Sorry no more escort bit in this thread then.rory-ray wrote:You bore me mate! im around them constantly and I cant get enough of them.
Today I crimped new terminals on the eBay Indicators, changed a couple of dead bulbs and tried to get the car as ready for an Mot as I could. Dad washed and hovered the car out while I got on with welded bits on the escort.
Took the car for a drive around the fields and over the massive mount of straw and horse muck from the stables.
Only photo of the SJ I took.
Re: The " Goat Chaser"
Well I drove the SJ and the brakes pulled, so I took the rear drums off to fine a seized right rear wheel cylinder. And the rear shoes are fairly worn. So a bit more to do before it goes for a Mot.
Re: The " Goat Chaser"
Dependant on what you're intending on doing with the SJ i would recommend carrying out a rear disc conversion, I found rear shoes & cylinders wasn't cheap (£60 with garage discount!)Matt King wrote:Well I drove the SJ and the brakes pulled, so I took the rear drums off to fine a seized right rear wheel cylinder.

Rear discs don't require continual adjustment if you go through mud/water.
Re: The " Goat Chaser"
Well surprisingly it went through an Mot this morning. Now I will start tidying the thing up.
It needs a steering damper as its more like sailing than driving at the moment.
Thinking I might tub the arches so I can put the axle back underneath.
At least it will be usable for the snow!
