    My mk2 escort home built toy

    As with most projects it’s not finished. On and off the road with constant tweaks and improvements. Thoughts ?? Click image for larger version Name:	3D24FDEC-8F99-4343-AC68-FE761000D1CB.jpeg Views:	161 Size:	129.5 KB ID:	86296

    2.1 pinto on 45s , bvh , gp1 cam , steel rods , studded block , tuned by wpe . Lsd , coil overs, Cosworth brakes , compression struts , quick rack - list goes on and on. Just broke the 2nd type 9 and the last one was a v6 box so converting to rx8 6 speed. Future plans of a YB head and twin 50s when funds / time allows .

    Nice one
    Like the window washers moved onto the bonnet. What nozzles did you use ?
    Only thing I’d change would be re trimming the seats to black, but that’s only personal preference
    Any more pics of the boot and underside?

    Seats are from an rs 1600i in excellent condition just needs handles to tilt them. Black rs interior is silly money these days if you can locate a good one. Any thoughts on what it’s worth ? I was going to swap for a 3 door Cosworth recently but got messed around.
