Hey there,
Have just embarked on a cosworth install on my Mk1 escort and found Passionford, though Id say hello and share a few pictures of the car



It is a race only car utilising not many original ford parts bar shell, front struts and steering column.
I Am originally Australian but currently reside in London and am building a 200 block and 4wd headed Yb with t34 or t35 turbo. I am collecting parts and looking for a machinist in and around the london area who can do the basic machinging for a freshen up plus long studding the block.
I look forward to chatting away.
cheers,
Justin P

 

I like that get pics of the engine conversion up

 

Car looks like it is in Aus? Are you in London buying bits to take back to fit to the car? Sounds like a plan!

Fantastic Escort.



Charlie

 

Very nice if ya get stuck put some pictures up its an easy conversion

 

Yeah its in Australia, awaiting my return with the cossie motor. Thought while I was posted here I might as well take advantage of locals knowledge of the 'twin cam turbo pinto'. Looking for smaller parts, sensors, manifolds and a machinist in and around london.
Thanks for the comments,

Justin P

nice one mate just starting another one myself lol,well the shell is all done and the fab just bits and bobs to do,what you using it for just street? or strip/track etc

 

Just a pure race circuit car mate. Too far gone to ever be suitable onthe raod. Couldnt afford the tyres, only last 500KM's as it is.

Cheers for the comments.
