Awesome project - loving the galvanised bits and the carbon bits.

 

Small update guys. Started to mount everything back on. A chaos with all the difftent bolts, nuts, bits and bobs. Got the tank and cover back from the painter and it looked fantastic. He have done a incredible job with it. The surface is just as nice as the paint on my escort.

 

Very nice and top work.

 

top work mate..looks awesome

 

mint

 

Some more parts came today so now i have all the parts i need for the fuelsystem. Have replaced the intank pump with a 023 with 8AN connectors on top feeding a catchtank with two 044 pumps. All in 8AN with areomotive filters. One 10 micron and one 100 micron. Also got the T5 box mounted today

 

dont mess about do you, excellent work

 

stunning

 

Small update. FINALLY testfitted one of the racingharts after ages just laying around in the garage. Also nice to see how its gonna look with the brakes under the wheels.

 

mint

 

top job looks awesome

 

Small update. Most of the underside is mounted. All brakes, rear axle+++. And the engine bay is getting together. Still waiting for some parts for the fuelsystem before i can mount the tank and catchtank. But it is starting to look like a car again

 

 

looks fucking gorgeous!

I'd be scared of driving it

 

It has finally hit the ground for the first time in ages and for the first time on the new wheels. Starting to get close to start up, but a lot of travelling this summer has kept the progress down. So now im taking her to my friends garage, racefix here in Norway. He specialises in cosworths and hes gonna do the fuelsystem done, get the car mapped and ready for me when i get back from Korea in 5 weeks. Then its to the paintshop to do some painting of various parts such as sideskirts, rear spoiler and one of the rear wings. Then its just minor things before its 100% ready





For the first time the escort sits lower than the oilburner

 

Pure sex!!!

 

fy flate Arne. dette blir bare mer og mer godteri.!!


hadde bare en av mine vert like bra.!!

keep the escos as shiny as that until death do you part.!!

 

Looks great! Keep up the good work and drive safely!

There is some serious money in the rebuild. Top job!

 

Looks very nice.

 

This looks very nice, big brakes .

 

very nice mate

Thanks for nice comments guys

 

 

FINALLY i have oilpressure on the old lady again. 1,5 years on stands in my garage


All im missing now is a new exhaust. I started to polish the old mongoose but it had some small dents and didnt look mint, so i ordered a new one. Also i need to use a 2wd downpipe because of the T5 box. The car feels SO much better as 2wd and the T5 box. I love the feeling of it now, and it still feels like its glued to the road. But i need to get it on the dyno to get it mapped properly. Started to mount some of the carbon bits as well.




Also got the mechanical handbrake calipers mounted


And i got a stereo mounted in the wall in my garage. Need some music when im in there most of the day



And if some of you in here have a mint 2wd gearknob, please let me know I really need one!!!

 

Got some more carbon fitted and a new set of smoked lights in the bumper. Just needs some smoked ones in the morettes now, anyone in here know where i can get them? Ive heard bmw e30 will fit but not sure:dunno: Hopefully its going to the paintshop next week and then its just some mapping left before its finished

 

one of the best resto's.perfectly done

 

love the work mate!

 

Car ready for summer-roads again. Only mapping left when the snow melts!!!

 

thats a nice car.

 

thats a nice car.

 

sweet

 

Stunning

I have just read the thread and excellent job you done and you must be proud of your self seeing it sitting in the garage also love the garage floor

 

You're " THE MAN " Arne !!

Awesome rebuild and no expensis saved to let it look like this...
You're a detourment chap to keep working on it that long.

I agree with you, it wouldn't be my first color choice either.
But as it sits in your garage, it looks ace, mate...

I love your eye for details like: rims, brakes, underside painting, carbon bits.

Please post as soon as possible pictures of the car in dayligth !!

 

Thank you guys for the nice comments. Means a lot.

 

great to see a car done so well AND actually finished!! lol

 

Took some more pictures of the car yesterday. Received my new indoor carcover and had to wash the car before i could put it on. The car is ready for summer now, just need to get it mapped Also waiting for the last carbon parts to arrive Also a few pictures of my baby transport.
