[GazzaMicra]

Thanks alot , they like to be put on a diet! Didnt get much done in the last week , hoping to have the inside finished this week. Will keep ye posted thanks for all the interest!

 

[GazzaMicra]

Got the inside and the rollcage painted , seat and harness fitted and the boot welded on. Still have to spray the inside of the doors and boot though

 

[Scott.c]

Good progress so far, im liking it

 

[Noddie]

Looking really good!!
Any idea of weight so far?

 

[GazzaMicra]

Thanks alot guys... When everything is finished hopefully this week I will get it weighed.

 

[JoeK11]

Looks great the colour really suits it with the white wheels on! Will be interesting to see the weight, they're pretty light already!

 

[Shamalam]

I wish I had the time and know how to do this.

 

[GazzaMicra]

Looks great the colour really suits it with the white wheels on! Will be interesting to see the weight, they're pretty light already!

Thanks very much yeah should be pretty light , theres alot of weight in the rollcage though!

 

[GazzaMicra]

I wish I had the time and know how to do this.

Some time maybe , the cage is probabley the most trickiest thing to do.

 

[Woody]

I spy a black mk2 escort!

 

[CraigIC]

I spy a black mk2 escort!

And a mk1 fezzy <3

 

[markbognor]

I was thinking to myself, "that's quite clearly a Mk3 Escort", then I scrolled a bit further back up.

 

[GazzaMicra]

Yeah youre all right! There is a mk3 aswell mark nearly finished the micra , only a few more bits and bobs to do wiring etc and will get it weighed shortly.. Will have more pictures up later .. Thanks for the interest!

 

[GazzaMicra]

Car is now finished! Apart from getting it weighed and stickers which didnt come in time for racing... Was supposed to race it last sunday but unfortunatley it was cancelled on the day due to bad weather! hope to have more pictures up when the stickers arrive and hopefully have it weighed

 

[GazzaMicra]

 

[Scott.c]

Cool

 

[reflexuk]

Get that spoiler off - high weight for no benefit!!

 

[GazzaMicra]

Yeah true!
