I don't think Ellie escort will be ready by then but I will attend. Where is it??

The rear nearside has had a wack in the past.It was filled up convincingly however it needs replacing.Who is reproducing them???

Christ that's dear!!! Really need some help on this guys or I am in deep doo doo!! Still not happy........,

Just got Ellie escort back from being glass blasted to find out to my horror she is half f****d. I may need both rear quarters. Anyone know where I can get them?? Or anyone got any?? Are they expensive?? Not happy.......

Thanks guys for the input.I am now really confused who to get one from!!!! What is the price for a stainless manifold and stainless system???

Is that an off the shelf item or a custom manifold and system deal??

Does anyone know who makes a stainless pinto manifold?? I see Ashley do a stainless system but not a manifold ?? Unless I am completely wrong!!!

Well she is now stripped back to a bare shell ready for glass blasting. What have I got myself into!!!!

I am in the same boat too but mine is an arched car.I am deliberating between an english or atlas but mine is going to be turreted.Mine is primarily a fast road car so is their a real everyday advantage???

That is a money no object ESCORT.Fair play to the owner it is stunning and would love to have a look around that.

Thanks to all you guys. I am relatively new here and i think its great.It has helped me already with the car(got some real direction with the project now)and no doubt when putting it back together the help will be needed!!! I will be at the events next year so I can put the faces to the names!! Well done team.

Stripped my car now. Going to fit cage, seat bars etc. Anyone know roughly how much I should be charged for priming and painting the inside only in diamond White?? I just don't want to be ripped off again.

I would do a group 4 looking mk 2,frozen white,2.3 duratec with huge throttle bodies,atlas rear,carbon bonnet and boot,full carbon dash and interior pieces and a ruined bank account!!!

Thanks for showing me that! I bought her in early September. She is now stripped back to the shell almost as all was not as it seemed when I bought it. The shell is ok just everything else !!! I will post some more pics up.

Thanks for that!!! That looks like a right mix bag and a pain in the arse to buy for!! Trouble is i want all the bolts to match in the yellow zinc coulour.Any ideas where I can buy these from?? There must be a supplier who specialises in these?

Hi guys,just the one pic at the mo of Ellie(my boys named her!!).Work in progress.It will be ready for spring.I will pop up the spec and photos as she progresses.Thanks for all the info and advic as i go along it is appreciated and helpful no end. Just a quick question guys....... How do I get this link to show as the picture rather than the link?? any ideas??

Yes its a mk2 on a P reg.So what bolts etc should i buy metric unf???

Just about to buy a million stainless nuts and bolts to put my 77 escort together.Are they all UNF??? and are they imperial? Yes I am dumb and stupid...............

Thanks for that.Do you still use lowering blocks as well?? doesthat in total give you a 4" drop?

Hi, Received my single leaf springs today for my mk2 escort.I see some people decamber them.Is there an advantage to doing this??If so anyone know where i can get them done? Thanks...........

I am fairly new to the oldskoolford scene and have witnessed some rip offs already.However if you use your noddle and research properly and talk to people you can get parts reasonable.I have used the guys at Escort tec and they are great guys running a business but still giving sound advice for free and selling good priced parts.(Love the Tran X diff I picked up today whoopeee!!) There are rip offs on ebay and I see some at the show at Donington the other week.I have found items cheaper new than secondf hand ones at times as well so research does pay off!!

Thanks for the feedback.I don't really need new ones I will just have to get the old ones stripped and painted instead.I thought the blue paint colour would be something alot of people would know.I will have to keep on trying!!!

Hi Guys, I have 2 things I need to know and I need help for my mk2 escort. 1.Can you buy new rear leaf spring saddle/rearshock mounts still?(the one that sits underneath the leaf spring and the rear shock bolts to it too) 2. What is the paint code for the Ford Blue that people paint there axles/suspension parts??I have seen it used alot but cant nail the paint code or colour name. I will appreciate the feedback. The car is coming on and getting her ready for some meets next year!!

I am trying to upload it onto a post so people can see my ride!! Also tried to do it on an avatar but no joy either.I am lost and confused..................

Hi, I am new on here tonight!! I am trying to upload a pic and it wont let me saying board attachment quota has been reached even though nothing else has been uploaded?? What am i doing wrong!!!
