Thanks for the offer dale.off to Chicago for 5 days so if it's in the same condition I might have a look next week if that's ok. Mine is sorn at the moment and doing all those small jobs one of which is fitting a supercharger. Do you need a lift with your engine. It would be a bit lighter now given how much metal you have taken off lol

Can any one confirm where the three cables from the alternator go too. I am going to renew it all as it looks bodged. I know one goes to the battery and that's about it. The battery is not charging very well despite a new alternator and belt. I can see three different colour cables of various diametres in the same 1m of cable. Mk2 escort with a pinto.

Is that the grey and yellow car on ebay

My mk2 escort was treated to pair of crystal headlights with new bulbs and led side lights. Got rid of the spotlights. A new grill was fitted. The design will not be to everyone's liking but hey ho let's go. Boy was it cold today.

I like a 1600e very classy and great looking cars.

Looking for one in black not worried about condition or if it's original ford Neil

Pair rally giant 7" spotlights and covers.comes with home made brackets. I have a brand new spare so three lamps in total. Up rated bulbs as well. Just took them off my Mark 2 escort. £20 and free p and p Neil

The wife has cleared a large space under the tree. Hope it's where I will find a 2.0 zetec engine complete ready to slot in with all ancillaries attached and Mazda rx8 gearbox . Throttle bodies with mega jolt and a nice new fan belt in black.

I bought a small quiet generator. However it's not that quiet and the locals will complain as they complain about everything. How can I make it a bit quieter . Can I fit another silencer. Bit of noise suppression required as I often work on the car in the evenings

See those Tennis limited edition mk4 fwd escorts have nose dived in price. Been on fleabay several times. They look shit.

A few advisories on the mk2 escort today. 2 x ball joints 1 x TCA 1 x wheel bearing Handbrake binding on passenger side I though I was going to fail on emissions but no issue. We also found the water pump was leaking. Pleased with the result.i was expecting to fail but Santa was on my side. Neil

Wish I had kept my low mileage escort twincam.then again my rs1800 in red was quite nice. Lol

Love the all aggro SUV. Wonder if it has the square steering wheel which was a bid odd.

Awesome escort. Just right in so many ways.my escort has a pinto and carb. I have nothing to prove to any one in a faster modern car. Up your chuffa all the time these boys are but the escort has a pedigree no vauxhall Adam or Corsa or St can match. As for fiat 500...fook right off

I wouldn't. The car looks too good. If you do fit the cage then it goes : twin cibie spotlights,weber ,janspeed, lowered etc Stereotypical look I suppose

Did they do a tawny brown twincam or has all the white paint peeled off or been eaten by wild boar.

Mk3 escorts are old skool.mk4 escorts are not. Think about all those great cars xr3 xr3i RS turbo and even rs1700t

In the escort I have a very tinny sounding 3 watt blue booth speaker. Can anyone recommend something that's a bit louder but with better sound quality. It does need to be charged via the fag light type socket doofer. No cd players here

Today I saw a really nice mk3 escort RS1600i.definately needs to be included.

I have some unfinished business with a dutton kit car. My previous one was 1600gt cortina based. Looking for a phaeton and not a noddy melos. It will eventually have 1600 xf and 2000e box old skool. My last one ended up in France as there they can only complete vehicles that have been on the road at some point or 75% original. Duty one are cheap and if you have seen a chassis you will know why. Saying that my last one was sub 8 seconds 0 to 60 and handled ok. Neil

Fitted clear indicators. Made my own grill insert Fitted RS steering wheel New washer bottle and jets in the bonnet Brighter bulbs in headlights
