my xe'd mk1 escort with a few changes

[payne'e]

i've been a bit busy the past few months doing a few changes to my mk1.

as i got it

first off i got rid of the citroen and peugeot brake setup and stripped, re-painted then fitted capri bilstein struts with -2" springs with 2.8 discs and calipers up front

then on the rear i fitted cossie calipers with fiesta discs

then fitted my superlites, 4 cibies and alloy doorcards front and rear

once back on the road i had issues with exhaust scrappage which annoyed me as i couldn't drive it anywhere

so i had to book my car in and get the exhaust chopped about. which i am happy about as now i can drive it and have been most of the day and what a day to be blasting about in. got loads of stares off people everywhere.

Wouldnt a 76 (R Reg.) be a mk2??

 

sorry if its aleady been answered, and don't even have to answer if you don't wanna, just me being nosey

 

Nice car either way, like the centre pipes and the new wheels

cheers chaps

all i know about it being on a r plate is on the v5 it's an escort 1300e

and at the bottom of the v5 special notes section it says rebuilt-assembled from parts some or all of which were not new.

next jobs are to fit my strut brace and remove the chrome strips around the windows and fit my peep mirrors.

Not unless as a mk1 it was one of the last ones built, and didnt get registered until 76 (may have been on a dealers forecourt or bought and just garaged, not registered)

[SebringRS]

And peep mirrors, the way forward
