Badgerman85 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Its been a long time since I've posted anything on hear, some of you may remember me! After a few years of neglecting the escort the time has come to finally get it back out on the road! First thing to address is the ignition system as the issues it has with turning left! Next is to get a high torque starter motor on there, tidy up the engine wiring and rear light wiring, sort the sticky brakes and get some new front tyres and it should be pretty much ready to go! Aiming to have it ready for late June early July! If anyone local fancies offering a hand or some advice with the wiring it would be massively appreciated as I'm not as clued up as I used to be on the old girl!! Hope to see many of you again soon as it's been far far too long!! 3

D-FENS Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 I think it was you that recomended Eset Nod anti virus when i asked for advice .I got it a couple of years ago but never instaled it .I have been using Avira since then .I have never had any problems so would you say its worth instaling it or is Avira best left on .My ancient PC is about 8 years old and runs Windows XP service pack 3 .
