My guestimate may be wrong but retro ford inthe uk have fitting kits with sump and mount s and water rail etc for 910pounds. So 2k our money ish(didnt check exchange rate) its tempting to do myself.

Aaaaand ive just clicked thatthis is on. Which means every last hotelor bach is gone..... waaay gone. Missed it again

Although thats probally the coolest way to go i doubt it would fit the budget of your average olscholler. I recon a $500 escort/mondeo and ship a zetec-rwd scort kit out of the uk. Gota spend ya less than 3k to get it in and driving

Is this weekend too soon?

Yep id say that would be a good base for 1600. Any further than that and i would 'charge it one way or the other. Or bite the bullet and zetec the shit out of it. The cost of machining ans decent parts and tuning and still need a cert. Will most likely be on par with buying a donor fwd escort and transplanting the zetec.

Get out wuththe mazda into ford talk..... I used to run 1300 and it was fun ina way thatyoucould really workit but notb going fast enough to over do it. Now 1600 is faster. But dont expect to pushed into your seat or get a sore neck from the acceleration. (Chicks will get a sore neck trying to se whos driving the sweet escort tho). Im running standard bore. Lumpyish cam. Sorry dont know specs. Have a gt head with stndard size valves, a fancypants intake manifold and twinchoke webber and extractors. I had twinsideys but unless they are mint and set up perfect they are pigs. 32/36 webber is so nice to drive after battling with the dellortos. Electronic ignition definately. I wouldnt do a 5 speed conversion again.first gear is uselesswith standard diff and you have to chop the car up to fitit Just change diff ratio.

Some where with bbq facilities and flushing loos. Im thinking wenderholm just north of orewa but thats coz its local and im lazy. Any other suggestions?

Was talking with the boss last night and we stumbled upon the idea of a casual weekend camp or even just a day bbq for those of us that have rugrats or are also at a stage of growth in their lives. Like a normal get to gether but with family stuff instead of grass skids. Yeah or nah?

^ sounds like a good idea.sockets and sumps dont mix kids

I had todrill out my top mounts to fit roller tops. And its been mentiined many times that mk1 golf insert fits

Big love to leebo. What a guy.

Flights booked. Took the booring option. Still get to drive the wifes newcar back from vegas. 1.3 auto. Mk2 escort its not guna be a dast drive

Hi all. Currently working on a deal to pick up a new vehicle this weekend. Plan a is to fly down to vegas and pick it up but i thaught in the spirit of old school id put it out there any of the collective fancy driving down for shits and giggles?
