the door cards are the original front and rear (white) I believe it was an old ladies car
the cage was made by myself and a mate who is a cams aproved roll bar maker and scutineer etc it is fully welded in
there where many hours of cutting welding and bending and swearing and putting bars in and out of the car
it is padded with air con insulation stuck on with contact
hope I never need to use it
the centre console has since been trimmed in black vinyl

Nice, yeah they are never finished [:I] haha [:p]

how does the 1600 go with the twin 45's?

looks bloody tidy mate, i love it!!

i run twin 45's on a 1600's too, it isnt a problem (speaking for myself here, not sure how 356mal goes) as long as the head has enough work down to flow well.

it goes well but I haven't really pushed it yet reved to about 6000 I have only driven it about 150k's will get it dynoed soon
biggest problem is on a trip to maitland and back I got about 12mpg
(22ltr pr 100k) of premium 98 + octane boost + valve saver
I think I will build a trailer to go to EC and OP
head is well ported and hand made extracters work well

nice car mal

nice mk1 what pistons r in it CR?love the 1600

I have finally started to come to grips with driving an escort quickly I used a 3.77 locked diff last weekend at oran park gp and got down to 129.67 I am going to try a 3.89 next time just to see the difference

Absolute beauty, how hard was it to fit the wires under there?

I'm very close to buying some 13x7 Hotwires myself. Just wonderin' if you did anything fancy, bar say the gaurds rolled etc?
