Hi Matt The heater bubble is riveted so if i ever need to take it off it wont be to difficult. The replacement panel i think was around $160 to $180 from memory, and yeah the camera that i have been using so far has just been the one in my phone so its about time i upgraded that. I'm located in Mornington. Have you made a thread for your car yet? i wouldn't mind seeing some pics of it.
Matt i like your car its pretty clean and straight, is there any rust in the floors or C pillars and have you had any problems with the heater box leaking? and sounds good whenever your around feel free to drop in.

No rust in floors but a lot under the heater bubble. Bit scared to look to be honest. It leaks a bit but I haven't had it outside since I bought it back in November.
How did you go about removing the bubble? Did you just drill out the spot welds?
MK1_Oz i suppose you get what you pay for and i guess you got something pretty good quality.
Matt when i pulled the heater bubble of we just drilled the spot welds the used a chisel to separate it. If your scared now just wait till your looking through a massive hole in the firewall where you have cut the rust out, it seems like a bigger job than it really is.
My new steering wheel.
Dummy fit of new manifold and carbie still need to clean it up.
The carbie is off a 2ltr so does anyone know if i will have to rejet it to suit the 1.6ltr?
Matt if you use one of the repair panels from Twin Cam Services then the job is easier (providing they are a reasonable fit of course). I did mine using flat sheet so took a little longer. Nothing like cutting large holes in your pride and joy Take your time and have fun!!!
I figure for what it'll cost me to get someone else to do it I can buy all the required tools and then I'll have them forever. Even if I screw it up a few times it should still work out cheaper.
Not much on the escort but i finally got another engine for my other car. im doing the engine conversion this weekend so after that all my attention will be back on the escort, the engine conversion im doing is a 1989 1.6ltr Suzuki Vitara engine into a 1992 Suzuki Sierra. My Sierra is already running this type of engine but its blown a head gasket and is in pretty bad condition so i managed to get a hold of the vitara for $300 which is cheaper than i could rebuild the engine i already had. iv had this car for about 4 years now so im hanging to get it done so i can drive it and its about time it worked.
Iv still got to mount the heater box, put the interior back together and iv got some front springs to throw in as well so there is still a bit to do and then just clean it up and make it look nice.
