Well just so I can take my time with the Escort and not feel left out at meets, I've bought myself another car. Gonna need a banana and yellow turbosport stickers
More pics when I pick it up tomorrow. I'll definately be "popping" down to the next turbosport meet in it

So yellow it hardly needs a banana.
Look forward to seeing it.
Yeah I like my bright coloured cars, harder to lose them in car parks

what engine, running gear popcorn:

what engine ?
pinto powered with escort running gear. more than fast enough considering it has no seat belts

Picked up the banana now. Drives really nice, just need to get the wipers working as its fun driving behind lorries on the motorway with no wipers

And the neighbours went ....
"whats he bought now"
Personally i like it... well its got bubbles ..
nice!
love it
Yeh gotta say its grown on me since you first showed it to me Rich
I agree with Matt, was just about to comment on the bonnet myself. Could do with being an inch or so lower too imo but it is nice Rich

I can have a look on the wheel for any markings, or take a close up pic of the wheels. Plans for it are to fix the various electrical gremlins, fit seatbelts, new bonnet (maybe), 3 bar grill, lower front end to match back (back lowered 2" already), and enjoy

Oh and it has a fog light shining on the axle still

Oh dear....
Nice one Rich, def gotta do something with the bonnet though.
As for identifying the slot mags best way is take them off, put them in a dark place.....
...and fit some decent wheels
Do like the car a lot though, bout time you had something that stood out

Yeah the bonnet is a bit stupid. Hopefully its stuck on over the bonnet with no cut outs, then it will be easy to remove

Be nice to see it with a set of supalites on to compare. (photoshop!)
Is the bonnet steel then rich, if so I'm sure the 'lump' could be lost with a little surgery
Have you measured it up for the LS1 yet??

It barely fits a pinto! Be much easier to fit the ls1 in the escort, at least the bay is big enough

the red light over the axle was all the rage in the late 1970's mate , and those wolfrace slot mags were the wheels to have back then , as well as the wheels and axle lights the car would have had a full fur interior , dash , roof lining , seats , everything covered in the stuff , and a jack up kit on the back , low cars were a no no back then ,
LOL at David... and I agree a nice set of BIG wheels of the right type would bring it bang up to date or just go for some steel rims
Anyway the slots look good
I remember 2 lads in a princess cruising central bristol ages back jacked up (how) with a red light onto the back corss beam it.

Funny how fashions go round.
Used to be Escorts had to be jacked up 2",
now they have to be lowered 2".
Maybe the roads got better.
Nice
But just one question...........
How are you gonna fit a turbosport sticker on that front screen its like about 3 foot wide
Dunno, maybe have to fit a small one on the front, if I fit a big one the writing will stretch across the side windows and take up half the height of the screen

Measure the readable area .... and overall width and a height as well, and see what we can come up with...
Oh and Gary, how do you make the handling so it doesn't scare the crap out of you above 60mph

Richard u madman. that thing is crazy, there is 3 or 4 of them in my unit that a fella is working on. Always saw them as a slow old mans car, but that is bonkers! Top props for driving that thing, I thought my car was loud enough for being yellow, but that thing takes the trophy!

Richard, are your front wheels like the red wheels or blue?
Also do the steering arms point outwards or towards the middle of the car ..
Or do you want to drive it up here?
