here we go............. i brought a 1.3 escort 2 do sumthin with last month & it just sat on my "unfinished" driveway! i tried selling the car for £90! but had no joy so its now a project car!
i have all rs turbo running gear wiv piper 285 t2 cam & high pressure oil pump fitted, superchip, 3ich mongoose stainless, & a bleedvalve laying about (all the mods u need for 180 bhp).
so ive decided 2 stick all the running gear onto the 1.3 4 speed gearbox & see what it does!
i have a 5 speed for when it goes BANG! but i want 2 see how well the 4 speed copes & how quick of the mark it is. (should be interesting)
MAN I GET BORED SUMTIMES!
heres a few pics or he car & what ive done in the few hrs i spent on it 2day.
