new to this site but had Escy's 4 a while , congrats on the purchase and i am sure u will love it

thanks mate, im already loving the transformation!

hey guys, had the diff rebuilt by cam automotive, he has done a brilliant job at a good price. Diff was shot though! next on the cards is port and polished head, chuck an exhaust on and continue straighting it up, then respray at the end of this year!!!

I welded a ring onto the bumper mount at the front, Rear is a bit harder try and find something of the chassis. Dont forget a lot of people use the loop of tow strap too.. but check you rules.
 

not much has happened with the escort lately, but have been making lots of phone calls, and lots of studying on what way i want to go with it:) rust is next on the list, and getting a quote in the following weeks, also holes down the side from the old mouldings filled, then want to have it resprayed by this christmas! also been thinking of what id like to do with the powerplant, still very undecided... was leaning towards doing some work to the 1600 and making a turbo setup, with a little garret turbo a mates got. will gets some more progress pics when some progress takes place:)

Hey Mezza,
 
Did you find out if your Dad is keen to make up some rally pack stripes.
 
I just bought a cheap set that was missing one of the Escort stripes on the back and need to get one.
 
As you're in Melb and yours looks good I am very keen.
 
Cheers

my mobiles 0422188835 if you want to contact me.
 

Hey Mezza,
Scratch that, I had another look and it appears as though it's a complete set so I won't need a set from you.
 
If you do get more made up, post a new topic you are doing so as, I am sure others would love a set too.
 
Posty more pics of the car with the stripes too.  Looks great!
 
The Escort bug has well and truly bitten.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt
