Mk1 Escort - road/rally car...(new update 13/02/10)

Postby SHIFTY » Thu Jan 15, 2009 8:24 pm

Hi there folks, as some of you may know my mum n dad have aquired another mk1 escort...anyone who knows us...knows we are escort daft in this family...which aint a bad thing 8-) :lol: ....although it takes up alot of our spare time! :roll: :lol:
Maw n paw used to rally for 7yrs in the early seventies with mk1 escorts...thus how were right into mk1 and mk2's...
A few months ago they bought another mk1, which doesnt need alot of work doing, to get her up to our standards :D

The car was bought as a non runner :? cause she was that solid the engine wasnt important...although after a session with my oldskool da and timing sorted she burst into life and sounds sweet as a nut 8-)

Shes already got some good mods like being turreted, 6point Safety devices cage and the burton spec x flow..
Our plans are to fit various grp4 and rs parts, seam welding, big gearbox tunnel, skids, anti tramp bars, and so on :)

Anyways enough of the boring bit, heres the pics and a vid of me trying her out 8-)

The happy new owners :D :D :D
Image
Image
Image

Brings back soem memories eh dad! 8-) :lol:
Image
Image
Image
Image

Giving her a wee try...
Image
Image


My dad was working away on her over the weekend and removed the, engine n box, crossmember, front struts, diff etc and got her up on the spit ready for the fun to start! 8-)
Image
Image
Image

Will try keep any updates coming 8-)
