Just thought would say hello as I’m a newbie joined the forum this evening, had a few Rs turbos in the past, and also put together a series 1 years and years ago for a friend she then sold and it’s probably had a few different owners by now but it’s an usual car and deffo can’t be missed if it is still around, sadly I only have one pic of the car when we finished putting it back together, I won’t put the pic up yet but will do once have introduced my cossie to you lol so I currently have an escort cossie that I have owned since 2008, had me ups and downs with it but am in the process of getting her back on the road after being taken off to have work done on her went from a doing a cambelt change to then taking the engine out, pulling all the running gear off it replacing all the engine loom and more loom and more of fords old loom, to be fair had so many voltage drops and earth issues with the old loom just though sod it and done away with it. I have some pictures of the work that we done so far so will chuck a few pics up and also ask some questions that I bet people will be thinking omg not this question again lol. I’m not by any means an engineer or engine builder etc., I was shown about engines from my dad who was an engineer ( retired now ), that ended up with me getting a bit of weekend work many moons ago at a friend’s garage who then took me on full time where I done basic service work, clutches, cambelt replacements, then went onto timing chains and head gaskets, replacing valves and doing short engine work when having engines with big end knock getting the crank grind and checking journals and putting them back together ect. Anyway, I apologise now if I have bored anyone or if you got bored and closed the thread well sorry for that as well lol
Heres is a couple of pics of the cossie
