Went along with my friend today to Maylum Motorsport to see how his mk2 escort is progressing. Looks pretty good so far. Took some pics.

 

looks very nice ,what motors going init? puddy

 

looking good

 

a 2.0ltr 16v Zetec is going in it. Was in it before as well but that was before we saw the light. The car orignally went to prepfab - never again!!! All the stuff in red oxide primer is what Maylum has done. There's still plenty to do, full FIA approved multi point roll cage, fire wall and rear axle to sort yet.

 

Lookin impressive

Why "never again" @ prefab ?

 

looks sweet, the tunnel looks on the piss from underneath though

 

That's what I thought but it's just the camera angle

Maylum Motorsport were building mk1 WRC escorts over 30 years ago when things like to world cup cross member didn't exist. Maylum make prepfab look like a bunch of amateurs.

 

ooooo....sexy!

(mental note - get out more!)

 

Mental car there, cant wait to see that up and runnin should be proper fast!!
