Im an Escort, NOTAHO

[NOTAHO]

Rear screen tinted and installed aswell today,

Glad I had the boy here to lend a hand made things easier 

 

[NOTAHO]

Come a wee way so bit of an update, up and running, lots of new parts going in 

New screen, hoodlining, 2.4 steering rack, nolathane front suspension, louvres, side windows arriving atm, all electrics or lack of is perfect now, 

Chipping away between taking it for hoons around the block 

 

[NOTAHO]

[NOTAHO]

Pulled the diff, LSD acquired for fun times,

Now I'm trying to figure out how to put it all together again properly, meshing correctly etc, never done this stuff before! Will be worth it if I get it right though 

 

[NOTAHO]

New leaf springs from UK arrived, single 146lb, will be interesting to see how they are 

[NOTAHO]

LSD and new bearings installed, meshing was perfect in the end, very happy with my first diff rebuild,

more parts to aquire now to keep going! 

[NOTAHO]

Few things sorted recently,

LSD diff assembled, new wheel bearings installed, superpro bushings everywhere, just acquired the gaz adjustable shocks and all together under the car again! Boy it bakes the tyres very easy

Onto the next puzzle piece now

[NOTAHO]

Tweaking wee bits, hooked up an electric fan for cooling, will weld in a thread for the temp sensor at work and just trying to renew all the brakes at the moment, hardlines done, awaiting braided hoses then see if I'll be buying new front calipers, man I hate doing brakes worst job in the world  

Should have side windows back in the next couple days and it'll at least look complete then 

[NOTAHO]

[NOTAHO]

Got the brakes working! Stoked, fronts seem a bit grabby but I haven't touched the front struts themselves so I'll look at them soon, been holding off for some capri front legs I haven't found any yet 

Boy it loves the liquid horsepower yeehaa

[NOTAHO]

Looking good with windows! 

Welded up a temp switch into housing put that in over the weekend 

[NOTAHO]

Bit of sunshine is good, finished the window fitting

Temp switch fitted and works well for the fan,

Currently looking into front calipers atm since they're grabbing a wee bit, free em up I'll be happy,

Really need to scrap these tyres unfortunately and find some new ones 

[NOTAHO]

Brakes working a treat now, 

Need to find some side mirrors and look at a new exhaust system as this ones knackered 

[NOTAHO]

New exhaust fitted, lots of ends being tidied up, been cruising around already but need a wof asap lol

Tyres should be nearly here from courier, seatbelts to aquire, then run it through for a check 

Almost ready for summer

 

[NOTAHO]

Looks good in B&W

[NOTAHO]

Christ shops wanting $50 per tyre to fit onto wheels now, I near fell over, ah well shop around

Trying to find some damn valve stem seals aswell

[NOTAHO]

Wheels fit better now, 

Need seatbelts and carpet for a wof I think, hopefully sorted soon 

[NOTAHO]

Been on holiday etc, damn life, 

Still need seatbelts and carpet to get legal, but have installed new front shocks and tinkered getting things better, but man I love cruising around in this thing, hardpark last weekend was fun too, what a beast! 

[NOTAHO]

How good! 

[NOTAHO]

Now to sort the carpet finally
