Finally got around to buying another Escort, used to rally a MK1 Mexico in the 70's and still have the bug. Got a 79' Escort MK2 1600 Sport with superb body work (South African Import) I have started at the rear, rewired the rear lights, now all working, replaced wheel cylinders, brake shoe's, brake pipes, bilstein shockers, poly bushed the rear anti roll bar. Need to drain and flush the petrol tank (horrible brown fuel in ) then start working towards the front. Already got new discs to be fitted. Looking to buy some 6"x13" Minilites and Twin 40's with manifold.
Happily retired so really taking my time on the build and loving every minute.
Cheers
Jeff (Sunderland)
