    Second Escort

    Hi all, been building my second Escort (1300 auto 4door now 2lt zetec), comming close to the finish. My first Escort was a 1300GT but that was 27 years ago.....
    curently at the wiring bit (head scratching time).
    here`s a pic of the engine bay.....i`m quite pleased with the way it`s looking so far.Click image for larger version Name:	IMAG0340.jpg Views:	85 Size:	60.4 KB ID:	49364

    Looks like a tidy install!

    How close is the TB to the underside of the bonnet?

    should clear the bonnet ok, but if it`s to close was thinking of putting spacer plate between the cross member and the chassis then lower the seats on the coil overs to adjust the ride height.
