my escort has been in the garage since october 1st 2010, got it out today, it even started without charging the battery, evereything still works as i nipped it down the road and back.

 

grabbed a couple of pics, lots to do on in this winter ready for summer 2012.

looking good mate back in the escort for midlands to wales?

 

gonna see what i can do,

 

need to replace,

 

calipers with wilwood ones

rear brakes with sierra discs

diff

leaf springs

all brake pipes

fit a servo tower

electronic ignition

new steering rack, track rods, lower arms

all the other bushes

probably need different wheels to go over the brakes :(

mot tax and insure it, all on an apprentiships wage

 

plus i plan on changing the capris engine, so the pinto might go into the escort.

 

too much too do and no money and not enough time.

 

thanks for the comments though, i like this car as i doubt there will be another one like it.
