I have this. http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/ipb/index.php?/topic/81452-mk2-escort-2door/

Cheers khanlad. Some more pics as promised.

I havd decided to offer my mk2 escort for sale. I built it about 5-6 years ago as a road legal trackday car and has been a lot of fun. Unfortunately due to new projects it has to go. More pics to follow. Engine/gearbox Chassis mounted 2.0 Vauxhall C20xe on weber 45s and mbe ignition. Mike Edwards custom stainless exhaust manifold. Mapped and set up at HT racing making 225bhp. 5 speed tran x straight cut type 9 gearbox and English axle with 4.1 plate diff. Shell Shell is seam welded throughout with reinforced front bulk head for stiffness. Large gearbox and diff tunnels and the rear is 5 linked with round turrets. Bolt in cage that picks up front and rear turrets and tied in to A and B posts. 12 gallon aluminium fuel tank and filler in the boot. It has full glass and all steel panels apart from the bonnet that is fibreglass. Suspension Front legs are bilstein rebuilt by IG racing with his superior oil and valved for the car. On adjustable tca’s and modified roll bar. Rear are adjustable Gaz coilovers Brakes Bias pedal box with Caprisport front set up with 260mm vented discs. Fiesta front calipers on the rear. Interior Corbeau pro series seats with Luke harnesses and removable Omp suede steering wheel. Ali door cards. It’s a good tidy usable car that could probably be easily converted to a clubman rally car. Although pictured with no number plates it is fully road legal and registered in my name and currently not mot’d but can be for a buyer. £15995

HTs at Brands Hatch

Im from Eastbourne so probably about a 3 hour trip. Any idea of a rough price yet?

I have looked at the pics of the improved circuit on the MSV website and it looks amazing. Its a bit of a trek for me but would be worth it if we can fill it with old skool

would probably be up for this depending on the date. Is it likely to be the full 300 circuit?

I watched the first hour or so and the white 3 door was very impressive. Chatted to the owner breifly, who was a nice fella, and its obviously a serious car with a lot of effort put into developing it. I hope his damage is not too bad!

considering how much we all like a bit of sideways action there doesnt seem to be much talk of drifting with old fords. maybe all that japanese puts people off! good to see mr morley getting involved and hopefully encouraging a few others. im gonna have a go in my xe powered mk2 escort at a DWYB at santa pod in the next couple of months. its a shame theres not more venues in the south east.

Glad you've seen sense mate! looking forward to chasing you round brands hatch in the summer Neil

madeira drive would be pretty cool if you can pull it off. quite local for me so would def be up for it. keep us posted.

No m8 if it happens it will be on Madeira Drive on the seafront So its still not definate then?

will it finish at the marina again?

i like a good vid and that is one! ari vatanen in the rothmans mk2 is awesome.

gonna be optimistic and say 230 with no filters

tis me indeed! about time we had a local meet isnt it.

sounds good. just put my gearbox back in so its a good excuse for a blast out. any idea what time?

great vids and a good evening . - was there with my white mk2 escort but only managed about 10 laps before gearbox and clutch problems ended my evening. nice to see i still made your video!

Did a few sessions at lydden hill yesterday so thought id post some pics. turned out to be a really good day with demos from allsorts, from japanese drifters to geared 2 stroke karts. seemed to be quite a few old fords there as well with some embarassing more modern cars on the track. Motors TV were there filming apparantly so will have to look out for that!

its may 4 which is the next bank holiday.

are you gonna be going steve? would be good to get a few of us down there.

I have booked some track time for my escort and was told when i booked in there is plenty of osf gonna be there. dont think theres a stand though.

Thanks johhny_h. i know what im lookin at now!

very useful. does anyone have any pics of the inner wing strengthening plates under the arch?
