Hi all new to here just bought a new toy was just wondering if anyone on here might know of any history of this car the only thing for id it has is a service shell tags not sure if its been involved in rallycross at some point in its life

many thanks stu

 

Cool car. Have you got anymore pics.

 

Right well the plans are to get it on the road with a 20xe with type 9 ford 5 speed box its set up for mk2 escort running gear atlas axle set up at the rear with 5 link set up its got a massive tunnel and mainly fibreglass front wings bonnet front panel rear panel and boot lid

 

What a shed!

 

 

ello you i was waiting for your comment many thanks pal

 

That is epic! Where did you find that?

 

it was found by a mate of mine for sale on another forum and it was only round the corner from me and ive always wanted a rwd escort sideways is the only way baby

 

You're too for rwd!

 

careful posting you have it with no ID on here mind, the nuns that use this site will have a propper fuckin wobble at you !!

AMAZING mk3 mind matey, best arches and livery

this bastard needs LOTS of carb/TB 9000rpm+ induction noise

love it

 

nice find mate

 

i was interested in this when it was up for sale but was stuck for space, it oozes potential, it still had a 2.8i engine in it then. can i be a nosey cunt and ask what you paid for it mate ??

 

Please don't do that...please?

 

some pics off the other forum, personally i think it needs a 2.8i capri donor car raped of all its transmission...

Those arches wide enough looks awesome.

The xe is an awesome engine Should definitely go with that

 

one of my old ones

 

Agreed but Ford make awesome engines too

 

thanks for your replys and the extra pics from another forum are interesting its just as i bought it it did have a 2.8i with a 4x4 box in it when i got it but that was not my fav choice of engines to run with...the engine choice was hard i did want to keep with the ford theme but i got a great deal from a good mate that had just broke one of his rwd astra rally car and i bought most of his bits and the xe was in the deal i have got i would say i have bought about 90% of all my parts now ive been busy stripping the underside and repainting ready for the build to start this weekend i hope to have the front end back together this weekend then next week my son is wiring the car while i build up the rear 5 link axle to fit then big plan is to have it ready for an inspection before christmas as they are shutting my local dvla centre where you can get car checked over ready for road use and get it road registered so then dead line is on

cheers stu

 

This will be an awesome car. Crack on Stuart we need to see more pics

 

ello just some more pics of the huge tunnel i have to play with and its rear turrets also some bits came today for my rear axle the front end is the biggest issue as with fitting headlights and indicators as all the panels at the front are fibreglass also the wings are really really wide so the indicators are just not fitting at all(i didnt think they would) and not even looking like they belong with the car lol

 

stuart heres a link for the ebay ad when it was on there a couple of months ago, there's a couple more different pics on it regret not buying it now tbh even if i did have no room

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk3-escort...c#ht_424wt_958

 

thanks a lot for the link i had been searching for a long time for a rwd mk3 escort i was almost going to buy another one which was on ebay at the time a bare shell in primer but i bought this one as it was a lot closer to home
got a busy week next week hopefully will be nearly rolling by next weekend then i need to book her in at the paint shop for a coat of diamond white to start me off with

 

Black top on mfi, cool lol

 

v6 cossie lump with a turbo oh yeah

 

This could be a good one to watch

im in the process of building up my rear axle with its 5 link system will be fitting it in middle of this next week
