mk2 sax

Hey all, Last year my dad purchased a "N" reg mk2 1600 sport which is currently being restored. It was registered in june 1975 so by my reckoning it must be one of the first sports. We were just wondering how rare it is and if anyone knows how early the first mk2 sport were produced?? cheers - Sax

Heres mine, some may disapprove haha

Very nice mate

My old driving instructor has one wheel in his garage but he'd sooner sell his wife than part with it

Heres a couple more courtesy of Synergy

cheers mate I wanted to have a go at painting mine myself but i couldnt find anywhere to do it Wish you luck with your mk2 and hope to see it about

Heres my dads engine bay, he wishes he had a pinto to go with that rocker box and carb

Yeah that'll have been me, had to make the most of my 2 months insurance (all I could afford at the time lol)

Before: After:

very nice mate great sleeper

cheers mate and yeah we managed to straighten it out. Ratchet strapped it to the roof with the wheel arch and tank well cut out, straightened the chassis leg and welded the arch and tank well back in. Done the trick

Cheers mate Found some pictures of the restoration (not for the faint of heart) lol Came with a rover v8 in so the bulkhead was all cut back. The decision was made to restore the bulkhead and put the bubble back in. Must of had a bump up the rear back in the day which had pushed the rear quarter in, line and gap was all over the place so when the tank well was out we suspended the rear from the ceiling to try and straighten it out No that is not an ambulance in the background

Thanks Aluminium inlet plate and tubes are getting cut in the CNC machine at work this weekend. dont know what carbs i'm going to use yet, any ideas anyone??

thanks for all the comments black and silver plates aren't on any more as my dad got pulled over at 5:30 in the morning on his way to work a couple of weeks ago. As if they've got nothing else better to do

Finally got some more pictures and a spec list sorted (Experimented with bike carbs but couldnt get it to run properly, currently undergoing second attempt ) Engine & Transmission 1630 crossflow, 1300 flywheel, A2 cam, webber twin choke carb, ashley 4-2-1 manifold and exhaust system Type 9 5 speed gearbox, quickshift kit, 3:5 RS diff Suspension & Brakes Bilsteins and Polybushes all round, 1 1/2" lowering blocks, tramp bars, anti-dive kit M16 calipers and vented disks, 9" rear drums, braided hoses

I wish my front garden was a loud to look like this lol

Might be interesed in the rear seat. What sort of condition is it in? How much would you take for it? and where abouts in scotland are you?

+1

i've heard of phoenix engineering, my old driving instructor zetec'd a mk1 (think it was featured in classic ford) about 10 years ago and they asked him if they could borrow it to copy. Aint heard of them recently :/

That reminds me of a 4 door 1600 ghia i saw on ebay once for 7k lol

hey all, Im the proud owner of a bright orange fast road spec 4 door mk2 escort 1600 sport replica. It was a 15th birthday present off my dad as something for us to mess about with and to be my first car but it just escalated from there It has undergone a full resto over the last 3 years.
