mk3 escort zetec turbo, poss breaking, 23/10/11 gauging interest

rst in breaking · 08-10-2007, 11:05 PM

started life as a 1.1, i brought it for £200 around a year ago on s2 alloys with 47000 miles on the clock in very good condition, i was removing carpet etc looking for rust etc and is a very solid shell. sat in garage for a while till thieves tried their luck.
so i decided to convert it to run efi fiesta turbo management, ran ok for little while but melted piston or cracked ring or something on 4th cylinder going to ford fair so decided its a good time for a resto die to odd lil stone ding etc.

engine is not out and being stripped for respray, will get xrt_si to post pics as he took them on his phone whilst helping me.

here pic of my escort before it came off the road:

rst in breaking · 09-10-2007, 07:57 PM

cheers mate, its sitting on odd wheels due to the others being sold as i was having issues clearing the brakes, i decided i wanted big brakes behind the wheels so i mated st170 discs with alfa romeo brembos but couldnt clear them properly, so need to get comps. more pics to come still

danny_boy699 · 09-10-2007, 08:13 PM

what problems did u have with the brakes like mate

looks nice keep the updates coming

vroooom ptssssh · 09-10-2007, 08:40 PM

Looks good, love sunburst mk3s, i'd stick 16i kit on it

rst in breaking · 09-10-2007, 08:58 PM

1600i kit is going on it lol, along with top spots, and i have the hella square ones with the white covers for the bottom.

the problem i had with brakes was getting the inside of wheels to clear the calipers, "twins" has told me a 17x7.5j comp mo should clear? anyone got any? i wana spray them black if they are not?

danny_boy699 · 09-10-2007, 11:43 PM

XRT_si · 01-11-2007, 12:52 AM

Looking good paul, why dont you set up a photobucket site and host those pics properly?

Kams orion looks ok in those pics, should be good for 250bhp when done. Central day bet is mine boys, car is going to go on a major diet and a decent remap

rst in breaking · 01-11-2007, 12:59 AM

so u not running the rwd rust bucket? lol. alarm started being fitted today aswell so there is progress, just wish kamal would have posted up all them photos he said he would have, lazy fucker!!!

rst in breaking · 03-11-2007, 12:03 AM

a few pics of car going back together, ive been putting on bumpers, rear side windows and engine loom, pics taken in darkish conditions but is looking nice.

drives shafts cleaned and painted

alternator bracket and odds and sods etc shot blasted and sprayed up

painted steering rack

will have more progress 2moro

rst in breaking · 03-11-2007, 12:08 AM

im undecisive if i should keep the compomotives in the pics and get the powder coated, hopefully bonnet raisers and polybushes will arive 2mo so i can fit my rear disks, alarm was finished off being fitted 2nite along with central locking etc.

fezzajsy · 03-11-2007, 08:05 PM

looking good...keep it up
