Nice pair. the Orange one needs a White sun visor.
Are you going to Canberra this year for the Capri muster?
Your super charged set up was a high light last time.

Thanks all love the comments ! apart from my love of Escorts its a real motivation to get positive feedback from guys with a similar interest.
ESK-74 - Original 1975 colour pretty sure its bananna beige, have had the front resprayed in 2pak the boot and the bonnet is original duco and the rest is acryilic ! paint job from about 8 years ago.
Red Pepper - 205/45/16 tyres dude, you have the same pair as me !
Maxrs - Know of the location of a sunvisor but my father in-law just wont part with it, planning on going to canberra again I enjoyed it, now live 8 hours away in Tamworth so will probably just come in the Orange one, there are a few new additions coming up as my father in law is waiting for his MK1 2 Door to be delivered, its been freshly sprayed and we just have to slot his rebuilt 1600 w/twin su's, extractors, 2 1/2 system & Sierra 5 Speed and get it rego'd, then my parents have just bought a corner store and we need a truck with a bill board sign to park on the highway so seeing a bloke next week about a transit truck MK1 with the long snout its got the 6 Cyl Falcon motor in it, gonna extend the tray to fit a car on tha back and one to tow ! then I gotta get my RS rego'd it just needs to go to the paint shop for some touch ups. Its all happening !

I'd love to see the orange one down in Canberra. Where was that car from originally? Looks like one that was up for sale in Canberra a couple of years ago. You don't see many with the white roof.

Excellent, will be good to check it out. Looks awesome from the photos.
I was going to buy it but had to convince the wife it was a good idea, by that afternoon it was too late. Ah well, I'm glad the car went to a good home in the end.

both of them look awsome, and the 2 door looks tough as! i have to get my arse into gear and finish my mk1
those Simmons make me want to get some even more now, btw do you know what offset you have on the Simmons?

Nice man... Dont you think the Banana beige will make it down [88]
Lol What's the orange one running again? was it a single 45? or was that the Mk2?
Been a long time since I've seen the Super Scort

No rego, but its running real good just gonna do a few events this year until the new motor is ready I will have steve the mechanic with me anyway, orange car is just running a GT manifold with 32/36 but is super reliable so it will be making the journey.
Its just not real fast.

This is my original forum projects post;
http://classic-ford.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1163&whichpage=1&SearchTerms=escort
Some pics there and the specs, just concentrating on competing in the beige car this year and trying to get my RS on the road. Couple of drift events and some hill climbing plus some circut work on an old airfield, fingers crossed.
