Default After about 4 years...

Of sitting in my garage doing not a lot, my Mk1 is finally going in tomorrow to be 5 linked and have all the other associated shizzle done



I'll finally be able to take some decent respectable pictures of it too

How could you neglect it for 4 years?

Looks great

Saw a blue one Mk2 earlier on in the week with a 2L Zetec on throttle bodies, was awesome! Popping and flaming!

Its on the road!







Something tells me it could take a while and completely bankrupt me in the process It needs a hell of a lot of work, and a lot of stuff re-doing also unfortunately.. I wish i'd known a bit more about Mk1s before buying it to be honest, but still it is all going to be done properly now!

Lee_R21Turbo
Yes I bought it from him after I broke my Saph that blew up at the PF Daddy Thrash

Lambchop
I think it was 4 years ago, it may have been 3... I try to forget

Mark2Mark and dave cos4x4
I'm having it done through RACE in Stoke they are one of the best for their old Escorts, however they actually have another guy take it away and do all the welding etc. He said he will email me some pictures as it goes along

good to see it going to get sorted so soon Phil.

mine was going to that same lad but i could not get a price off Phil or Mick as to what all the mods would cost when done.

it will be all worth it though in the end,yes you will need to spend on it but i have no doubt it will be all worth it.

keep posting the pics.
