I hope kiwi808 is gonna come so the 808s can show the Escorts what's up

Last month we made it to and from Nelson Nationals with only minor problems that were unpredictable such as the windscreen cracking 30 minutes into the drive haha. Nevertheless we carried on for an awesome event, pics credit to yoeddys and Dave Roman. The all girls grasskhana gang (Karl BDA780 and Shaarn S I C) I've now made it my resolution to take it out at least once a week for peace of mind /see what needs fixing when WOF is due to renew which includes windscreen, wiring, emptying tank, aaaaand maybe a touch of lower. Last night's cruise around town stock photo

These meets have been lacking rotor pulsing hard g so maybe I'll fix that issue

Good job rookie I guess I'll go lower too just so Maria can still be impressed

Awesome work Manu 10/10

Haha I was busy looking at your ute! Thanks was good to get it down and back with minimal problems

Thank you! It was such a chance encounter! Karl snapped a pic of the car looking over at rx3 drag car too.

This one I'm buying today is from NZKW performance parts so I'm assuming it's the right one And cheers nzed for the offer, was a good deal! Let you know how this one goes

PM'd cheers

I need it tomorrow to rush fit it Weds so I'll pay him tomorrow. Until then if anyone has RX3 or 808 oil cooler for cheaper by all means I'll go that way.

Bought a $245 oil cooler just for getting the car to nats

I have bigger problems than the ride height at the moment

I got the radiator core replaced on Thursday

Drives really well, I got used to it fairly quickly so we decided to make the most of it. BDA780, S I C, punkout and I took it up through northern Waiwera roads late last night to run it in, and then this morning Karl and I took it down to Leadfoot Ranch to surprise visit Rodney and go for a little blast up the hill. Pics for evidence:

congrats sheepers!! know exactly how you must be feeling!

After Saturday it was decided the leaky radiator was not a quick fix so it's currently having coils replaced or otherwise will have to be a complete replacement (fingers crossed we find out tomorrow)Also it doesn't idle well so trying to suss that out You may wanna check my handbrake cover out first shoelace tightening may not be what you're after haha but otherwise I'm more than happy to help you out

Haha I wanted more things to do so polished for first time since having it painted

Explanation time: I had a 3 month university break so I decided to get the car progressing along at a nice pace, nearly every week day or evening since New Years but I had no idea that I would actually finish it haha. Big hold back was the alarm wiring but with a couple of hours and beers, sheepers and Nick from Ron Wood Auto Electrical managed to do an awesome job and tidy it up (and get kicks out of cutting holes in the body aye sheepers). After that I got this crazy motivation that involved putting the majority of it back together alone to the best standard I could without spending bucketloads of money. My favourite time was when Dad was resting and he woke up to me struggling to sneak out the passengers seat to put it in and surprise him although his comment was "I never knew someone could hit so many walls and doors carrying a seat", good job Amy. In the process I also ended up making a lot of things that we didn't have like a handbrake boot cover, the boot backing and carpet, vinyl cover under the rear seat, and a tool roll with the leftover vinyl. So that's basically the quick rundown, would not have been finished without the help of many people but especially credited to Mum, Dad, Karl, and Bernie/Earl McFarlane. Finally, here's a pic of the beginning of moving it/hurting face with smiles:

Took it out for first run in today, face is sore from smiling.

Rookie you just wanna make her a rota hoe. She is most welcome!

You can claim title as first viewer of the complete car

Not mail order but cheers for making it look dodgy 10/10
