Thanx very much will keep u posted and yes will c u at ford fair will be good to have to mk5 's together

Ok thanx didn't think of that but makes perfect sense rear will be perfect then pair of bearings , pair of shoes ,pair of cylinders do u think they will stock it for a car this old last year they was unable to help me on a fuel pipe I will give them a go fingers crossed

Unfortantley the o/s/ r wheel bearing failed on my mk 5 Saturday night on the a1m and had to be recovered on a low loader not a good experience thank god I have rac cover a mechanic as just looked at it and said it needs a new stub axle he seems to think I will have trouble getting a brand new one any one else had any problems getting one then just to top it all of he then tells me the bearing on the other side as gone plus brake cylinder so not a good week on the plus side if I get the bits she will be done for the aux bridge show

Thanx will give them a go certainly won't be useing Adrian flux again

Thanx will give them a go once I have established which immobisler has been fitted in the past under last ownership as a few company's keep asking me

I know this question as probley been asked loads of times before but can any one recomend any good insurance company's that are in no way related to Adrian flux as they have given me nothing but grief and I don't intend useing them again if I can help it thanx mark

It's getting there mate will text u soon when me and dad can pop over again would be nice to see it finished this year

15 inch not sure of stud size will take a look after £30 for it removed from our mk5 live in Stevenage herts I know alloy wheel courier company's generally about £17 hope this helps thanx mark

I have got one good si alloy with tyre any one intrested

These are like hens teeth if the rubber is in good shape and only problem is it lifting up take it of clean the car and the rubber and stick back on with windscreen sealer it worked for us have heard it of other people as well good luck

My plans have changed so if any one interested in buying my ticket let me know thanx mark

Fantastic pictures as always nice one ollie yes was a great weekend like nick said can't wait for the next one hey nick the ka may be a bit quicker buy the next one

Best thing may be to do is just type mk6 escort on ebay then u will see what styles are avaiable and there's plenty of pictures on ours we had mk 6 si alloys when we brought her then changed to rs soft line alloys thing that is the correct name I would show u a picture but don't no how to if u look a few show pictures that may give u an idea as well good luck what ever u decide

Looks very nice a fantastic replacement great colour

Speak to all blue I am 98 % his is the same colour he will help you out he is a nice guy as well

Same as that as well got my rears from ford as for hood rubber clean it up and stick it back on with sealer with ours we sealed it one person held the rubber on whilst the other carefully and slowly raised the roof this held it in place till dry 2 years on still no trouble good luck

Looks good mate didn't recognise it only seen handfull of times was half expecting to see the fiesta

Got any pictures of yours on show mate

I think we should try swapping the whole roof and mech from the mk6 to the mk5 then if that works then fit a new roof to that mech it don't take that many bolts to swap over then it answers the question then if it works then we can refit the rear trim

You getting the bonnet and bumper painted or are they just stored out the way

It's looking good dad as added so many electrical extras to ours must of added a couple miles of extra cables to ours lol

Lol Ian problem sorted now dad wired in a switch so can switch it on and of now

Last couple of times took the old girl out with roof down got a high pitch whistle with wind deflector fitted and with out found out with radio of ( aerial down) the noise stops just fitted a new stereo with Bluetooth turns out old stereo had facilty to turn electric aerial of new one deos not so.going to wire in a seperate switch to turn it of and on don't use radio mostly CDs it's the old man that likes the radio

Can't beat the look of a good mohair roof I agree dark blue as well will really set it of

You have done amazeing job with the work done and the pictures taken I was under the impression you was a mechanic by trade makes this one extra special since you learnt all that along the way
