Here's a front spindle. Nice work. Cast and machined aluminium with induction heat treated steel spindle bolt. I like it already.

Here's another view. Those straps are there to keep the washers in place so you don't mix up which one goes where.

Hood with air duct for EFI injection. Needed if you're using an Escort 1.8 engine with it's intake manifold that sits quite high. Even if I wasn't going with that engine, I still kinda like the way that looks.
