zimbabweanford Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Hi everyone.. thought I would introduce myself.. I'm Ayrton, and originally from Zimbabwe.. My parents and I have just moved over and staying in Brighton.. My dad and I love old fords.. My dad used to rally several Mk1 Escorts and used to race a Mk3 Cortina pick up which he put a hot lotus 1500 in at the time... before we moved her we actually had a type 49 shell mk1, a mk2 RS2000 and a mk2 1600sport plus a couple other bodies we were doing up.. unfortunately sold them all before coming over.. We will be getting some more here once settled down and find something decent.. Just wondering if you guys have like a general meet that you go to eg where and when?!?

zimbabweanford Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 well first is a mk2 1600 sport which I got off one of my dad's friends.. we were going to race it but couldnt find the spares we needed to get it running then this was my first Escort a mk2 1600 sport.. I uprated all the suspension polybushed it and then had the motor out for a while and fitted a mild rally cam and a 32dgav on as well as a couple of other things And those are standard 14" peugeot rims on it. then this was my RS2000. we got it in quite a state. Ended up redoing pretty much eveything on it but by the time it was finished we had coilovers in the front with 4pots quick action rack fully adjustable tca's double width kit poly bushed and compression struts. plus other stuff.... had bout 150hp at the wheels.. But we did end up putting decambered springs on the back as well which lowered it but dont have any pics from when it was lowered
