Anyway I went on holiday got a new car blah blah blah blah and the build got put on hold for a couple months becos I was lazy and living that slammed euro lyffffff yoooo, and ended up spending a fair bit of cash on unnecessary things

So my good friend Ashton, who puts up with all my shit and questions (thx g) kindly offered while he was on acc was to bolt these all up and sort them out and the end result was suppppper pleasing to see so thanks to the man

WOAH COOL 

So I had a friend who was doing a thing but ended up needing money (he had a cortina so not wildly different motors at least) 

Anyway, I ended up buying his set up which was farkin sweet 

So originally I was planning to run side drafts BUT I didn't want to be the typical escort, so I ended up buying most of the things to a fuel injection set up using 

-4 age itbs 

-link ecu 

-(bought these on my own but Ford KA coil packs)

and a couple other bits and pieces necessary.

Picked up a pretty nice race head for $40 that had double vale springs and 3 degree angle cut valves so pretty stoked with that. 

Woo! Got my engine back finally.

Done a pretty fantastic job, looks super grouse. 

Got the guys to do the bottom end so covered under warranty

all the USUAL kinda mods 244 cam, high compression, balanced, lightened - you know the routine...

1300 pistons on 1600 rods. 1600 crank and nice set of bearings. Decked block .30 thou? Cant remember off top of head

Bought these today which are soooooper cool. Twin 36 dellorto downdrafts, such an awesome set up. unfortunately never got to run on my car but ran on a friends car and ran super mint, sounded the bees knees.

All dort and some go haha

Done a tonne of little bits in the interior. few rust repairs. A lot of my photos are on my old phone which is no longer with us unfortunately ahhaahha

Wiring in a factory '1600 Sport' dash which including rewiring a few plugs 

Had a pretty f**cked night the night before I went installing it sooooo kinda wired it wrong and well, you get the picture hahah..

Ended up wiring the 12v coming in from the coil into the wrong tab and attaching my negative coil wire to it and essentially sort circuiting it. Lol. My bad

So first off I bought that car as my first car.. started out as a 1.3L Automatic which I drove around for a year before finally having enough and thrashing it around. Icracked and warped the head on the old 1.3. found a nice running 1600 that had been very well used. 

Ended up warping that head too. so had to rebuild.

Done 

So we have my lil 76 Escort here. which has been a looooong build in progres. About 5 years in the making. over the next couple of days I will be making a full build thread but this is the first post.. so enjoy
