Went on a little 'birthday' drive... only to find out the altenator is buggered
That looks the nuts i have never looked in this section from what i can remember and what a pleasure to see i cant wait to have 2 on the road
Frank
Lovely also the air con you have installed looks ace
Now get out and enjoy it oh and get the polish off the back light lenses!!
That looks stunninggood decision on the mex decals tooas Dave says you need to clean them back lights up a bit
tommy 2000
Some new back light lenses are coming... the ones on the car are fooked!
I knew someone would mention the 'aircon'
At least you didn't notice my bonnet pull cable
Cheers for the comments
i noticed that cable.. and mine also like that..
maybe bonnet pins will help for that.. just an idea..
Went on a little run the other day... Everything seems ok, but i need the rear wheel bearing doing they are noisey as fook.
And for some reason the steeering rack gaitor is fowling the cross member and has already split the new rubber boot!!
A Modification is in order
looks better everytime i see it
door mirrors look nice , are they aftermarket or have you stole them of a toyota
I dunno what the mirrors are off... I bought em 2nd hand at a market a few weeks ago.
Can see out of the drivers mirror, but the passanger side - forget it... Bit like the bullets... But not as bad
pic of mirrors before fitting
and some new harnesses...
very very nice great thread keep the pics coming
Rear Wheel bearings done at the weekend, then off to a little show...
Need a new steering rack i think... feels a bit notchy when turning right.
love this motor
Harnesses Fitted and New Steering Wheel
Good result...well done...
I love the air con!
Russ.
Everybody who sees it loves the air con
I should have not bothered painting it and just fitted the air con... people wouls have been just as happy
New back light lenses and surrounds fitted - loads better
Also new number plate fitted, as the car has moved districts... slightly off centre tho
Picture of it with some VW's at the garage too...
And i needed a jump the other week, put the Cortina to use
The car is the mutts nuts but those blue stripes..... . Much better now.

Sorry... what did you say???
Engine out...
Toyota 4AG waiting to go in...
should be nice once done , maybe youll be able to outrun those scooters
but i wouldnt be too keen on the roadside repairs
I'm not too keen to be honest.
BUT:
The level of workmanship is about the same where ever you go unless you pay big ££££.
This place is just round the corner from my place so i can keep an eye on things, and advise.
I've seen this place fit engines before and I was happy with what i saw.
They can do everything here, from modifying the sump to custom making me an exhaust, and fabricating the engine and gearbox mounts, so no need to go from one place to another.
Drive it there, drive it away. (hopefully)
Lets see...
AE86 4AGE...? hurrrmmm... now that's a better heart for her! are u changing the rear axle too? if so, i think u hav to shorten it abit...
next will be the high spec cam... then upgrade to 4 throttle... next, custom big exaust manifold.. next blaa blaa blaa.. then short ratio gearbox.. LSD... too much to list.. LOL..
finally, DRAG her to Kuala Lumpur...
Love this mk1, looks double cool
You have done a brilliant job on it as it looked a real snotter in the first pics.
Mate you are livin the dream, driving a sweet escort in permanant sunshine!! Are there many escorts out there or are they a rarity? Yours must really turn heads...
I love the way its parked at the side of the road gettin the engine swap done, our health and safety guy would have a corinary . Now THAT is old school!!
Bit of a rarity actually... You are very very lucky to see one on the road driving. I get a few when i'm driving it...
Lets just hope the old skool can get the new skool motor running
It's coming on well to honest... i'll get some pics tomorrow.
hey mark, i found this in melspec's thread. this is his friend mk1 cosworth powered :
i put it up here coz it looks similar with ur color...
BUT i liked this better:
later she'll be A sickxteen hundred 4AGE powered...
the car is spanking
Similar yeah Med... maybe i should have put black rs2000 stripe on instead of blue
This was taken a few days ago... I'll get some more this weekend...
Top car mate should be a good conversion
Cheers...
