Cheers, Its returning slowly ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Sharing Barn and House with Phoenixescort certainly helps with Motivation ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D He`d give Nightmares or Racer86 a run for their money in speed of work ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) ;D So you could say I`ve been shamed into doing something on it ;D

Oh and a little look at Garys OCD - you cant even see this section as its all covered by a false floor/pedalbox arrangement ![](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/cr500dom/Kadett/Floordetail.jpg) Ok you can't see it, but you (and Gary obviously) know it's done properly and neatly. How many people would have just jammed a couple of bits of angle iron under there cos, well, you can't see it, can you?! Glad to see mojo returning, keep the updates coming!

Mechanic's rule #1... If the car works, anything left on the floor after you finished wasn't needed in the first place ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Damn straight theres no way I'll let him forget, except it might be a bit hard to tell him off for not working on it when I'm in Germany for the next 3-6months ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I'm sure we'll be badgering him from the t'interweb too! ;D
Was worried this was heading for saledom and never-finished-but-passed-from-oner-to-owner land..... glad to see you're back on track.

Well look what Andy and I chucked in the back of the van last night ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/cr500dom/Barn_Lathe1.jpg) ![](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/cr500dom/Barn_Lathe2.jpg) We saw it at work when borrowing the trailer to Move the Escort ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Andy made some enquiries and the answer was if you can transport it then you can take it away ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Looked like it had no Cross slide and no Chuck, but when we went to load it up they were all in the tool cupboard ;D ;D Cant beat Free Machine tools ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D More of last nights efforts pics to follow..... Big thanks to Andy (Phoenixescort) again ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Well after fitting the seat in the car and sitting in it..... My nice new pedal arrangement doesnt work even with my Short Legs So we looked at it for a while, (II swore a lot ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) ) tried a few different Ideas and came up with some possible solutions and some very trick solutions ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) and then left it alone and carried on Stripping ![](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/cr500dom/Kadett/Bay5.jpg) ![](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/cr500dom/Kadett/Bay6.jpg) ![](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/cr500dom/Kadett/Bay7.jpg) ![](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/cr500dom/Kadett/Bay8.jpg) All in all with painting the barn, winning a Lathe, Getting Andys escort transported, Kadett engine out and bay stripped, its been a rather productive couple of weeks all in ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D Big thanks to Andy and another shout out to Charlatan1 who is lending me back the pedalbox I sold him ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) to see if I can make that solution work with the curent floor arrangement ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) Watch this space ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ;D

Just a random thought - how easy do you think it would be to replace the front top mounts with something 'proper' (ie adjustable...Like the Escort fanboys get ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ). *n
