hey so heres my Mk2 Escort that i got just before my 17th birthday a year ago now. i think the full rebuild/respray worked magic and cant wait for my 1600 Sport stripes to arrive Before: After:

Just a general Question regarding rally pack mk2 Escorts, I dont know if its different her in Australia, but if a Mk2 escort 2 door was fitted with the rally pac what would it be written down on the ID plate? if so what are the codes? thanks (sorry if this is an entirely stupid question)

What do you think about escorts with a stripe down the side, i like the look of the stripe the mexico and the 1600 sport had. How d you think it owuld look if i had one of those put on without and branding.

i like spoilers license was mounted temporary untill custom plates arrives

1980 Wedgewood Blue Code T

Really only wanted spots forthe ocasional country drive and to hae the stereotypical 2door rally look. But i guess i should keep it the origional square light smart look

Ok well as of the moment im not sure what i want to do with it. Its just a standard 1980 model. How much do you think this will be worth in a few years (dont know if aussie price is different to UK) Because the front and rear bumpers have some pretty noticable dents in them and i was just contemplating quartner bumpers and lights if im going to be fixing it. Time to think while i install new carpet and passenger mirror

I found some replicas Item number 290872308905

You dont think they are for circle headlights only?

Hey guys. I have nearly finished restoring my first car which is a 2 door mk2 escort. It has square lights and im wonderinf if putting driving lights on it would make it look weird. I wish it had circle lights but everyone says to keep it origional. anyhow here is some photos

I see some escorts have a clock mounted in the centre console, is this something that can be easily mounted in if i acquire the clock or are the clocks an rs2000 only thing and really expensive

Wheres the best place to order both side mirrors from, The aussie ones look alot different to the rest of them.

Looks nice! Are those cibie lights? i was looking at Cibie Oscars but they are like $400 AUD

Alright so i have decided to paint it olympic blue. Dont know if to do a 1600 sport rep or a Mexico replica (which could mean 2L engine later) Seeing as its just a normal 1.6L Escort, Would it be worth more in future as a replica?

Whats the best way to remove the stock instrument cluster and replace it, i see the steering column gets in the way. also the one i bought doesnthave a wiring loom. can i use the one from the stock cluster?

Yeah sorry im trying to get both spoilers. the only other available one is this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-ESCORT- ... 3258wt_952 and it doesnt really show the actual product.

ok thanks. Just to confirm, this is the correct spoiler for the mk2 escort http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330730295741#ht_1500wt_952 -Brett

Anyone know what air filter i should upgrade to? I see alot of escort engine rocking the smaller rectagle filter with the chrome look to it, i guess for better air flow. -Brett

What do good condition ones usually sell for?

They guy i bought my sports dash from also has an RS2000 Rear rubber spoiler he said i can have for $125 shipped. he said its good condition, should i go witht hat or a $175 fibreglass one? cheers

Got a photo of it? wouldnt mind seeing what they look like in better conditions

I found the guide! thanks mate that should make things easier providing the colours are the same.

I have sourced a center console for $35 (plus shipping) and a Sports dash (ghia or rally pac version) with tacho for $100 plus shipping. Im just wondering if the sports dash will plug straight into the car and replace the stock instrument cluster that doesnt have a tacho gauge? -Brett

Oh is there a place where i can see all the members rides? i want to try and find a front and rear spoiler for christmas. I cant really tell if this is the standard front spoiler http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-ESCORT- ... 1500wt_952

something like this maybe
