Doc's KE20: - really coming together now

[projectrollas]

woo that looks sexy as hell!!

[The Doctor]

Slowly, but steadily i'm getting there!



rallydesign coilovers (waaaay cheaper then T3) for an Escort MK1.
Tokico HTS and shorted struts.
4kg/mm and 6kg/mm springs to play with the settings

For the rear i have 50mm loweringblocks, so now i 'only' have to remove the rear axle, refurbish it, repaint, put PU bushings in there and put it back on

You can still use that axle of yours that's still lying at my place, will allow you to keep the car rolling too.

[The Doctor]

yeah, i still got to pick it up

[The Doctor]

modified 3 speedoclusters into 1 good one!



Looks OEM, works like a treat!
i 'won' 40km/h on the speedo

[robokill]

how are the arches cumming along ?

[The Doctor]

i sold them, because i want better fitting items (i was too cheap, and bought rubbish replica's). But just now the stupid Yen rises and stuff from japan gets VERY expensive

[banpei]

I think the speedo looks amazing!! You're in the dangerzone above 150!!
I know about the Yen prices!

[The Doctor]

luckily they are rising a bit, but last week it was terrible, 115!!

[The Doctor]

Did quite alot lately! ;D

Painted the rear axle with hammerite:



And the complete front axle is removed.



Stock bushings = gone (not bad, after only 34 year )
luckily i have new polybushes for the whole suspension.




Subframe removed, so i can bolt the new subframe in soon (yep, it's a mess with wiring under the bonnet )



This is how i left it today:



Parts to overhaul, fit to short stroke housings etc. etc.:
