My Alan Mann MK1 Escort trackday / sprint car

[sambo]

As its getting near to being finished, i thought i'd put some pics up.

I keep getting side tracked so the project has taken far longer than expected! Now she sits in the garage covered in dust from the new roof we have had to have put on the house .

Any way, here are some pics and it'll be going to the rollers in just a few short weeks.







the cam cover is now black as i didnt like the colour or the writing.....



I hope to do plenty of track days this year, mainly brands and next year, the plan is to do a few sprints once i have learnt the drive the thing properly!

Yeah baby. High standard of finish looking just right. Well done.

For me the Alan Mann escorts are the ultimate mk1 escorts.

Hi David, yeah my old engine was on parrallel bodies. Cheers guys, now all i need to do is clean the dust of the car and get the brakes bled and a small test drive is in order before going to HT's for a tune up.

Cant wait!

Re: My Alan Mann MK1 Escort trackday / sprint car

will do mate, hopefully the skip outside my garage door will be going and i can pull her out and wash it!
I'm a bit worried that those exhaust primaries are on the small side for a 2.3, HT will advise im sure.
