quite excited about it.
my first "quick" escort i bought in 1989 when i was 19 was a flat front x-pack in primer with a 2.0 pinto in it!





of course its miles away
im hoping to have some fun on track with it.

 

Pics are a bit small jay, i dont no it but im a great fan of them anyway, try to resize them mate so i can drule over them better

 

I was watching that on ebay it looks hard as nails, nice one
I think the owner was being a little optimistic with the "190+ bhp on twin 40's though"

 

dont know how to do it!

its got a 2.1 pinto-apparently decent spec-45's,coilovers,9"wheels,carbon bonnet,caged,lsd,5 speed,quick rack

recons its 190+bhp! cant see it myself

may need a cossie in it!

 

Nice, But yeah ... Cossie it

Here are the pics that were on ebay, don't know why they have come up as links though

 

tidy car

 

looks nice matey we built a mk2 a while ago bought a 2.1 pinto got it on the rollers and it ran 181 bhp on 45s the operator said with the rev limit raised and a bit of fiddleing we could squese 190 195 ish but we left it at 181 so it dont blow up straight away

 

45's and 2.1? Should be 190ish depending on cam i reckon.

I love mk1 and mk2's. Im looking to get another mk1 soon.

 

a 2.1 on 45's will make 190 bhp! my mate's is 201 bhp on split 48's

 

looks lovely mate don't forget to get some decent pics up when you get it

 

Damn aint it amazing.. i bumped into this had 5 hours left or such & thought why aint there no fucking bids!

Specially the very low start bid

 

im hoping he is going to stand on selling it as he ideally wanted over 5k for it.i asked him wether it was sold regardless of final price and he said it has to go,but he hasnt replied to my emails yet-fingers crossed

 

how much did it sell for jay?

 

got a link to the auction?

 

What...the link to show him selling it before he's got it

 

add the image tags and they will show

 

there is no plan to sell this on!(i know i say it about a lot of cars!).seems like a good fun car,imagine it with diagonal blue rs stripes like on the moorland classics x pack escort and some nice advertising stickers on it-you may be busy paul!

the guy has contacted me and i do own it.well once i have paid him.was going to collect it today but a certain football match has put a stop to that-they had better win!

 

£20 say you sell it thou

 

Nice looking fun motor, well done

 

cheap
