Try to see if I can do a few jobs on the Escort in preparation for a mini trackday at Silverstone. It has a few issues at the moment including :
No chargecooler pump fitted (it somehow keeps the temps relatively cool in town; the chargecooler still has coolant in the system.) Change 3 wheel bearings ; the front one is singing its head off. Maybe change the rear coilover spring hats for the correct items ; it has some Heath Robinson hats on there for the moment. See if I can cure the brake vibration. It is almost certainly down to the surface rust on the discs due to the new brakes sweeping onto rusty unbrake parts of the Wilwoods Change the breather hose going from the block to the oil separator. Give it a wash.
If that cannot be done it shall be a case of taking the Clio which is happening a little too much.

Almost did it, just got to modify an extra bit for the new indicators. As an added bonus I changed the coolant in the Rover (who I think has a water leak as there's no signs of OMGHGF but I'm loosing coolant somewhere) and sliced the end of my finger open by being a derp with a razor blade and some vinyl.
