Default dangerous's escort is starting to take shape..

a few pics of dangerous-reyland's escort which he bought off sean as a g shell minus wings and other vital bits such as an engine/box etc. It has sat in my workshop untouched for ages but the last month or so dangerous has been working like a he's on speed. it now sits on 9x18 comps. It looks like the interior might need a little TLC!

Brings back a few memories!!!!

Fair play to Dangerous, he is doing a good job on me old girl.


This is one of the last pictures that was taken of it before it came off the road. Cheers Renton



Yes the car did run with a fully working variable torque split Skyline gearbox. It would have run with the OS Geiken sequential, if my new front and rear diffs had ever turned up.

Thx for putting the pics up Martin

Just wanted to show you all what i have been up to with it.

Really looking forward to next years track days now

There`s still plenty to do - Ordered the morettes this week, have RS500 IC to fit & all hoses. the inside should come together quite quickly so will be the last thing to do
Hope to plumb the breather this weekend

Aiming for completion Feb / March

As for the Bosch man I cant understand the hostility ???

Do we have an issue M8??

To evryone else- Thx for the compliments

I Know Dave

its the set up off my saff

Will use this to get it started & run in Then going for Greys & bigger turbo Maybe T4 or similar

Looking for around 400 bhp which i think will give a good all round track car

Any good on that bottle ????
