The first thing to be done was to scrap all the original running gear and start again.
I changed the steering to rack and pinion set up, the front crossmember is a mk1 escort item,2.8i capri bilstein gas struts with vented disks and 4 pot calipers.
Also fitted were offset top mounts and adjustable tca's to get the camber back in.
The rear axle is Mk1 3 ltr capri with 3 inch lowering blocks welded directly to it,The original diff has been replaced with an lsd out of a 2.8i axle.The axle is narrowed half inch either side, as there is 1/2 an inch of spare spline on the halfshaft you can just cut off 1/2 an inch off the end and refit after shortening the casing.  The leaf springs are 2.8i single leaf items, bushes allround are polyurathane items. The drums have gone and been replaced by disks now.
Rear disk setup
Both the clutch and brake master cylinders have been relocated under the dash using a reversed pedal assembly, the bore size of the brake master cylinder has been increased from .625 to .75 to compensate for the calipers on the back.
