Twinkle Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 have been offered a deal on this nice little number? 1300 x flow with all the escort stuff on it and classic struts swap for the twink shell!! your opinions pleasee
RFChris Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 God damn, thats a niceley built machine....? Oh, fook it...do it, do it now! Chris
Twinkle Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Posted December 9, 2006 shook on it at the meet but you know what its like you always get little doubts gonna miss the twink but im thinkin the lotus twin cam would look good in the engine bay gonna try to keep the minilight rims if i can they would look sweet on it
Col-ashtonmobile Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 twin cam in the 100e would be sweet , aint seen one for years
Twinkle Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Posted December 9, 2006 do you know if it will go straight in col? would i have to use the 2000e box or will it bolt straight to the 4 speed escort one that in there as still havin gear change probs with the 2000e box?
emu Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Go on, do it (its easy for us to say isnt it, not being our cars!) Youve got the other escort havent you so you dont need another And a lotus pop would certainly be very different
Twinkle Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Posted December 10, 2006 already plannin what to do am thinking about keepin the blue but going for a two tone blue over cream just to put my own mark on it
quickrack Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Yep. Put the Twink in it. You wont see another about i reckon.
Gareth Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Gotta be done Lee m8 If its already been modded to accept a x-flow, I can't see a problem in the twink not fittin
Ratters Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Up to you at the end of the day but that's does look nice & clean & well built.
Daggle Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 It is a clean one, prefer the Mk1 though
Admin Vista Posted December 10, 2006 Admin Report Posted December 10, 2006 It is a clean one, prefer the Mk1 though ditto, but do like the idea of a Lotus 100e
Daggle Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 It is a clean one, prefer the Mk1 though ditto, but do like the idea of a Lotus 100e Yep the 100e, would be different but the Mk1 is something else, just my opinion thats all
Fiesta Steve Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 It is a clean one, prefer the Mk1 though ditto, but do like the idea of a Lotus 100e Yep the 100e, would be different but the Mk1 is something else, just my opinion thats all He does own two Mk1 Escorts though so he won't be without one if he swaps
ExotronGammaPlusSequencer Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Id be very tempted mate it looks very nice & youve still got the other mk1
huxmk1estate Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 is the personal plate included mate? its got that plate because its a early one, pre 63
Col-ashtonmobile Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 do you know if it will go straight in col? would i have to use the 2000e box or will it bolt straight to the 4 speed escort one that in there as still havin gear change probs with the 2000e box? the problem is the sump m8, you got a big wing sump on the twin cam which means the starter is on the drivers side and the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder on the passenger side, now is the bellhousing removable on the 100e or all cast in one with the box casing i.e type 2 ,is it cable clutch or hydraulic, if it,s removable cable type you can fit your hydraulic bellhousing and convert to hydraulic clucth, if not either fit your 2000e box or change the sump , give me a ring if your not sure
Posse Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 nice one lee deffo be mad with the twin cam in it
