427carguy Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Finally got around to doing some more work on the car today! Put a top mount on the blower Made a bit of a battery box for the boot (still needs to be bolted in) And mocked up the pipe work from the blower to inlet manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

427carguy Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Well I havent posted on here lately because progress has been slow, But any way Ill show you guys what has been done, Firstly rust!!! Repairing the typical escort firewall Once I removed the old battery box I relised under it was rotted out so had to replace that Next rust on the to do list is the floor, But there is only a little bit to do there so shouldnt take to long. Moutned the battery properly in the boot Made a parcel tray to hide some sweet speakers I hate woodgrain so I carbon fibered all of that The other day I desprung the front and it sat at the right height so im going to have to make some adjustables, Does any one know of a shorter insert that fits into a mk2 escort strut body???

427carguy Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 I thought I had better do an update as its been a while. I sort of lost interest in the esky but then decided I would get it going for nats which I didnt quite get it to, But it is now on the road and legal ish by this I mean it has a warrent.... It is now running a bog standard 1300 xflow engine with an sc12 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
