Thought i would post some picks of my Autograss racer.

Probably not to everyones taste but can confirm that this shell would not have made it back no the road

The car was built some years ago and i bought it last year, its running a 2.3 Volvo engine bored out to 2.4 with omega pistons race cam and ported head through a cossie box to a 5 linked volvo back axle. Its on coil overs all round and handles mint

Hope this doesn't offend anyone

Cool mate, looks like shed loads of fun

CossieShaun

It is mate
Good close sideways racing but can get a bit physical which is not good when using a mk2 escort as panels are not cheap or easy to come by

Stavros

cool

whered the manifold to fit the twin carbs come from, or was it custom made?

didnt think there was one to fit the volvo head

CossieShaun

Can get the manifold through Rally Design i believe but it comes direct form mangoletsi with upto 12 week delivery

Glad you like it anyway

i do hate to see mk2 escorts as stock cars/auto grass etc but it serves as a pupose so well done mate

CossieShaun

Yeh know what you mean mate but the shell really isn't that good and probably would have been just scrapped anyway.

If it makes you feel better my old man has a Mk1 1300 sport which is totally standard and a 2 door Mk2 fully arched and caged running a 1760 crossflow Plus i have a mint saff cossie and a Mk3 XR3i which is waiting restoration.

an old mate of mines mum and step dad used to do this they were various mk1's and 2's he won the class 3 with a mk2 around 18yrs ago nw320 was their number (had the 2.4pinto i think), he then got a mk4 escort with a 2.0 sohc vaux engine, then a class 5 fiat uno (space frame back) with the 16v arbarth (sp) engine on twin 40's, then a class 7 mini pickup with a 4.2 s/charged v8 which was a donor for the fiesta he was building.

last time i heard he has a twin bike engined corsa (class 7)
