lol thanks well i cut my sump but my friends dad attempted to weild it ive been thinkin of ways i can do it with a arc weilder but it seems imposible y do they have to make sumps so weak if i had a mig weilder it would of been somuch easier but as im on a tight budget of nothing at the moment im useing what i can get my hands on oh id never replace the pinto with a honda engine anyone who does deserves to be shot oh ill put another pic of the muffler up i think there twin 5inch tips cost me bout $170 i think

yeah i allready have a manual but yeah ill see what i can work out today thanks

its still abit ruff here i haddnt finished sandin it and polished it 3 times with autosoul after came up really good

ill put some more pics of the car up when i have the engine in there sorry if i put tomany up lol

hey well i got my hands on a 1976 mk2 escort acouple months back and have slowly been doing stuf to it putting a pinto and sierra 5spd in it it has been a pretty straight forward conversion the gearbox bolted straight in and driveshaft i used the radiator out of the sierra and put the filler bottle under the front guard convertin the pedal box was easy just used parts off the sierra one and reshaped one of the pedals im useing the cortina mags that came with it currently polishing them up have finished one and it took me ruffly 20 hrs im modifying the sump and its not easy with a arc weilder i think im gona get some one else to do it for me with a mig carnt be botherd anymore lol i dont think i could of fit a bigger radiator in there if i tryed have a look at the pics tell me what you think

thanks for that heres some pics and some extra's http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/7320/0561yl.jpg http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0581vw.jpg http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0635nq.jpg how this helps im gona put some more pics up in another thread as my project car so yeah have a look when i have cheers

well i got the cam to work and took some pictures but i dnt know how to put them on here i actually think some one has had my dash apart b4 i got the car so i might want to check it out who knows what they may of done when i got it it had a v6 in it so i have no idea if he has changed the wireing loom or anything this round metal thing with 4 plugs is most likely the thing that i need to plug in but i carnt see where it would plug in it says MIXO 12v on it and had 2 blacks one red and one brown wire comeing out in to another loom it might not even b4 for my escort if i could put some pics up it would be alot easyer

hmmm well i done it but it may not be correct there are some wires where i do not know where they go the engine isnt actually in there yet i was just checking the electrics but yeah ill try get some pictures up ive tryed useing a wireing diagram out of the manual to work it out but the colours arnt the same as wat the book says i wouldnt think anything else would work if i wired it up wrong maybe theres a fault in the lights there is allso some round metal thing i forget wat its called lol i think it might be a voltage relgulator or something to do with the lights if only it actually siad ill go attempt to find some batterys for my digtal cam and take some pics cheers

hey im a new member here i have a 1976 mk2 escort and i am doing a 2ltr conversion on it im abit confused on the wireing tho i cant seem to get the headlights to work but i can get tail lights/ rear indicators and reverse lights to work one of the lights at the front is on permanently i think its a park light and the front indicators are permanently on the car was originarly a auto but ive converted it to a manual 5sp sierra box just wondering if anyone would have any idea whats wrong with my wireing im thinking maybe something has burnt out ive checked the fuse's and there all good some red light came up on the dash like a lightlin bolt with a arrow on it i was thinking that might be a warning light but i wouldnt know never had the battery hooked up before thanks oh and theres a blue light permanently on the dash even with the ignition turned off
