i have copied this from another forum but though people would to see it on here there will be abit of a dump of posts .a little bit about the car this is as it sat as of a couple of days ago it had a 1600 bored 40 thou, ported head, mild cam, twin side draft dellortos,celica 5 speed, escort diff, gt front brakes, lowered, 15 inch superlites, painted porsche ascot green done in my drive way, some nissan seats a few custom fibre glass bits in side , pair of 15 inch fusion subs amp couple of down lights in the boot. ive done every thing on the car except exhaust and wheel alignment. i managed to get a photo shoot with street machine ford magazine a few years ago
now the next stage i purchesed a mondeo and stripped the motor and few other bits out of and the rest went to scrap metal
then the motor come out of the cortina
and in with the zetec
its in the engine bay but thats about it i was hoping the inlet was going to fit but no luck an no go on the exhaust manifold or the sump so me being a tight ass these will be made or some thing else modified to fit so progress will be slow from here.

Well lets say my blood runs nearly blue I have always had ford's falcon's esp's fairmont's you know the big 8's but always had a love of the small cars well now i have no space to do a project on a big car so thought perfect i'll build a mk1 esky always wanted to do a conversion not sure yet what engine ford or jap I did have early e30 bmw with a ca18det in it.
So if you see any noob questions please be patients as I have limited knowledge of these beasts but really wanna get into the scene.
Regards Boza

Hi All
Top tip, with us being such a throw away society these days and electrical goods just lasting the warranty, when the go wrong I strip them for useful fixings before i take them to the skip or for roadside collection. Washing machines/ dishwashers are great as they are mostly stainless fixings hose clamps etc, even a dvd player has heaps of self tappers etc
Another tip if you have kids give them a few tools and let them do it, this way you keep the missus happy cause your occupying the kids, kids are busy therefore you can get on with your own projects, and all the time they are building your supply of bits up

Just stumbled across this on 7Mate this afternoon at around 2pm, and it was no doubt the pinnacle of all documentaries to be shown!!
"Story of the RS Fords"
RS Mk1, and Mk2 Escorts getting it sideways with rally footage from the 70's + heaps more - right up to today's RS Focus!
Anyway, you're probably thinking what's the point of telling you now since it's finished..
well, I searched the TV Guide, and they are re-playing it at 4am tomorrow morning (SA time) on 7Mate (channel 73)
And these days with PVR's, just setup the recorder, go to bed, and watch it tomorrow!
DEFINITELY WORTH IT... I caught 3/4 of the one shown this avo, and it was just Fantastic - interviews Ford Engineers and so on!!!!
CHECK IT OUT!!
Cheers,
KJ :-)
