I need mk 1 escort some help, please.
Hi,
I owned a mk1 Escort years ago and loved it, I decided to buy one to and get it on the road.
Someone has sort of started putting a pinto& type 9 into her, she got to me with 2 bolts holding the engine and gearbox in. Bit of a mess really.
What i have decided to do firstly is get it all mounted in properly, but have come across a problem. The hole that the previous owner has hacked ( with a spoon) in the floor where the gear lever sits means the gearlever hits the handbrake, 2nd or 4th are un-selectable. Does this mean the wrong mounts have been used? the cylinder head is only just off the bulkhead.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I will post some pictures of this later today.
Thanks, Matt
