Here are some photos of my mk2 I picked it up in essex off ebay about a year ago its a 1980 with 25,000 miles on the clock it had done about a thousand miles a year and had a service at ford every year, it had a fsh with the original sale receipt of the car from ford. Iv nearly finished putting a pinto 2 litre with fast road cam and the usual oil cooler etc. in just so i can have fun driving it again. It may not be the prettyist install and I know the first thing people are going to say"Why does the engine sit so high?" Well i didnt change the cross member yet, but it fits. The car has been built on a bit of a buget I got two pinto engines for nothing one came out of a 1953 Ford Pop, I dont thinks its bad for my first attemped. Be gentle

 

That looks like a lot of fun

 

is it quick. i thinking of putting a pinto in my escort cos it only a 1.3 but got offered a 1.6 xflow with all bits i need for Ł200. cant decide which engine 2 go for.

 

As good as a standard RS 2000 but a bit quicker low end due to the axel ratio

 

looks like ya engine is sitting a bit high and tilted to far back m8

 

I know I havent replaced the cross member, but its fine, the sumps been shortend along with the pic up and a oil cooler has been added to make up the volume and to help cooling and it pics up oil fine.

 

Aint been on here for a while this is wot it looks like now had it on the rollers made 130bhp not bad still lots I can do to the lump

 

Looks very good, old skool style.
Just watch the handling as it can be exciting in the wet with live back end, I had one briefly ex mod one, good load luggers though, well done.
