Default my escort mk2 now sold :-(

ive had this a couple of months now i got it with the intention of putting a yb in it but i thought i got a few yb'd cars now so i thought ide keep it old skool it already has a 2.1 pinto in there but on a single 3.0 capri carb and capri recaro seats










ive had a few bits on order a quaife atb lsd a set of twin webber 45's and got some sparco bucket seats from the autosport show just been so busy at work i had a few hours 2day while the misses was out so i got the escort out of the garage and took it to work



out you come had these buckets in temp as they where free but they just wernt big enough for me



new sparcos







new twin 45's it needs a set up now but you can sure feel the difference just need the quaife going in when i get some more time

be a lot cheaper to go turbo than N/A Geoff, costs way to much to get a cosworth engine n/a.
