Jason Harris (Hopefully in the Mk1) 6. Posse 7. escortmad79 8. deltamal 9. Gary Stevens 10. Awesome 11. Ilovegrannys 12. hhu595n (aka dan aka the newbie to the world off oldskoolfords!!!) 13. El Sumo 14. Cmpod83, in his rather nice 3.0S, Grrr! 15. Mk2Jo 16. Driver 17 Capriaddict 18.mk2matt 19.+mk2rs2k (brown one)

was that on fast forward

Olympic blue was an earlier colour used on Mk1 Escorts. Mk2's used Riviera blue(very similar to olympic blue) or Nordic blue which was a slightly lighter powder blue used on later cars. thats what i thought until i brought my mk2 escort, and it says Olympic on the tag on the slam pannel lol

All rs's have an alloy spacer on the gear box mount, it bolts to the mount on the floor then the gearbox mount bolts to it, it lowers the gerabox mount about an inch, as to it being the same gearbox mount, it must be sligtly different otherwise the bolt would go straight through the spacer into the body.

I've got a spare one

To do it properly you have to put two dowls in the head to locate the manifold to stop it moving on the bolts The idea is to open the ports on the manifold to the same size as the head to improve air flow but if you open it up too far you will create a step which will cause turbelance which is no good hence the dowls to locate it spot on As to what tool to use, the best way is to use an air grinder. the grinding stones are crap (last 5 mins and take forever) Go to a good tool shop and get a drill bit with a sort of file on it (make shure its for metal not wood) costs about 20 pound eats metal lasts for ever

your car looks ace m8 , great vid too

pinto

they havn't got a chance

ideal all escorts, can't beat that

i'd say any where from 1 - 2k, but what engine has it got etc?.

hard choice, let you decide

i'd have a drive along there...... slowly lol, and so long as no one came the other way.

very nice

my old escort, before then after and then after about a years everyday use, with a set of carbs and the current escort

looks nice.. but 3k

i think its a good idea, but like said, people leaving mess, tools going missing etc, be a tricky one.

take the goodies off, the banger it

i think its perfectly fine, up to you what you do

happy birthday, have a good one
