This is my fourth Escort, which I guess isn't bad for 16. I currently own 3 MK1's, this is the new road car. I also have a 4AGZE powered show car in the making, and an ex-rally car. I bought it engineless from a member at hot-escort.net, with plans to put the motor out of my rally car into it. (specs below) Honestly I don't know what's going to happen to this car in the long term, right now I just want to get it on the road so I can go cruising, then I'll worry about everything else. As is now "Kermit" Green Paint 15x7 Sapphire Cosworth Rims Alpine Stereo System Custom Interior Sports Exhaust Celica 5 Speed Gearbox Alloy Rollcage Clear Lenses Current Plan 15x7" Performance Superlites. Worked Pinto with twin 45's. Few little touch ups. Put "ESKIE" numberplates on. Get it out cruising![ )] Engine Balanced 2lt pinto. Vernier cam. GP1 valves. Twin 45 Webers. Double valve springs. Bored 30thou over. Anyway here's a couple of pictures as is, I'll take some better ones once the engine goes in and I can give it a good clean. It's got a custom boot install too, which I will try and get around to posting pictures of. Thanks for checking it out, Blake.

Will Update as I progress... first things first I want to get rid of the purple! anone know or good painters in Auckland? I want to get a good job done... Now for the cool part - BLACK WITH A YELLOW BATMAN SYMBOL ON THE BONNET!! Thought I would be different! Im also hunting round for a Sierra gearbox, if anyone can help me out ild be happy! Lastly, if anyone has a garage I could rent around the North shore, or within half an hour, that would be great. I live on a Navy base, so its hard doing anything serious to the car in the middle of a car park! Like I said, ill update as I progress.

Well I paid $300 for it about 3 years ago when I was 14 , it was red, rusty and neglected. Only had one owner, but he became unable to drive so it sat in his backyard for 7 years.... ) Done all the work on it myself to get it to the stage its at now: Sorry, no before pics as yet http://img45.echo.cx/my.php?image=317nm.jpg Pretty much fully stripped and rebuilt everything - suspension, brakes etc, so even the underbody is mint Its dropped 4" at the rear and 1" at the front, on cortina struts. The pinto should even up the ride height tho, if not then I'll raise the back an inch or so.... I just started the 2.0 litre, 5 spd conversion last weekend. Only got the block in there at the moment because im still finishing off the head. Also still need to get hold of the gearbox. Heres a couple of pics on its progress so far anyway: http://img20.echo.cx/my.php?image=2ltr1zi.png http://img51.echo.cx/my.php?image=2litre1ik.png They were taken from a phone, at night so theyre not the best quality. Also not the best angles because I had to avoid the glare from the light, so yea. Ill post up some better ones soon anyway.

NOTE TO NEWBS: No posting in users project threads. The place to post is their Project disccusion thread... here is the one to this project... http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewto ... 42&start=0 Brought it as a padock hack for $70.00 Converted it to round headlights with some other gaurds and gave it a quick primmer paint ready for a VIN. mmm new plates. Here it is soon after i got it. New primmer I then changed the 1300 to a 1600kent and put mk2 sport discs and adjustable suspension in and brought some new wheels. Sounds and GTX seats. New Wheels Got sick of the old Kent and went for a 2lpinto with a slight cam, rejetted carb and an exhaust system. The old girl could now leave decent rubber marks.... Time for a new paint job and sent it into the shop for a 6month metal spray in a custom silver/blue/gold/ pearl. Also changed the seats to SiR bucket seats. In painters Finished. Decided the 2l needed to go or a turbo bolted on so started sourcing parts and reaserching for pinto turbo. After a few months changed plan and decided that the turbo pinto was not quite enough power for me. I have now decided to take the car of the road for a year or two and do the mother of all conversions a SR20det. Have started to buy parts for this conversion and have a mechanic all lined up. Will keep you all updated as i get the car out of the garage and into the workshop to be sliced and diced.
