Popular Post 666DAN Posted July 30, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2017 First thing on Monday I took the Hustlers to work as well as my other wheels to get the tyres fitted. I am stoked with the outcome. No tyre rub, car drives better and IMO looks better. I will leave that whole stance thing to someone else... I have also acquired 2.0L Pinto and 5 speed and now own the Hustlers. Fitted a new/secondhand L/F hub today. Mine was worn out to all fuck, dot punched the hell out of it and lock tighted when I replaced the wheels bearing but the race still spun Results were as expected when you change a fucked part for a good part. Stopped in and saw my workmate that was tinkering with his Kingswood wag and went for a small cruise around the mean streets of Whitby 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666DAN Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 So today I had a pleasant surprise turn up at work. A deal was struck a few months back for a 5 speed box, I had actually forgotten about it but today it turned up. My intention was to put it behind the 1600 kent and I probably will while I build up the parts to do the pinto conversion. So with that in mind I have started making lists of shit that I need and what will cater to both conversions. Sadly the box came with no bell housing If anyone in the OS community can hook a brother up with info, parts or just general know how it would be lovingly welcomed. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/50660-666dans-1980-mk2-escort-discussion/ Some more good news is the pinto and box are being picked up this weekend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666DAN Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Yay 2.0 and 5 speed arrived yesterday added bonus modified sump for escort came with the deal. So the puzzle is coming together, few more parts to gather before the conversion takes place though 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
