My name is Russell Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Choice cheers for that Dan good to see some numbers I dove around in this thing for 2+ years. was an awesome truck got up to allot of sweet missions in it. always wanted a SWB one. just cant remember how it would of been for towing, seem to remember it being a bit sluggish due to the size of the thing i guess. Yeah used to get mine into some fairly narly mud for what it was also. way fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 being an escort owner that i am i have use both of mine for towing in the past when the little fords die lol and i must say that i found the manual of our swb good but the lwb auto seemed to pull so much better and a better ride in genral. the swb has fuck all room in the back and our lwb does now that we got shot of the 6 and 7 seater seats. to be honest mate i know its costly on the gas front but we will never sell ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I soooo need to do more work like you, it's great motivation (i.e. shame at how slack I am) . it's looking like you aren't thaaaaaaat far away now which is rather awesome. how far away from running is the engine? internally is it all done/standard?

Cheers, Yeah still got a fairly major to do list. driveshaft sills wiring rust role cage belts test everything to distruction then diss assemble for paint job. and that missing out all the small things. The engine had been fully re built and dynod @ 212Kw (have seen the dyno sheet also) proir to being removed from doner car so should be all dialed in and just need a light tune once i get everything in place. Really want her finnished but I muck about a bit really i start every night in the shed with no idea what im doing and normally end up creating more work for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatestben Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Was going to suggest getting the pairs as they are pretty much identical except they aren't joined at the hip. Atleast you can consider it if those give you trouble Wiring looks nice btw, I really wish I had taken more care getting lengths right with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I can't see the pic but I would expect the wire in question is the 12v bypass for the ballast resistor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 just brough me some FLEXTECH pipes so so so much better than any other shit on tardme! brought about eight pipes of random sellers but these ones look and feel significantly better quality. got 99% of engines wires sorted just need to sort feed of the key to tell everyone its party time and the engine should start. will get Duncy to go over the main wires before i start her up. Also its looking like i may require a new MK2 escort barrel and key if anyone has one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
