, just to raise the point again

i seriously cant understand y your working on a ford escort rather than this.

i mean fuck... common sense

Because my mk1 will actually own the fuckin pants of every escort ive so far seen, and ive seen heaps.

The vanage cant be modified and finished to the extent the Escort can be/will be.

And I cant afford to eight the wagon too, would be tops though. Its getting a bigass Coffin Sub box/Chillybin soon, just drawing up plans.

Hey, ive been net-slack lately, but the van is racing along, random things that come to mind being

*up to rust patch #17

*bought 12a J-port plates

*pulled engine apart and its a good one, carboned up as its been nanna'd

*engine mocked up in van, clearances are not too bad

*have an auto 7 box to chop up for bellhousing, to adapt to bongo transaxle.

*on the hunt for an early rotary manifold and weber

*all locks at the locksmith having new barrels and keys

*half way through making new door cards.

*BOUGHT FUCKING MAZDA BADGE FROM E-BAY!

etc etc, its raging, never been so motivated.

^ what a shame haha.

Been trying to get the laurel roadworthy enuf for a wof so have to share time between both. i think it should move under its own power early next year, the body a few months off completion at this rate.

Buggered around a bit tonight and put door handles back in, overhauled some locks and tried to get the slide door catching but havta remove it (drill out rusty screws, one in three have to be drilled.) Also discovered that the whole pillar and 1/4 window unscrews to make it pillarless!!!!!! pix coming
