jethronoose Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Guys, Hi i trust all mis well? Im just new and this is my first post, i Have finally purchased my life long dream, a MK 1 escort 1969 that has been prepared for GRP4 but will not be killed on a rally. The car which i will post pictures sometime over the weekend is without engine, gearbox, and diff! I had been thinking of YB but the costs are silly as been quoted by a number of contacts on E-bay! So i am at a crossroads to either /YB or now looking at ST170? Help? I know the Retroford fitting kits are not cheap either but do not want to go spending a massive amount as there are still lots of parts to buy? Oh and im trying to get hold of a 2.8 capri axle and diff if anyone has one lying around, you know the LSD one that people keep asking for £500 for?
theloudboy Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Hello and welcome jethronoose, i would say think long and hard, read the projects thread and ask lots of Qs, no one wants to buy something they ain't gonna use or need mate. How much money and what you want out of the car will choose what you get.
theloudboy Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 Have you posted up anything about your car yet, been looking i got a Y/B in my mk2 and was wondering what you was gonna do with yours.
jethronoose Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 Now mate, Not got pictures just yet.... Im off shore until about 4th October so will be getting some pics for the forum and hopefully get some advice on moving on. I have decided to ST 170 it after getting Peeved off by folk wanting silly money for something that could be on its last legs. I was thinking of cutting out the hassle with searching for parts to get the ST Zetec facing the right way and was going to bite the bullit and visit RF and get a nice parcel delivered. Having a nightmare getting hold of a decent axle and diff without having to sell my sole.... Any help would be great as once i get it on axle i can get it rolling. I have a bubble arched MK1 so will take a capri LSD (Yeah if i can get hold of one) I have brand new 8x15j Minilights from JBW still in the box! Just spent £1068 at rally Design on seats, front brake kit (Wilwood 285mm Dynalites) and some other little bits and bobs ready to go in it..... Still sourcing an engine and box but not in a rush until i can pounce on it and go get it there and then.......Watch this space
