looks really well that mate

Very nice

Very tidy Sean, can't wait to see it with the wider arches and those 9" rims, the gearstick gaitor and trim looks just what I have been looking for, was it on the car when you bought it, or have you fitted that.

thanks and yep cant wait to get the arches on with the 235 on the rear should look good, man it up a bit

cheers
sean

that looks great, what wheels and tyres are you fitting to it?

Hi any idea who's parts bin the handbrake come's from ?

sean that looks tuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they the JK seats? They look a very good fit Did you make the side brackets yourself or is that the optional brackets they supply?

My gear lever gaiter looks the same and to answer the others yes looks like a universal stearing rack gaiter. Just fitted the second one to my Striker after the first finally gave up after 15+ years on the car

yes MKII escort

have you driven it yet sean? either before or after the mods. id be interested to know how it comparers to the indy's,mnr,s etc that youve had previously. i really like the look of the striker and would be interested if you were ever selling or in a swap deal of some sort, thanks

Answer too some questions above,


As said above the gear gaiter is a front steering rack item picked up at stoneleigh show, think they look ok ?

Seats are jk and they make them for the striker specifically and are very good, brackets not sure on I made these ones, but they may supply?

Handbrake perhaps ask Callum at raw as not sure where from,

Wheel well I have cater ham r500 wheels and these below on link,

Will be with slicks on that I have 235 rears and 200 fronts so 7.5 inch front wheels 9 " rears look awesome,

I havent driven the car yet so not sure on handling but I have some small chassis mods to do also before 1 st track day in July, also front spliter and rear diffuser to fit,

I hope to see on the rollers next week about 200 bhp so enough I think with the once 6 speed box,

Thanks for the comments I can't wait to get it on the track

Sean

Looks great, makes me a little more frustrated ive not done enough on mine in recent months!

As for the handbrake, the Raw ones are slightly different to the MK2 escort ones as the mounting flange is not bent.

Where was the tunnel top from ?

made it myself from Ali sheet then carbon wrapped it in 3m

I think raw do a grp version of it if that helps?

Sean

a blast from the past my old car

Cooling plumbing looks ideal should have no problems with air locks.

What kind of spec was this engine Indy? Did you have it built?

Venturing into the k-series world over the next few months with a new project.
