stu f Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 nice one, i'm in need of a few parts as well, think mine is the same, has a grille about 4 inches high
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 yer that the one mines all filler from the front of the bonnet to about 4 inches up the bonnet, but I have added rev counter dash ( that's a lot of fun to do as have to re wire the plugs), 3 spoke cosworth leather wheel dropped the front on 2wd spax psx, rears on mk2 escort leafs to get it low, car tires instead of truck ones lol, weber 38 piper 947 capri 4-2-1 manifold and twin 4 inch s/s rear rs acc front bumper skirt and im fitting the late hood top rounbd dash instead of the square one
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 oh a a door that's half fiberglass
stu f Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 had mine for nearly a year now, but only just started to do it last weekend, i just started to cut the front off mine, got to fit new cross member slam panel light yokes battery tray a couple of little patches on the floor. other than that its a standard 91 already got a rev counter but am hoping to do the following once time/money allow. banded wheels (to save chaing all the running gear) lowered (not too sure what parts to use, dont want to go silly low as i will be using it for fishing so will be going on dirt track etc) new bumper (not too sure what yet, but prob cossy) differentt trim engine mods 45's or bike set up cam (again not too sure) exhaust (again will prob have to be made as cant find anything to replace with) think thats about it, first things first tho, get the welding done, get the single weber (got) fitted as still got the original one on) then mot etc and a clean up, all the rest will have to come in the future. was looking at a v8 oone on ebay the other week, now pricing up what i need to do wish i had took a dive at it (it sold for £1650 taxed and motd) cant believe how hard it is to get the parts (replacement panels) had to pay through the nose for some of it as could not find any.
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 well till u get past the front doors its all sierra, I had the VV carb with the grill flappy thing that didn't work well, as started idleing at 2500 on its own and reving up I got some 4 stud hubs for the front just want a Cortina axle to convert the rear as mine top end is 110 at a guess its so short geared on these. the v8 idea I have played with as I have a rover v8 sitting here just need a box and the slip yoke for the prop 1
