iv got a mk2 escort for my 1st car currently bring it back 2 its former glory.. was hoping it wouldn't take so much effort
Its got a 2L pinto which is slowly dieing but i think all the rust is now gone which im happy about

it wont let me upload my pics [:(!] so wen i get back from work i'll giv it another go..

Im currently looking into either rebuilding a pinto with turbo power [:p] or putting in a SR20DET but im still not sure wat path to go down because my funds arent the best atm.. any advice would be grand

cheers

Sounds good, I had the same first car

You have to shrink the size of the photos down or alternatively use photobucket.com to host the photos for you and then you can put the links to it up here.

Cheers,

Damion.

Welcome to the forum paddy, Very nice example for a first car My first was a green 4door mk2 but was only a project. Keep going on her and im sure she will look great when done

Great choice for first car. Looks good.

Good luck with the build and keep the photos coming.

Cheers guys

can anyone help me with my engine choice??? its between rebuilding a turbo'd pinto or putting SR20DET.. bretty much looking for the better power/cost ratio

the turbo pinto will be cheaper on average, but it depends how well you work the pinto to suit the turbo. if it looks like tis gonna cost any more than $3000 or so switch to SR20

man i no pictures do lie, but it looked pretty good in the first pics!

owell its still coming along!!

shell be a sweet ride in no time

real nice dude similar to mine keep us updated on the build

Aha! I've been hoping this car would turn up on here. I've seen it getting around Greenwood... do you also have a yellow 4dr with Ghia alloys?
