Can't wait to get it done. Will post more pics
Once more is done

 

cool, i love a nice mk3

 

I am thinking of putting a zetec blacktop
In with bike carbs. Does anybody know what's needed
To put the engine in. I would be grateful if any
One can tell me what's needed and any how to guides
Thanks

 

Looks very nice

 

Looks well on them wheels.

 

Mondeo engine with wiring loom. Then you'd benefit from aftermarket management if you want to fit carbs

 

Love the look of that ,do a search on here, there is a zetec fitting guide thread

 

well change of plan. ive managed to get a rs2000 engine,box,drive shafts,loom. i swapped my 40's for it all. pick it up thurs. does anybody do a manifold for bike carbs for this engine?

 

looking good always liked a mk 3 escort sounds like you got a good project on the go

 

Picked up my engine tonight.

 

Very nice, that'll give it some poke!

 

Straightened my bumpers out and painted them

 

Nice

 

Thought I would take the car for an mot this
Week with the 1.1 engine still in to see what's
Needed. It went through with 3 advisorys, brake pipe, exhaust bracket
And a dodgy earth on the back light. Tomorrow
I'm fitting the bumpers, clocks, rs1600i front splitter
And rear spoiler, rear spats. Also going to mop the car
And use it until I have the rest of stuff needed
To put the rs2000 engine in. Will post pics tomorrow

 

I wish my car went through the MOT that easily

 

Fitted the spoiler,bumpers,rear spats and front splitter today.

 

 

Good preogress, if I were you i wouldn't do anything else to the body, it looks great as it is.

 

 

Looks good mate.

Although it appears you've put your trousers on before your socks.

 

Sweet motor and bet it will go well with the new lump in it

 

Lol that's my bro's lumberjack jacket

 

Nice one!

 

jesus fella wind from the beach musta cut u in half today looking at yr pictures i know exactly where u are i live on eastbeach u must know big dave

 

Modified front mount

 

It's Jake off Domestic Disturance
Looks siik mate

 

Hi mate, cheers, yeah it's getting there just
Can't wait to get it done

 

should be quick with that engine

 

I hope so, should be fun

 

cool project fella all the best with it

 

I thought the inlet would foul the brake bar when i trial fitted one in mine!
Is it possible to fit the engine without chopping anything on the chassis? What about if a custom engine mount was made to suit the standard chassis?

 

mine sits in fine, modified the front mount and the drivers side mount.ive used the cvh box so didnt need to chop anything out

 

Nice. got any pics of the top mount mods? Also how did you mod the front mount? My mk4 has a cradle so restricts adjustment.

 

I will take some pics of top mount.
Here is the front mount being lined up.


I cut a bit off of another mount and welded it to
The top of the existing 1.

 

shift well that but dunno about the front indicators

 

Them indicators are coming off. They were already
on when I bought it. I think they are hideous

 

will be nice to see the out come of it good luck

 

Couple of pics of drivers side mount

 

Couple more pics. Just got to do the wiring,
fit fuel tank, put exhaust on and hopefully
drive it.

 

lookin nice i love mk3's
