With the cold weather I’ve been working indoors, well in the conservatory! Bought some 17” focus mk1 wheels for the escort recently I’ve stripped them prepared sprayed and lacquered two of them and had tyres fitted back on, I need to do the other two and buy two more tyres, I’ve got a mobile welding guy coming to fit a passenger sill and do a tiny bit on the puma inner sill shortly weather permitting

So with life and the loss of my dear mum car stuff got pushed the back of priorities in the run up to Xmas But as I had 12 days off over the festive period and my dad going away for a well deserved break my wife knew I needed some stress relief time , so I got plenty of time on the puma New pads, discs new rear shocks , lowered springs all round A full underseal and various other bits done And a nice set of cosworth wheels purchased and fitted A small bit of welding to get done , new number plates to order and fit new droplinks, and an oil change and she should see her first mot for four years Just a few pics The escort is due up soon for some attention hopefully once I’ve got the puma motd

So it’s been a few weeks of looking at cars Some absolutely rotten, some ok but just not grabbing me And some sold before I could get to them Got a couple to look at this weekend The Jaguar just keeps doing what it does incredibly well for a car that everyone told me not to touch ! The cold weather has stopped me doing anything on the escort But hopefully I’ll get on with it soon

A bit of work done on the escort this week There’s some rot at the bottom of both front wings I ground the rot back and I’ve got some small holes ! Nothing too bad but it’s annoying the mudflaps caused this by just trapping mud and other debris The near side front wing has crazed paint So I’ll probably grey primer it and leave it I hate not seeing cars with primered panels , it used to be on most cars back in the day This car is just going to get tidied up a bit lower on some nice wheels, and that’s all my pal is going to weld a new sill on and repair the offside rear chassis rail for me I need to start chasing a few parts soon The daily driver Jaguar has developed slow sweeping wipers So I’ve stripped the wiper mechanism and I’m hoping a good clean and grease up may restore working order as some Jaguar forums have suggested
