wheres the fun in that? lol just slide around them =P

yeah it is fun.

well i went to suss out an exhaust leak on the 4 door. turns out there was a hole in the muffler. i ended up taking the whole system out ( stock pipes with no extractors) and replacing it with pacemaker extractors and a 2 inch system i had in the shed from the green 2 door.


has a nice note to it now, but most importantly there is no leaky exhaust noise anymore. yay

well now the 2 door is painted

( was stressing out about getting it done before the cold weather came to stay) i could turn my attention why the daily was running like $hiit.

it still ran but lacked power (got me to work. thats about all it did lol). turned out it was a burnt inlet valve on no3 cylinder.

soo off came the head and i replaced it with the one i removed from the 2 door. slightly bigger valves and double springs. its nice having 4 cylinders again haha.

anyway went for a drive today. found this little place. dunno where i was but there were a few very quiet intersections that the escort took to very nicely ;)




really needs fatter wheels to fill the guards and lower it abit. maby if i find some spare cash thats not getting thrown into the 2 door i will do it.

bit of an update
green 2 door is still in the build. slowest build in history.
 
the blue 4 door has gone. the silver 4 door has gone.  i actually only had one esky for a while there.
 
now have a yellow 1600 esky daily


 
another blue 4 door which i got off this forum. some may recognise it

cheers

Ah.. so that's where it ended up. What's the report on it? What have you done, and what plans do you have for it?

price was too good not to have a look. so i took a day off work and drove to Melbourne.  ended up getting it and towing it home that night.   it wouldnt start properly. had to disconnect sensors or squirt fuel into the manifold to get it to run.the seller thought it was faulty ECU, i took a educated guess that it wasnt.  after a bit of searching around it turned out to be a faulty TPS. thought it was full throttle all the time.  so it starts now and drives.  havnt driven it much. only around the block a few times. has a few oil leaks and needs a tune but over all im happy with it. it looks like all the mods have been done pretty well.
 
as for plans im thinking about trying to rego it. ive got approval from sa roads but still needs a bit of work, like ill have to put a standard ecu back in and change a few other things. still going thru the process of figuring out what ill do. it all comes down to money haha.
 
thought id add a pic of the interior

EFI ay. So what's under the hood?
