One of my dads old mk2 escorts came up for sale ( prob only the registration ) so went for a look!
Looked ok from the outside but was fairly rough!
But it was cheap so ended up with it !

Was proper. Gp4 bda spec when he had it early 90's
Now it had standard xe 2.0 on carbs

 

Here he finished 2nd on the weldex 1991

 

That was us at Scottish rally 2012

 

awesome looking car and a family connection !. im sure your just the man to be pedaling it round a Forrest

 

Made 93 hp at the wheels. !

 

So decided that wasn't going to do !
Got a 280bhp xe 2.3 jenveys on mbe

When I took the engine out I decided to tidy up the engine bay
And also the bulkhead had been heavily modified which would mean I would need to apply for cat 2 papers from msa to continue ralling it!

 

 

Bet that new mechanic looking it the engine bay will sort it

 

 

Why don't you build a proper garage for sandblasting rather than that pokey shed lol

 

To save any hassle with msa I decided to replace bulk to standard position

 

Out door paint booth !
Not much dust floating about here

 

 

 

 

Nice to see you got another Project going Andrew

What rally do you plan on entering with this and who's your navigator going to be?

 

Corsa power steering. !

 

 

So we did the Scottish rally finished. 35th overall out just over 100

Car wasn't pulling the way it should and was jamming in 4 th gear !

Took it to AVA rolling road in Glasgow to get the mapping tidied up, goes much better now
Made 226bhp at the wheels around 260/270 at flywheel

So just the gearbox needed it sorted now. !

 

Phil Sandham , he navigated for my dad Also. !

Going on holiday at the end of the month so be rally next month possibly , none planned yet

 

Gearbox sorted. !












6speed tractive sequential. !

 

Also visited geartronics after national day and ended up with paddle shift for it !




Still waiting on the loom getting made for it

great looking engine bay that gearbox looks bloody expensive !

 

Absolutely superb.
Vids are not bad as well.

 

Proper car....

 

excellent car and mods.

 

Stunning mate how much was that gear box I love it

 

Very nice.

How does the fuel setup work ? reg in the boot, trying to work all that out !

 

Fairly common set up nowadays , fiesta st has reg in tank, focus st doesn't have one the pump speed alters with duty cycle, they have a rail pressure sensor also.
