I have a similar problem, I always wanted a Mk1 Mexico. I did manage to find a Mk2 Mexico and after 2 years of cutting welding and repainting, the car looks awesome, absolutely pristine inside and out. I have now run out of cash and the engine needs to be rebuilt. I have given up, I have covered over the car. People say I should have got it running first, but the car was stripped to its shell and dipped, so I had to get the engine bay painted anyway before reinstalling the motor, so it is the way I chose. I may end up getting some sort of loan against the car to pay for the engine and gearbox rebuild after the payments end on my daily runner.

I had exactly the same problem with them rubber gaskets on my Scorpio 4x4 turbo build. I went through 3-4 gaskets rubber ones , which kept splitting once torqued up 8-10nm , I finally found a good one from BGA Which was a stiffer rubber cork style , but was still very flexible and didn't sqwash much. and didn't split , if your having trouble later on , hopefully it holds for you but that might be an option later on. I know I'll be buying afew sets as mine is gonna leak again , as it's old!

I havnt done it yet but I know the Escort box doesn't have a self centre. The Puma linkage works with ib5 box and the self centre spring is inside the box. For this to work on the Escort you'll need a spring. I'll be getting a spring from an XR2 and I'll fit it inside of the black plastic housing of the Puma one
