THE DIVA`S RWD ESCOS..(New Update 17.10.07BREAKING)
In an effort to get myself motivated and actually start building my Escos,i thought i might start a resto post so you can all abuse me and get my slack arse into gear..
So here she is,this is just after she arrived from a well known source in Scarborough..
This is Neil Callan`s old car(Carwise UK) and this is how she used to look when he had her
So far so good then...
Spec still aint finalised but for now she will be using my rebuilt A1 Rallysport motor(Nothing special,7.8:1cr,balanced,HP Pump etc etc) and will be running siemens injectors and either T4 or GT35 and a big plenum/cooler etc etc......
Also she is 2WD so should be mega fun..
All the running gear has been totally rebuilt and will be running polybushes,coilies,adj tca`s,Gp A mounts,330 AP fronts,300mm rears etc
Also managed to locate a couple of sets of 8x18 old style six spoke MO`s in Et15..(Nothing like having spares... )
Will have the usual safety stuff...Secs monitor,egt,afr etc to stop me blowing her up...
Heres a few more pics,will add more as i build her up....
Large empty hole hopefully to be full up soon....
MMMMMMMMM Nice........These are Sean Bicknell`s old ones..
Tidying the inside ready for trim..
Getting there,just needs a clean...
And in the cabin...
Sorting out the wiring mess...
Another pic of the raw product....
OOH look....some nice new goodies....
Thats enough for now,will sort some more pics out soon.....

Little update.........
Few more bits purchased....
Nice new Six paddle with uprated cover.......Should help with the knackered muscles in my left leg....
And some decent stoppers to counteract it.....
Hopefully these will keep the motor in place this time..
And this will quench it`s thirst....
The usual bling(obligatory)
More bling and heat stuff..
Some proper top mounts,now fitted with Goldman rose joints...
Simply the best conversion money can buy...
And something to keep an eye on it all.....
Will get some more updates sorted soon and maybe some pics of the actual car being worked on..

You will need to get a prop made as well mate,just involves shortening and re-balancing a 2WD prop,there are a few good companies able to do this,one of the better ones is Reco-Prop in Luton....

Some bits arrived....
Gonna make this thing handle if it kills me..
Gone for adjustable top mounts now,looks like Shorty just inherited some more bits...
And some more heat stuff......
Just waiting to sort out the bits of paintwork now so i can start building it up......
Think it may just be ready for Norway in July at this rate...
Maybe.......
