Give Ray a pat on the back from me Andy

He did a very nice job, the pics don't show just how nice the colour has come out. Mind you the guy who did the hours of prepping on the body for Ray didn't do a bad job either

It was very nice to get the car back on its wheels with all the suspension and steering (also minty fresh and repainted) yesterday, all we need now is an engine. Mind you there was a small block chevy on the floor next to the escort, but it didn't quite fit.

Well done to Ray though, the car looks like it should again, and thanks to him and Larry for letting us take over his garage for the last week

There's a good lad, getting the important stickers on first

Mind you, can you keep some thick black tank-tape handy when you're at race meetings, just incase you start breaking halfshafts again and need to cover up the Fostek stickers quickly???

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

hmm know the feeling,

got my fingers crossed for you andy,

fired mine up to day, but only for a couple of seconds, as its got no exhaust at all, and the cooling system doesnt yet hold any water.

rolling road booked on wednesday,

tomorrow could be very busy.............

or very quiet if the stuff i'm waiting for doesnt show,

and if it dont arrive tomorrow then i wont make lydden, i cant risk racing with NO running in or remapping whatso ever

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

The block is all painted and the parts are clean ready for assembly so its looking good m8.

Cant wait to see what difference there is between the last dyno plot and the new one.
