RSMEXICO Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi, Just bought a Mk1 escort off my bro who's now living in Australia and decided to sell up, so I decided it's my turn to finish the escort off and get it back on the road. He did a lot to get it to where it is, new guards and panels, freshly rebuilt GT Spec 1600 cross flow, RS dash, etc, etc... I look forward continuing the work and to keeping the build updated on this website and encourage comments, thoughts and any help that can get this classic back on the road! Cheers, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMEXICO Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 The car while owned by my bro. Fresh paint with guards welded on. Pretty straight and rust free! Freshly rebuilt Kent Crossflow 1600. - new rings, gt spec cam, polished ports, gt weber carb, flows. Started to be put back together... Not too bad. I think I'd like to reblock and spray again. My dream was always diamond white with black Mexico decals. This is the state I got the car in. About 5 years of being locked up in a water tight shed... A rat families home... Lovely. - note the strut bolt holes... Someone prior to us owing it had a great idea of drilling new holes...??!! WTF - cheap camber? Recommendations?? Into my shed it goes... Where to start..! My dream of owning another escort has now become reality. Now it's just a matter of time and money... I'll keep ya posted! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
