mikuni Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Looks like it could be a write off but atleast its still all there. Does it pull to the left/right when driving or anything? When you get it back take off any good parts that you want to hang on to, weld up rear doors, pull out glass and mash some crazy engine in there for practice/epic race car/something cool and fun to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Top notch boe, that's some fast work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yup yup. Figured might as well get engine off the floor where its been for at least 1.5 years taking up garage space. Had to make up one engine mount cause have lost one so will prob look for another ca one. Also prob going to move back 2inchs and prob down .5-1 inch, chop sump a bit. Engine bay doesnt look as huge now with engine in it so thats great. So yeah thats prob the busiest 8days working on cars Ive ever done, back to uni work now.. Have an assignment due on Tues that Ive only half done... need a few weeks of assignments. Also decided to prob tackle job by job on escort and get it sorted properly like that. Save doing things twice.,.. soo, will finish sorting engine and mounts etc then prob move to either the boot or the fuel setup. Also in next month or so car goes in to mates sign writing to get stickered up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
