Thanx for great comments folkz...Its comming along nicely.Hopefully by the start of june it will be leaving black marks on the tarmac.Then my old plodder will be up for sale.Mk1 1300xl,2 door.I bought it 3 weeks ago for £150 taxed and tested." 2 owners from new.But its been bumped front and back.Pity you dont like mk1`s greg.It would make a lovely show car with a new o/s wing, and new rear boot panel fitted.
If i find a decent mk11 shortly ill let you know..
If any one requires any escort mk1 parts,cars,panels etc, let me know.My mate is selling he`s collection of projects.Women trouble.So the whole last four years of collecting are up for sale.Also mk11 van, in need of tlc..

Will take more pics and post tomorrow.The photos dont really do much justice for it,honest.I still need to paint around doors ,side windows and rear panel black. I just wish id fitted the capri axle with baby atlas now...too late now..

I do like Mk1's Mark - but to get one insured would be more difficult than with a Mk2. It all comes down to money, basically.
I've promised myself i will get another Mk2 after never getting my old one on the road. I'll find one sooner or later.

Cheers, Greg.

took a few pics today, as usual in Cumbria, p***ing down..What a nightmare trying to fit the roll cage..
Question....how many guys can you fit in a mk11 with no interior
Answer....bleeding loads when squeezing in a roll cage....lol

Turbo Technics used to do a conversion for the 20ltr pinto! If you could find a kit now I expect they would be expensive and it would not be worth the hassle. They usually only run low boost & the internals would have to be upgraded..

You'd be better off with a 2.1 pinto or Vauxhall 16V engine. IMHO.
