Very nice mate. See, I do look

Powder Coating looks good too, where you get that done?


Does it feel weird working so much on a Mk5 Escort rather than a Mk4? lol

Damo, good work mate

What are your plans for the car now after the rebuild? I assume you will hold on to her ?

One thing I have vowed to do is go over to the Nurburgring I have always wanted to and was a little dissapointed I hadn't done so before I put the car up for sale, so that is a must do IMO.....once I have done that... who knows

That wiring looks scarily confusing
Good job it's in capable hands

You're not the only one with the Nurburgring in mind

Paul - I never said I wanted to go round the 'Ring, not now I have driven round it on GT4, that is bad enough. I might do it in a Hertz rent-a-car, but not my RS


Looking good Damo I wish I did something with my steering rack when I had the chance.

Dont tell me he finally managed to flog you a set of them air injectors

That exhaust manifold looks pukka glowing red there

Thats got a massive kick of torque at 2500-3000 rpm, will that be a problem for the gearbox ???

Thats certainly going to feel fast and have a hard punch when you nail the throttle out of the tolls LOL

Right here's this weekends pics,not alot to show really ... Should be MUCH further along by now ideally...

Got the engine fully built up as much as I can without the bits I'm missing

BTW the breather return to sump isnt finished yet, I'll finalise it once the engine is back in







Today I tackled the loom... Was FAR easier, well I say easier, I mean more "straightforward" lol, than I thought, well I dunno if its right yet but logic says it "should" be

Its all connected up fully now, IGN live Rev counter, fuel pump etc, just needs a bit of tidying to finish but I ran out of loom tape
