Nice to see someone doing something differant, way too much of simple samey sort of stuff being done at the mo, this looks a proper old school build, love it good luck with the progress mate

looking good and very different, what do these engines sound like do they have the "proper" v8 sound if you know what i mean, some more modern v8's can sound tame

I'm the type that's grown up with Pintos crossbows the normal stuff but I can't warrant paying 5grand on 200bhp and then it be unreliable so v8 is only option I sold my mk2 escort to do this. The v8 sound is still there there quite a narrow v8 so not as load as an oldskool but when you here it on full chat your no its a v8 no gay arches nothing like that I hate all that just low on some nice splits all original think Ingot wind the coilovers rite up put steels on for a while and leave it patina for the worn look cheers boys I'll be on it tomoz so I'll update then

Really cool project! Are the bellhousing adaptors going to be available? What clutch is being used?

jim_robson

The White rep was a nice solid shell, but this will be better looking like a base model.

Your mk2 escort was a cunt lol

SGALLYWAG

Yeah everything's off the shelf from nev at f1moto West Kingsdown. Yeah I no that's why I'm starting again I built that with second hand parts which didn't last long obviously are you wesleys pal then mate

jim_robson

Yes mate, i was there when you did the swap and came and dropped that diff off. The escort was good fun, but it caused some proper headaches when it went bang lol

SGALLYWAG

I've been speaking to the new owner he said he loves it better then his cossie. I grew to hate it after a while to be honest and just wanted to start again hence the 3dr

jim_robson

I drove it a couple of weeks back, just after I took the welded diff out for the fella who had it. It was good fun, but I coundnt put up with it on long journey

SGALLYWAG

Yeah it was built very stiff hahahaha pod was an ass ach literally lol
