Got really busy stripping it today, not much more to come off now just fuel tank and going to whip engine out to check it all over





on the subject of the engine found todat head is ported, got 6 long studs ,and has had cams replaced





going to have the porting tided up a bit as not the cleanest job i have ever seen and get it all checked over.........its like christmas though cant wait to get the head off the see what pistons are in it

 

Looks a good project mate. Is it staying red? If you fancy a change do it Moondust!

 

moondust or moon stone

 

Youv got your work cut out for you with this one mate.

Will be awsome when finished tho

Looking forward to the updates on it

 

Nice 1!

 

good luck with this fella looks like a good challenge

 

Interesting project - good luck!

 

Did you buy this from Aylesbury?

 

 

good luck mate, great project ..........keep it red

 

No why, is there another scrapper down there for me to sqeaze onto my drive

 

i was tempted with this one...would have taken me forever to build it on my driveway !!!

good luck with it

 

good luck mate, got some work going on there though i wish i had the time

 

looks a good one mate i saw this on the bay aswell, good luck with it

 

No way im building it on my drive Need to find somewere to stash my baby for a couple of months whilst i get this done

The garage looks like a cossie breakers at the moment

 

There was a red Escos opposite my mates house in Aylesbury in bits like this one also on ebay

Thought it may have been the car, Sold now though

 

what i would like to know is who would let an escos get into that condition in the first place???

Looks like a good project though

 

i know it makes you sick don't it, if all were in the same frame of mind as the likes of us

 

I would love a project cosworth like that. Now my nova is done it might make way for something along these lines. Good luck with it

 

Its a harsh reality that these cars are now just 13 year old and when you look at new cars not rearly that expensive, you would love to hear the comments from some of my none car loving mates to some people a car rearly is just a car

Lovin the fact another 1s being saved, But please tell me ur gettin rid of that horrid sticker

 

If there is one good thing about the car being in that state at least you know exactly what your getting ... ie body kit/trim is off so you can see all of the shell ... no where to hide dodgy repairs or rust heh

escossie I love the idea of a neat (realiable ?) daily driver ... with a beast in the garage Your missus is v lucky

Good luck with it all ...

 

looks awesome good news about the engine!

 

how do they get in that state !!!, look forward to the updates
