    Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

    Good news! I was wondering what was happening to this little car

    1968 MK1 Escort 1300GT
    1969 'Big Wing' MK1 Escort
    1972 MK3 Cortina 1600XL
    1984 Sierra XR4i
    And other junk I don't like to talk about!

      It nearly didn't belong to me anymore. Got a 25k offer for it earlier in the year but was holding out for 30

              Engine is still same spec but has had a major freshen up at HT, oh and Andys fitted his shiny new trumpets

              Just fluids to go in and a starter and she'll be running and ready for a rolling road session after xmas with a bit of luck
