Kev, the legend, has made me some calliper brackets. Now the rear brakes will work,

Shafts

Roll bar

Drilled the holes for the IVA bar. RAC bar to be fitted post IVA.

Wiring ZzzzZzzz

Boring stuff last night.
Wired up the fog and reverse and had my own private disco turning all the lights on and off.
Only the number plate light left :-)

Apart from a tank it's ready to run I think. Finished the last of the plumbing. Just need a core plug to seal of what was the heater pipework.

Eyes

It can see now :-)

Fanbelt and shafts

Got a fan belt fitted, 1355mm for the record (or rather for me when I need a new one).
Had a right load of fun getting custom shafts for the Tripode rear drive shafts. In the end was recommended Stanwood engineering in Doncaster. Jonny was a top bloke and I have posted him off a sample for him to manufacture new ones from as a template. Result.

Started riveting the body

Bit more work

Done a bit more to the dash and figured out how to do the plumbing.

More wiring.... (boring) and slapped the bodywork back on

Ooops, think the bench needs a tidy

More wiring

I love it :-S

Mock up for the indicator stalk

Engine in

Wiring

Boring stuff done this weekend. ECU loom, lots of concectors, marking out the exhaust exit. Still it all has to be done and it's not too boring, Honest :-)

Bodywork

Bit more work done on the rear panel.

Nose trial fit

Bit more work. Relieved the scuttle to go over the column and loom and strengthened the rear tub where it had started to crack near the side panel joints.

Lots more  to do though

Bodywork Delivery

Got the body work now. Happy days

On it's feet

Four wheels on my wagon

Superstar Al

Had a good day at Alan's on the lathe and welder. Turned down the Alternator pulley to line up with the other pulleys and turned down the Sierra hubs to get the Escort discs over them. Just need to get some ally blocks made up to mount the rear callipers.

Alan also modified the brake pedal to fit a mechanical brake light switch. I hate those hydraulic ones after mine and Kev's went pop :-S

Engine trial fit

Mock up engine is in to see where everything fits, or doesn't.

Slippy

Quaife slipper for the Sierra Diff.

Bits go on

Rear suspension and the rear brake line clipped up
