I had the day off work today, so spent the day on the Escort, and it just got better and better as the day went on
I started the day by getting the 1600 bottom end back together.
Once that was done, I dropped the flywheel off to be machined ready for the new clutch.
Then spent the afternoon with Rod working on the gearbox.
We nearly finished making up the jig to weld the shifter in its new location.
We have basically set this jig up so that this conversion can be done with or without the need of the entire gearbox, but rather just the extension housing and shifter rod.
Now, for the moment we have all been waiting for (or at least i have ).....
IT'S IN COLOUR!
I haven't seen the car yet in the flesh. these are just photos that Mark has sent me.
The front still needs to be blacked out behind the grill.
