does anyone know of anyone who might make a stainless manifold and exhaust system for a x-flow mk2 escort?? i dont see why we should put up with mild steel and just let the japcars and the bad BWOYS with their tupperware rockets have the stainless systems!!!

ALSO! forgot to tell you! it has a quick rack! and rs anti roll bars ( which were on it when i got it, along with rs2000 wing runners ) and an electronic ignition kit!

Word to the masses! i hope everyone is well this evening! ive got sweet F.A to do tonite so i thought id let EVERYONE know about my mk2 escort 4dr ghia thats been recieveing some TLC since last october after rusting away in my shed for 4 years!!! So, back when i was 16 i bought this 1981 Mk2 Escort Ghia 4 Door, finished in red with a black vinyl roof, shed covered a fair old distance of 97,000 miles, but i was willing to forgive her seeing as she was just on 20! So i handed over my £600 and returned with my car, which had a slippy clutch, a cracked diff bearing, a rocker gasket leak and a very VERY rusty front end! So i drove it till it broke .....dont ask questions about me being 16 at the time.......lol and then! after years of surfing classic ford magazines and burton power catalogues and reaming up the escort i really really wanted, last october i sent her off to a bodyshop to see what could be done to save her and after a quote of £1500 for a complete shell restore i thought F**CKIN BARGAIN! and so it begun! so i got the panels we needed: pair of front wings front panel slam panel bonnet boot drivers door ( front ) passenger door ( rear ) well i went down to visit and discovered a racing mechanic ran a shop next door, so along came the mods :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D we decided in the end on: 1700 X-Flow block Mahle Pistons Lightened and Balanced Farndon Rods Lightended and Balanced Bottom End Hardened Big End Bolts Lightened and Balanced Flywheel Stage 3 ported and polished head with mexico valves a Kent 244 cam kit and pulley a set of sexy old twin weber 40 dcoe's silver top competition fuel pump fuel pressure regulator big header alloy rad ( looks so PHIT ) type 9 5 speed rs2000 prop quaife atb differential 13 x 7 deep dish minilights lowered 2 inches capri 2.8i front struts and brakes anti-tramp bars anti-dive kit inside we're going with a black ghia interior with 2 OMP bucket seats in the front along with an OMP steering wheel and gearknob a mexico front spoiler and a carbon fibre RS boot lip and we ditched the square headlamps, went for round ones and a new grille also lost the chrome strip down the side keeping the chrome bumpers and window and gutter trim# and the ghia badges sorry but the strip down the side just looked so GASH!!! NOT sure if i've left anything out of that! but i like it! its not nearly finished yet! needs the engine hoses putting on, the fuel tank putting back in, the red coat of paint, the vinyl roof, the front n rear spoilers and the interior! BUT we have all the parts and it looks like the finish lines only a few weeks away if some ppl get their arses in gear! ( the carbs have been put on but i havent been down 2 take a picture yet ) anyway, ive created a photoalbum on photobucket if anybody feels like checking it out, bearing in mind shes not finished yet so dont judge lol! she'll be a loud sexy beast when shes finished heres the link and sorry i rambled on so bloody much! http://s207.photobucket.com/albums/bb10 ... 20Project/

boys and girls im afriad your all wrong! its an 89 mk2 polo, with red bumpers and red hubcaps! brakes that might as well of not even been fitted to it and a crappy 1300! 120,000 miles and an MOT till september, but the mk2 should be ready well before then

what horrible machine ive been reduced to purchasing for the pricey sum of £100 in the quest to keep myself on the road while the escorts getting the TLC it needs...... taking all bets...

hell yea, i ordered a carbon fibre mexico spoiler, anti dive kit and anti tramp kit at the start of december and it didnt turn up until the end of february!!!!!

in the basingstoke area feel like donating a working vehicle of some kind to me? preferably with an MOT! its almost time for the cremation of my wonderful rover! its gunna be a beautiful fire! especially as its got half a tank of fuel in it ! but yeh! someone give me wheels!!!! peace xo

JMC dont stock wheels themselves! if u buy them theyll get shipped 2 u straight from midland wheels.. its what happened when i ordered my 7x13's on yoko's from JMC a few weeks back!

my escorts nowhere near finished yet! and my stupid rover 220d is about to commit a painful suicide! i have no car for the summer! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
