ONTO THE X-MEMBER, I HAVE USED A PIECE OF 40MM X 40MM ANGLE AND TRIMED DOWN ONE SIDE TO 1 INCH, THIS WAY I CAN PICK UP ONE OF THE HOLES THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE CHASSIS RAILS FOR MOUNTING IT, THEN WELDED IT UP ONCE I HAD IT SET NOW BOLTED IN STARTED TO MOCK THE FRONT SUSPENSION UP NOW A NEW BIT OF BOX SECTION AND PLATES SO I CAN MOUNT THE ANTI ROLL BAR BRACKETS TO IT IT'S THIS POINT I FOUND I HAVN'T ANY CLAMPS, SO UNTILL I GET SOME, CAN'T DO NO MORE HERE. SO ON TO THE REAR END TACKED THE 4 BAR BRACKETS TO THE AXLE NOW I CAN MOUNT IT SO I CAN SORT OUT THE PANHARD ROD BRACKET ON FOR THIS END HAVING TO MAKE ONE FOR THE OTHER END AS THE ESCORT ONE THAT CAME WITH THE PANHARD ROD KIT WAS NO GOOD FOR THE POP CLAMPED IN POSTION ON THE CHASSIS NOW I CAN SEE IF EVERYTHING IS OK BEFORE FULLY WELDING. LIKE MOST PROJECTS THINGS CHANGE, NOW I'M CONSIDERING AIR BAGS SO IF I DO I'LL STILL HAVE TO MAKE THE MODS LIKE THE DIFF HITS THE FLOOR SO THAT WILL HAVE TO COME OUT AND THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD ROUGHLY LOOK LIKE SLAMMED ALTHOUGH IT WILL GO LOWER WHEN I CUT THE BOOT FLOOR OUT SO THE DIFF DON'T HIT AND THIS THE RIDE HEIGHT
