steve mk2 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 that looks wikid mate !!!!!! very nice. puts mine to shame. u got any plans for it?
MK2 Gaz Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Posted September 23, 2006 Gonna have to make a new exhaust at work before dec as have multiple holes, doesn't sound like its blowing on the manifold so thats good... Would like to get the steels blasted and painted up, thinking black at the mo, toyed with alloys figured id do something different. Oh and figure out why it feels like the steering wheel's gonna be wrenched out of my hands at 30-40mph, not the wheel balance as did that myself this morning at work, so may go in tomorrow on day off and track it up...
steve mk2 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 it does look the nuts i love four doors !

Old skool accessory of pye tape player too - but i dont know if it works as i have no cassettes, gutted!!!

mk1super Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Lovely example mate you must be proud!
deluxe Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Oh and figure out why it feels like the steering wheel's gonna be wrenched out of my hands at 30-40mph, not the wheel balance as did that myself this morning at work, so may go in tomorrow on day off and track it up... inner or outer track control arm bushes?
MK2 Gaz Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Posted September 23, 2006 Could be, i'll be able to see more when i get it on the ramp, only picked it up fri night and its my first old ford so don't know my way around it too well yet!!! Any pointers welcome, may start a thread in mech tech...
Ratters Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 That looks in great condition Gaz Don't think black wheels will suit it though imo Do them a silver colour.
4parajon Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 Looks very nice mate...but cant you read....ya can't park there
perry Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 very nice , i will have another 4 door one day
MK2 Gaz Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Posted September 24, 2006 Looks very nice mate...but cant you read....ya can't park there I guess i should add a bit saying "unless you live here" - its ok, is me shed!!!
LUKE261 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 that looks really clean mate, looks 2 good 2 modify really!!! its nice 2 have a stock as rock ghia tho as i reckon in standard form like that they will be worth some value soon, id fix all the blemishes and blow bit of paint round them, and stick it in a shed, nahhhhh modify it thats what escorts are for arent they? nice 1 gaz! do your wheels siver, with black bits around the square holes like pic below, look really cool!!
joev8 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Lovely nice clean car. not many around in that condition
MK2 Gaz Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 UPDATE>>> The mystery wobble tuened out to be a dodgy bolt that had worked loose where the arm meets the chassis - ooer couldve basically lost my steering if it had come off, so thats been replaced with a locking one!!! Exhaust backbox has been welded and joint between front and mid sections cleaned up and gasket replaced, sounds MILES better. Cheers Gaz
antz Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 that is one hell of a clean car! i love it! cant beat a good 4 door and yours looks lushious! (ever noticed 99% of old escorts have an AA badge?...mine had one and i knwo fo a couple of other people that had one on. )
atomic punk Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Same colour as my old Popular - like that a lot A former Portsmouth car too judging by the plate
MK2 Gaz Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 Same colour as my old Popular - like that a lot A former Portsmouth car too judging by the plate Hendy Lennox Ford of Southampton Well spotted!
MK2 Gaz Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Posted November 2, 2006 UPDATE>>> Now minus non working pye cassette player and badly fitting centre console, looked pants so removed them, Fitted some firestone's on front and the part worn kumho's moved to the rear, De gunked with engine flush, changed oil and filter, AND today myself and my workmate roy fitted a brand new Peter Lloyd 4branch manifold and complete system, which fitted a treat, and sounds like a frikkin BEAST, get some pics up when get batterys charged in digicam... (Should this be moved to projects/resorations as thats the way its going? up to mods, dont mind if you move rather than me startin loads of threads?!!!) Cheers Gaz
