Hi my names glyn I am new here as you will gather.

Thought I would start a post of my project my escort rst
I’ve had this car for over five years now I ve had at least 3 years of enjoyment and 2 on and off trying to get it back on the road .

My first plan was to just have a nice road car with a nice usable engine brakes and suspension but as all ways it snow balls out of control.

The engine was tapping a bit so did an oil change and while I was doing that thought best to change the hydraulic tappets which helped quiten it down ,I found later it would have been a good idea to change the cam as well.

My First modifications was the suspension the front wasn’t too bad while the back was totally gone, so a full set of spax top adjust adjustable dampers and lowered springs made a big difference .

I had a set of Hi-Spec four pot calipers 310mm discs with ebc green stuff pads from my last project a escort van so they went on a few weeks later which made a real difference to the car.

I fitted some new ignition leads and spark plugs new rotor arm and dizzy cap this helped make the car feel a bit fresher.

The car all ready had a k&n induction kit and a bailey dump valve, I already had a set of samco water pipes from my other project and a grs alloy radiator so spent a day changing them over and a set of samco boost pipes.

al get some pics on soon
