track and road car zvh turbo.

My escort will be going on a diet and a new engine. Got some ideas for the engine but will be a slow build, due to the wife wanting a family holiday in spain. Poor car!!!! While the engine is being built I will work on other areas in the car. Got a lot of ideas and different methods of

doing things. So enjoy this slow build.

Good luck with your build, if i can find some pics i will put them on here, thats when i learn how to do that.

In car battery case. New header tank will be relocated to old battery tray. 6 speed st170 gearbox but dont know if i can be arsed with it because of all the mounting that is involved and welding the gearbox mounts, so probably going to flog it. Cheap, hint
