looks like its had the front cut out of it, maybe for an insnaely large engine to go

hey w8nsee do u have no reverse lights on your escort??

nah i reckon most 80s cars are ugly but i like sierra cosworths, they look badass

why is the engine so far back??? looks pretty weird, u could fit a couple of spare tyres in there

yea my cars going fine now jsut replaced the hosing and the elbow thing and clips except now (probably completely unrelated) when the clutch is in and i turn the steering wheel it makes a clicking sound and when i put the clutch in it makes a different sound compared to when its out rather odd but im gonna have a look at my clutch cable maybe its loose or something

chch is full of asians dont go there

That thing is actually capable of 116kph

and it redlines at 900 rpm..... 116kph at 900 rpm aint bad, lol

lol well it is a 8.8 litre engine so it should put out a bit of power, imagine how much gas it would suck through

yea man get the cortina, think about the rarity

well after that i ended up getting a type E instead of a type 3, hope the type E fits just as easily

nah i agree with miss_ae111, rangeys are badass offroad but suck onroad

do u just need to get an adapter plate?

does anyone know if a type 3 gearbox will go straight onto a 1600 crossflow?? i think it does but just wanna make sure. its the single rail version of a 2000E gearbox found, its found on cortina mk2, cortina mk3 1.3/1.6/1.6gt, cortina mk4/5 1.3,1.6(not gt), lotus cortina 69-, capri mk1 -8/72 1.6 OHV, capri mk1 2.0 v4 and sierra 1.6

ull have to modify at least one thing to get it in im sure

get a 70's landcruiser but rangey is badass too

just look what year it is, 68-74 is a mk1 escort and 75-80 is a mk2 escort, if it doesnt have the dogbone headlight then its definately a mk2

yea my mates gonna be there with a rotorised 1990 subaru legacy sedan hehe

actually not everyone has an asshole, when i was in hospital a few years ago there was a kid next to me with no hole and he had to go to get the shit sucked out once a week, twas gross and he spent the hole time screaming

if only it were a 2 door...

i wish i had money so i could afford to buy things

gas goes in one side and fumes come out the other, across flowing

if u want a gt or better then its probably cheapest to get one imported from the uk, have a look in the classic ford magazine, gt and 1300e escorts only ever came out in the uk so they are very rare over here but you can tell what they are usually by the tag in front of the front door, but otherwise it could be quite hard as 6 dial dashes can be put into the car, rs2000's can usually be defined by the large stripe going around the sides of the car and mexicos have a thin stripe going all the way around the car, lotus twin cams have a lotus emblem on the side and rear of the car, but if u cant tell then u may have to look at the plates or find out how the car may have modified, eg gearbox tunnel enlargement or gearstick lever movement, the person selling should know what sort of car it is anyway, only AVO cars have a different chassis but not all rs's and mexico's are are AVO cars such as most rs1600's that were built before boreham was built, the only real discernable difference though is the front gaurds are slightly more flared than usual, the other AVO changes are just strengthening plates which were welded in and are very hard to find, but again you could have normal mk1 gaurds panel beated to look just like AVO gaurds, theres some guy in new zealand who even bought a rs1600 with a dead shell and just bought a 2 door 1100 shell and rebuilt and rebadged it so sometimes it may be very hard to tell, he has a website but i forgot what it is

damn thats badly written
