    Default Mk 1 Ford Escort Mexico....MK1....

    Totara and Pine, learn't a few lessons with this one, namely the wobbly wheel problem... seems no matter how hard I try, spent ages squaring up the drill press, used verniers when sanding and sizing the wheels, I just couldn't stop the off ballance and ended up having to sand vertical wheels down...now it looks like it has biscuits. Have made up a series of mock wheels with center spikes in them and will sight holes independantly from now on...at least that's the plan.

    If there is a problem with the wheels we can't tell from the images.


    They look great.
