G'day Guys, been watching the forum for a while so thought I'd finally get some photos of my current and previous mk2 Escorts up. as a test to see whether I can post photos - a couple of my previous escort rallycar which was actually my 2nd rallycar after the first virtually fell apart.



this one only lasted a couple of events as I hit a stump fairly hard trying in vain to get on to a bridge which I half did but fell off in to a a shallow creek.

Right that worked.

heres the current one when I was building it.









Decided that if I was going to all the trouble of building a new one, I may as well do it the way I have always wanted to and put arches on it



Finished product prior to any events







did a couple of events in 2007






haven't competed since but started redoing the front suspension with comp. struts, drop links and adj. lower control arms. Hoep to finish that part of it soon and get out in a few events this year.

Would also like to get a bit more width in the rear. I'm currently running a modified B1600 Mazda diff which is strong as nails but not wide enough for me to fill the arches when the gravel wheels are on.

Its a shame about the first one. But the next one is excellent Great work!

top looking esky mate, i remember seeing this car at the alpine in 07 i was in car 9 looks awesome!

Thanks!

Great event the Alpine. I'm looking forward to competing in it again this year.

Cool car,
i thought i recognised it as i have a dvd of the 2007 Alpine Rallye in my collection..
Excellent

Welcome to the forum Rian.

Sucks about the first one but version 2 looks much better, great colour scheme.

So I take it your running under historic regs?

Some find examples of my driving on that dvd [:I] suffered a bit of spectator fever and forgot to listen to nav

running under classic rally car regs.. Main reason I went from PRC to CRC is that it gives the freedom to run the car arched and also to change the suspension setup - 4 link, comp. struts etc. It limits induction to carbies but I don't mind that so much.

hey Rian
This is another alpine shot that my service crew took
