savvi if you know steve do you know matt clark? big fella, i work with him he is in some of your pictures of the v8 mk1 lol

Any body ever seen a mk1 escort runnin 7.5'' x-pact rims with standard arches? Any pic???

i think i twist on the metalic blue the 2.8is come in would be cool

What apprenticeships do u teach mate? engineering by chance? i know of a very large firm in berkshire that does alot of those kinda team biulidng things with there apprentices ...and my brother who works there (also an apprentice) says there is a car in the car park with an Old skool ford sticker

i was gonna get mine dipped and e-coated for 1750 btu decided against it the end, becuase my shell is really good and the guy that is going to paint it advised me that it would be a waste of money. That was for me though. Would be better in different situations though

mate i know for a fact you need the correct water pump with the right rotation, i think its the one of a zetec 1800, the 2 litre one wont work

i was going to have these but then i heard they feel strange under breaking and are no good for a car on the road, just a bit of usless info there mate

mate gartrac say on thier website that they can decamber single leaf (and multi leaf, costs more though) for 15 + vat each ive been trying to get hold of some recently, rang a couple of places, both were out of stock and not sure when they were getting anymore

Im likin this 'readin boys posse' alot lol

I fookin hate tiff nedell. Top gear is soo much funnier

hmm pic arnt working for me vids look gd though

dood whered you get your exhuast manifold

Sounds good sam wish mine would be ready for the summer but it wont be in paint until august

Im suprised most companys wont quote you! i got insured with footman james for 450 when i was 18 easily enough

Good info mate thanks

Just had a look, they are all mk2 ones, different from mk1 leaf's i believe...

Hmm ill have i look. im looking for 146lb ones i think...

Am i right in saying yours dyno'd something like that gaz until you took it to torque of the devil??

...For a mk1 escy. Does anybody know where to get them? Ive just phoned west wales rally spares and they have been out for a while and dont know when they are getting any more in Any help?

Mate why dont you give the spacers to someone to turn half an inch off each? i'd do it for nothing if you were local.... *whoops* miss read your post thought u said they were nearly rubbing the wing

Should put all these diagrams that gary provides in the 'how to' section

I liked american history x... What about stop or my mom will shoot

Rich sav has some different-but-cool style door mirrors on his mk1 i wonder how good they are?

will do mate its taking a little while longer to sort out than i hoped it would becuase apparently another weak link is the side gears which means they need to be changed to atlas ones which is a different spline etc... I think im gonna need to get my LSD first

thats for atlas side gears right? i thought you ran and english axle gaz? i can do that but i need a side gear so i can work out which spline it is (there is alot more to it than number of teeth. pressure angle, major diameter, minor diamter etc..)
