Finished bolting in the fishnet recaros this morning while waiting on materials to arrive.

 

also picked up some wedge lock washers for the brake discs.

I don’t know why, but the hunter brake hoses fit the escort calipers, even though the internet says Theyr different threads. So what if Theyr cross threaded right

Brakes are on!!!!! 
hoses and lines connected.

have ordered some pads from palmside for “fast road car/high performance “. 
 

once they arrive I can fit them and bleed it all up. Check for leaks, apply electrical tape and cable ties, walk away.

also altered the gear stick angle for a more rearward position. Easier to reach 1st now.

 

post cert I will get new carpets fitted.

 

next on the list to do:

shifter hole cover and boot, adjust rear brake shoes, bolt check. Wait for engine to be built. Add in the extra resonator I have. Modify the centre console for the new shifter hole

 

shitchea!!!

Someone is on a roll.. having a deadline kind of creates some much needed motivation.

 

pulled the rear drums off to inspect the brakes. So minty fresh in there, bone dry, lots of meat on the shoes, drums looked clean as.

chucked the guard roller on and pushed the lip up slightly just for a little extra clearance.

then went about degreasing as much as I could off the diff, it was 20mm deep in some spots. 50 years of oil leaking 4 banger will do that. Checked the diff oil, she’s good.

 

then I tripped over the swaybar, dang I need to sort that out too.

 

so I knocked that off the list, was actually simple and only a 30min job once I worked out a plan.

this is actually getting me motivated to start on the other hunter once this is on the road

Because we’re on a roll

 

The mintex pads arrived from palmside.

chucked them in along with the new calliper bolt retainer lock thingys.

bled it up when the mrs arrived. No leaks, epic pedal feel.

then I decided to swap out the oldschool wheel nuts for the crusty chromes off the other car, just to see how it’ll look, I’ll replaced these with new ones at some stage. Also added in some centre caps I picked up ages ago.

it really finishes it off I reckon.

 

got the invoice for the engine parts, so once those arrive it’s rebuild time.

engine is getting all new seals, springs, rotor bearings, unbreakable apex seals, devconned water jackets for the j porting, port matched intake, tidied exhaust ports. Balanced rotating assembly along with the lightened flywheel.
