Okay think its about time I showed you my pride and joy, this is my Escort Estate my first ever car and project
.
Done lots of restoration to the old girl when I got it and that was 8 years ago
ive basically just got it the way I want it.
But you probably know yourself that a car is never finished lol.
Pics.
This was last year going to Classic Ford

After cracking my manifold due to being so low and the shit roads around my area I went for the 15's, best thing I ever done it rides great now.


Okay so your probably thinking what engine has it got ??, well its a pinto that took me about four years to build geting the parts etc.
Full Cosworth bottom end with EFI system and mf2 module for the extra injectors at 10psi. now has a t34 turbotechnics.
It was a pig to setup but nearly the way I want it lol.

Hope you like it, I can't tell you how many hours poured into this car lol. thanks for looking.

Much respect as a first car this is exceptionally well done.

Because I had it setup on 13's I had to raise the back up a little, also got the front and rear arch lips tucked in as they started to rub.
Have done loads more work to this since those pictures, running cossie management stage 2. just rebuilding head etc.
will post some pics up.

Had the head checked whilst it was apart, turns out I needed it skimmed.
Removed valves and replaced stem seals, exhaust valves pitted bad on seats.
Fitted new valves and put all back together.
Was a pig to setup, had troubles with the chip in ecu. Idles about right, only on low psi for now.
Just need road tax
