Project '78

[4parajon]

Ben

In the latest mag you've done the part 2 of your Fostek axle for Project '78 but I thought you had sold Project'78????? or was it just the engine you put in the Focus (if I remember correctly) and you have kept the car and just putting a different engine in it??

I hope no-one jumps on this thread trying to stir the shit like the last time, I'm asking because I enjoyed reading the articles and what your plans were for the car, but if you sold the car how come your still doing the articles or eveyone knows but me and Ive missed something

Cheers

He's been a busy boy the last couple of weeks... Moving in with his missus, cutting the end off his finger and all that caper

Was that one of the conditions for moving in with her then, cutting the end of his finger off, seems a bit strong that

[Morley]

Yeah, i thought that too but i guess love knows no boundaries!!!

It's almost romantic.

Almost

[Mk2Jo]

I did the best i could given my knowledge of the situation and the proximity of Mr Birch to myself at this moment in time (I'm in Sevenoaks, he is in Bookham)

My Anglia will be faster anyway

bumptitybump to the original question please

[PIG]

got rid of it and alot of the bits aint he,i may be wrong tho

[Guest MK1gaz]

It's too expensive to convert an escort mk2 to take the power + torque of his engine so it's easier and cheaper to use a newer bodyshell instead . A bit like Steve Scott done with the A1 rallysport fiesta etc . There's lots of cossie turbo old escorts etc anyway so losing one doesn't really mater , it's his money at the end of the day . He's got a 2.8 capri as well and Morleys got lots of classics for him to share ...........

See I thought it was just the engine he got rid of, thats why I was asking

I agree completely it is his money and he can do what he likes with it, I was just wondering why they were atill doing the articles if he has sold up...or not...I dont know, hence the question.

As for the "lots of cossie turbo old escorts" well this was the first build of one fully documented in one of the mags (as far as I know) and was enjoying it, so it mattered to me

[Guest MK1gaz]

Yes mate it's a shame that the mag didn't stick with the mk2 escort cossie project but it's not the mags car it's Ben Birches personal project i think . It's so much easier to install this sort of power into a rust free modern bodyshell compared to an old escort that he made the right decision really . He could make it 4WD now as well which would stop it wheelspinning for half a mile !!!!!!!!
