josh barker mk2g4

hi, just started using this forum and decided to post up a few of my escort
she started out as a 1.3 ghia but with a 2 litre pinto efi and type 5 speed.
Was stood in my garage for a bout 3-4 year, then took her upto a friends garage to be prepared for road rally'ing. when she was finished we thought twice about road rallies. simply too nice for it to get in a state
any way heres pics
















































sorry about all the images lol
Josh.

NoRubNoDub

very nice, don't see many 4 nice doors. its not really a group 4 is it though?

djcjac

Best 4door iv seen. where did you get the fire wall form I wouldn't mind one for mine. Keep up the good work

robrs2

Where are the 4 link boxes from?

robrs2

Its only missing arches

josh barker mk2g4

the firewall was custom made by the bloke who prepared her, i think the 4 link boxes were from rally design or RACE.
the shell is group 4 apart from the arches, with the intention of road rallies in mind, you cant have arch extensions

Very nice, will be awsome on the lanes, you done any events before?

josh barker mk2g4

yes, all i know is its a brand new tranx lsd with a 4:1 cwp with standard shafts

josh barker mk2g4

no, dont want to rally this, if i am going to do events would probably be doing them in a proton, wouldnt want to risk damaging this escort

They're never too nice for the lanes!
Lol, but fair enough mate, top work on it, its lovely.

gjh

Fair enough. It is very tidy with you, they've gone and banned long stroke cranks in Wales<--- (real tears). What region do you compete?
