Well after a lot of thinking i have decided to go a totally different direction and sell my old project escort and start on a new car i ve found
After a 300 mile trip i now have a new car to go at heres a couple of pics to get started with i will show more in the coming week
This still needs some work but its never had a tourch near it at all in all its life and wont need alot to get it good
O that looks like it's got potential
Wonder how long it will be before that gets sold too!!

Nice one Ian, heard youd got a new toy today. You sell just the shell or all the goodies too?

Yes mate just sold the shell ,,,, still got a few parts to go that i wont need,,, just want a quick car but with four seats to scare the kids they think its a old slow car the mk2 escort
Got a bit of change of heart whem i was looking at all the standard lookin escorts got neil taken me on friday to go and pick up new car

Sticking with a X-Flow ????
Thats my plan too, 4 seats, if its not usable, whats the point, ha I started mine before we even thought of having kids! though my 6 year old lad's always pestering me to get it finished. Ive promised a mate I'll take him and it to monaco, so a bit of comfort's needed!! got to have ambitions...I'll pop by for a nosey when next about if thats ok.

It's a lot easier sitting here watching you do yours than going to my shed.

Like that Ian...............would be nice LH drive...........but that's just me.
If it's alsop for the Kids to enjoy then maybe RH is the way to go.
Now tell us your plans !?!
Lets set a date 2013, more detail to follow!!! (sorry for the hijack Ian!)
cosworth going in this one ?
sideways is the best way to turn a corner
Oh yes thats a must,,,,,,,,,,,, just not the extreme body mods like movin the engine just want a nice quick road/track car with 4 seats
ok if you say so lol you will put it on the road and the 6link back axle comes along 9in rear rims etc
sideways is the best way to turn a corner
Solid looking shell that
with the right electronics in there you wont need any of that and would be a comfy road/track car with a cracking looking shell
NL...you stole one of the very last mk2 shells...
Nah, just kiddin'
Btw, may I ask whom you bought it from? Ow and keep it LHD, that way the Dutch can buy it back from you in few years
Hi RuudjeNL...you stole one of the very last mk2 shells...

I bought the car from a guy,, from a place called York from over here in the uk ,,, he said he had about 6 of them a friend of his went over to belguim with a car transporter to look for some classic cars but did not find what he wanted but found theses escorts so he brought theses over about 5 years ago,,,, this was the last one he had left that he kept for himself but has never got round to useing it,,, he had a even better shell sat out side totally bare and it looked like it had just come out the factory and it wasnt even covered up
Nah think iam gunna change it over to our side think its best in the long term
