    If I didn't have a mk 1 escort, I would have a mk 3 cortina.
    Awesome job you have done with the ride height.

    What are your plans for it ??
    I will be following this thread

    Ok well the plans are,

    1/ rebuild the motor with a RCL Race kit, a cam that is sitting in the shed will go in, heavy valve springs (have them as well), roller rockers, new zorst.

    2/ All the Suspension will be coming out (again) and new stuff will be put in (coil overs, bushes, swaybars).

    3/ New front seats & rear seat redone

    4/ rewire most of the car (just coz)

    5/ Full respray when everything else is done.

    May not get done in that order (apart from the respray)
    Any work that gets done will be slow as at the moment its in Sydney and i'm in Perth. And i have just finished getting my house built so a lot of money will be going into that. But when it gets here work will be done.
