Well after building my self a 7m x 6m garage i though it was about time i started a new project, plus with the XR2Turbo only having 2 seats it not a very child friendly place

Any way, here are the 2 escorts needed
Cabby




RST



The plan is to RWD Cossie the RST in the future, but 1st i need to sort the cabby out to make room.
The idea is to swap every thing from the RST to the Cabby
I started to stripe down the Cabby on Friday 11th and got to this point on Sunday afternoon



The only rust on the car apart from the bottom of the doors






Thats how it looked after the engine bay had a good clean

And the donar car









Spent a few hours on it since sunday, the engine and box are in alswell as the full RST loom and new Deflex engine mounts and a full set of bushes, Just needs plumbing in, and the brake lines sorted as i took the ABS system off.

 

Nice job there ,love the workshop

 

looks good mate well done!

 

Looks sweet mate and i love that colour on the cabby

One thing though, Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeee sell me a pair of spot light brackets

 

No prob's mate, spot lights are defo staying off. PM me.

 

looks like a nice project mate keep the work up

 

Just a small up date, Got the car running on Sunday on the XR3i fuel pump, Then realised it had an intank pump plus the original EFi engine is going in my mate 1.3L so he needs the tank and the wiring. Then whilst taking the tank off i noticed that the Cabby did'nt have a rear anti roll bar and the drums where a lot smaller . So every thing from the back end of the RST had to be removed and refitted to the Cabby. At the same time all the rear bushes are being replaced. I'll have more pic's towards the end of the week.

 

Looks a real good project fela- why is it they always rust in those spots, mine was the same?? Thats gud goin in such a short space o time,keep up the good work!!

 

cabby looks clean. should go efi as you have all the bits there, nice garage

 

Yer, i know what you mean, but i had a complete RST, plus it would have ment spending money i don't have at the moment on ECU, wiring loom, chip to run T3, EFi to MFI spacer and having to drill the block for the crank/flywheel sensor.

 

nice work mate....

ps i gotta FL06 too,,,
