I'd go see Palmside in CHCH (assuming they are still in business) as they knew almost everything about Escorts that there was to know

I went into palmside yetsreday arvo and Simon in there said that they're coilovers they make for their group 4 escorts cant be certed? Something to do with the gussets on the bottom of the tubes... Wasn't sure about that as I've seen lots of sets of certed coilovers on here and then the people at Stock said that wasn't right either... 

Have you considered.....

Haha however this is a sick tractor amazing find 

Cheers again for the work on the escort, great job and done quickly.. Definitely recommended for others wanting panel work done 

Would have liked to come and meet you guys... But my escort is stuck in my driveway because of frigging roadworks, next month though?

Did anyone check out the twin rivers run?

I'm keen, will deff try make it but may be away hiking. Would be cool to meet some of you guys

Hi I'm a long time member but haven't been to many / any OSmeetups in years... Would deff be interested in the BBQ at Orton Bradley on the 3rd. Will it still be 10am at Speights Ale house?

Cheers Nick

Cheers thanks for that man, and where abouts did you get those flares from? Are they hand made or an off the shelf units?

Hey I was wanting to know if anyone knew of a decent panel shop in chch that could carry out a decent flaring job on my mk1 escort???

I'm wanting to go for mexico style flares and I want it done properly so it will last...No bog over bolt on flares etc...

Any info or help would be great thanks.

Dude there soooooooooo tight!

Oh sick i'm keen as and it's 2min walk from my work but might not make it as the missus is up for the weekend.

The twisted hop is down poplar lane which runs between tuam st and leichfield st, just behind high st.

I'd be down for the twisted hop aswell....

Iv'e only ever dealt with magoo on riccarton rd as i knew someone who worked there, they've always done reasonably good work and as far as i know seem reasonably cheap, $400 for the full system in my escort that included a reasonator and muffler.

Maybe try ringing round for some basic qoutes or something?

Im all ready for something as soon as i check the electrics in my esky, been putting it off for like 2 months now

So just whenever, but im happy to wait the more is definately the merrier!

I'm in CHCH also, and i reckon it would be mint if we could organise a meet up sometime in the near future, just gota get the escort up and running lol.

An idea that i looked into a couple of years ago was the mazda mx5 b6 engine, cheaper than shaggin about tryin to fit another head to the kent block and as far as compared to a 4age already in the rear wheel drive layout + with gearbox

I've been through a couple aswell mate, one of which was out of a ghia which i've been told are a prety good diff, whether or not there stronger i duno but yeah not that string i found haha

its coming along mate had friends out from the uk so havnt realy done much in the past month .hoping to get most of the inside done this weekend .i got all the sounds made up and in just want to get it painted.

im in chch so if you want a hand just give me a pm mate.

Cool sounds good, cant wait to see it, and yea thanks mate.

p.s what motor are you running?

Ah its running a 1600 711m block with a lightened balanced bottom end etc.... cam, head work and 40mm dellorto dlha's.

And so hows ya van coming along? haven't seen an update in a while, is lookin pretty sweet.

And thanks for ya help peoples ill have a look into it this w.e..

Hey was wanting to know if anyone has any idea why my escort wont run??

Basically start it up and it runs mint, then after about 5mins once its warmed up it dies and nothing works, no lights, horn etc..... After its cooled down again it starts back up fine until it heats up and dies again..

So if anyone has any suggestions i would be stoaked 2 here em.

cheers

Give stewart steel a try think they're steel and tube anyway.

Was wanting to know if anyone could give me any info on how to do this conversion? I know that round headlight front panels are available from palmside motors but am interested to find out if that can be avoided....

Any info or tips would be appreaciated. cheers.
