Default Got my Escort Cosworth today........yes !!!! PICS ADDED!



pic added, about time too.

Sorry about the size!!





Got a leather to put in too.





Have to figure out this new digicam.

Could not wait for tuesday or wednesday for the cheque to clear so had to go in the red a bit until then, worth it though.

Will post the pics saturday night and the spec.

Cannot sit here i have an escort cossie outside to drive,only had it 2 hours.

Just got in and had a bite to eat.

Cannot get the pics up as my camera is playing up but my mate is going to use his in the morning.

It goes o.k for a T4, not toooo bad as i first thought.

Got to sort the engine bay out and put a few of my bits on it.

Cannot believe the looks you get in it compared to the saff. .

Just got to get used to it for the Bedford track day, you don't see too many escorts drifting.

Good spotting Steve, 2 points.

The lad who owned it wanted a shorter lever, .

Is a pain in the arse!

the gear knob keeps coming off!!!

Will be putting my box in out of the saff as its a bit notchy too,so i can sort the stick problem out then.

Was a few bits needed doing to it but it was all disscused in the price!

tried that before!

Probably dropping the whole engine/box etc....as i have to change the box,i/c. , all the hoses, header tank,engine mounts(fit the uprated ones), rocker cover, give it a clean etc....

Will be easier i think doing it like that as i don't want to struggle under the car on the path doing the box again.

Won't take me long, i've had 3 cossies before,done it lots off times.
