Thanks for all your comments

Been to the paint shop tonight, my lord was it worth the wait

Rocker Cover went from looking like this

To this

My paint sprayer did it for me in the end with the Orange detailing

Vernier Pulleys were anodised red but have now been painted the same orange as well

Wing mirrors were Matt Black but have now been coated in paint to match the rest

And my Porn horn which has been on my last 3 cars hasnt escaped the spray gun either

Today we spent most of the day breaking down 2 gearboxes and rebuilding one out of them.
The RS1800 internals were picked as being better than the Escort GTi ones for better acceleration so both boxes were stripped down.

The RS1800 internals were swapped into the Escort bell housing meaning the starter motor could be located at the back of the bell housing allowing better clearance for my spangly manifold.

The Series 2 LSD was also fitted into it and tomorrow will be bolted to the engine ready to be dropped into the car

Engine was sat in the corner looking very glam and I nearly shot my bolt when it was uncovered

We also removed the fuel cell today to begin tidying up the pipe work and repaint the brackets as parts of it had to begun to rust

A quick picture of the car as it stands at the moment, not alot of difference from previous pictures of it but things are moving along quite quickly now
