Its your car mate, but i reckon it looks wicked as it is. the black stripe on the bumper will do it justice though

Thought it was about time we got a dedicated car to use and have fun on some track days,so with a bit of luck we stumbled across this little mk4 escort bonus ,a deal was struck, one day insurance sorted and we drove it home , going to be built up with mostly second hand bits from other projects etc ,but will still be built to a nice standard

Looks very good bud my brother had similar one back in the day 90's spec rst kit.

Well povs had a hard 1st week back on the road. Been used daily sometimes with temperatures as low as minus 12 . . . And so far so good. Its highlighted 3 issues so far. 1 dodgy starter. It does work most of the time, not bothered. I have 3 spares.

A fuel issue on cold start. Takes a few cranks to start. Seems to me the fuel is flowing back when left? Not running with a fuel filter at present

And a engine mount issue. The rubber looks ok, but its vibrating like mad on idle. Sounds like metal on metal? gonna try a new mount. If you push on the block. It shuts up.

jammerrs

should of left the engine like that, air filters are over rated

looks wicked like that

slammedorion

Did sound better like that Did wanna fit the standard air box but was too much work, filter came up cheap So it does its job

slammedorion

Just a quick up date. Still all running well. Ive still not changed the engine mount. . . . Did clean it all up yesterday. But run out of daylight for pics. Its keeping me busy. . . drives mint though. Worth while conversion. Will sort some pics out in the week

Might end up with a interior fitted to it soon though, atleast doorcards and carpets

slammedorion

Poo update. . . :- New engine mount should be with me tommorrow. . . Cost me Ł23 quid off ebay . . . :mrgreen:
