 Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 9:19 pm Post subject: tickford_6 MK1 escort build thread...now with pics |
 |
|
finaly a 4cyl section, although it may take time to become a fast moving thing.
anyway one to the point of this thread.
I needed some where to post the progress of the build and the other forums are full of the same stuff, so i figure here is a good place.
It all started when i was GIVEN a pair MK1 escorts. one as a none rolling shell, the other as a roller with a few extras like glass some lights and few other bits.
I also scored a MK1 panel van with a 4spd box and 1600 pushrod engine.
Over time I've rounded up a few other bits like a semi complete MK2 2 door, a 2L zetec engine from a 1998 mondeo, and a number of 1600 engine and 2L engine and parts.
the plan is to build a road registered car to run in the local hill climb and spint races.
So far work has revolved around stripping the needed parts from the donor cars, and getting the shed ready to take the shell that the build will be based on.
here are the pics
this is what my place looked like about 3 months ago.
the brown car is gone after donating anything that wasn't rusted. including boot lid, bonnet, heater 'bubble' from engine bay, glass and few small item.
the green panel van is 3/4 stripped now, though to clear up some space i might do a front cut on it and store the front end in my container.
the red MK2 will give up it's front end and it's diff

mild cam upgrade and some side drought carbs. I'll have to make the extractors and run a programable igntion, looking at a megajolt, as it will run the mondeo coils and use the mondeo crank sensor.
should be good for about 180hp. at less then a third the cost of builing a 180hp pinto. |

talk about a slow moving forum. lol
progress has been set back by another week. a good friend of ours came home from a work trip to find half the sump oil from her magna on the driveway. so this weekend i'll be sorting that out for her and doing nothing on the escorts at all. at this rate it'll never be done |

What is the panel van body like, other than the standard heater box rust and maybe floor due to that rust.
I would love to own another Esky panel van for a run around, cheap to own and much fun. |
