Default My WRC look Escort re-build -----> Cage ready 11.09.

hi guys and girls, here we go...

At first, it cost me hours to wrote this topic because of my bad english so b nice

BIG THX TO GUIDO FROM http://ellmer-autosport.de/ for his superb knowledge, best prices and the quality work he has done on my cossie!!!!!!!!!

It began in may 2005, my front left drive shaft broke and i called guido what to do. He advised me to buy a new engine (not really, he sad: we can convert it to rwd but i have an interesting engine for you). i discussed it with him and after a sleepless night i called him back and said YES let`s do it

So the journey began:

first i had to travel 650km to Guido



horrible hours, because it was my first drive with a trailer, never again!!


the man of the outstanding work with my babe




some damage on my drive shaft





few pictures of the old engine





something is missing/ready for the "new" one




after a "little" work




T4 with 360 bearing, greys, 7,4:1, RS500 cylinder head and the usual stuff


love these pics





gearbox in (standart T5)




exhaust build









new intercooler and air filter



my beloved 6 pot's






rear brakes



new fuel pump



the times goes on, so birthday greets to Guido (i know "birthday" is written wrong, but it wasn't me )







and finally ready:




It tooks nearly one year till it was ready because i had to work hard for my money
Got it back in april this year and drove it nearly 10000km without any problems

So i say it again, thx for your more than outstanding work Guido

Next plans: ZOO rear beam, pectel monitor, adj. tca's, sort out a few electrical problems... (i can hear guido rubbish his hands )

Hope you enjoyed the little "story", to be continued after this winter...
