    Escort 1971 Newbie

    Hi, my name is Tiago and I own a 1971 2 door Escort mk1.

    My plans are to transform it into gr4 car with bubble arches.

    I plan also in fitting a zetec st170 or duratec

    Nice project Mk1 with an St170 would be nice. ST170 I think will be a much easier fit than the duratec - exhaust on the passenger side, will fit a standard ford RWD bell housing, basically a zetec so loads of mounts/sumps etc. about. I would be tempted to put the Chestersportscars bike carb/nodiz and VCT controller kit on it, nice easy fit. Good luck with the project.

    The body seems solid.

    Just need to check the floor panels and the rails.

    The boot is rust free, so is the engine bay
