yes the exhaust is a thing of beauty, thats why i make the 4 hour round trip to get the work done, not sure u'll find a nicer exhaust around.

pictures of drifting wont be for a very long time lol. so much work to be done before i can even drive the car let along in full anger sideways.
have to-
 
Fit new turbo
Buy fittings and braid and make new water and oil lines to said turbo
fit new bigger flow fuel rail
Buy fittings and lines to make fuel lines
install new rising rate fuel reg
dial in new cams
Tune
 
thats just to get the car running, then i have to
 
Fit a gearbox with all working gears
fit front coil overs
Buy and shorten new steering arms
fit rack end extenders
Remount seats onto new seat rail to allow them to be further back
fit steering colum extender
mount and plumb hydraulic handbrake
 
and if i have any money i kinda need a basic cage to be let on the track

hi
love your ve hicle
love the common direction you have taken
im thinking of doing a similar coversion to my clean as a wissle grandma spec mk1 2 door but with a few more body mods
thinking of going hotwires with a9x bolt on flares with torana tail lights
with a purple velour interiour with sunroof
with screamer exiting strait out the bonnet with exhaust to exit infront of rear wheels
 
hope you like my plans im all out of wedding pics
cheers

Great Looking car bud,
 
ill be sure to contact you for a run when mine is done, not many turbo escorts in melbourne(on the road).
 
Ez'
 
 

Mate im sure at the rate im going at urs will be finished before mine.
 
 

well after about 4 years of ownership its happened
ive had to buy speedflow fittings lol.
 
been trying to avoid this moment for a long time but now have no real choice, and damn i hate those little suckers, yes they look real nice but u pay through the rs for them and you always need so many of them.
 
end rant

That will certainly be in keeping with the type of mods done back in the early 80s when these cars were everywhere.

i wouldnt worry to much about any of that happening, mate of mine who loves taking the piss.

Mish

hehe dont worry im expecting to finish by mid next year.
 
cheers.

ok so things are starting to move along again with this thing
 
parts arrived
 

 
odered my -AN fittings and black braided line, which i will be cutting to perfect size so that the whole install looks neat and tidy unlike the old setup with was for a completely different engine but were made to fit.
 
made a parts offering to the escort gods
 
 
 
and it fits 
 

 
but as always went to install my new fuel rail which i bought second hand, and not to my surprise it needs to be modified to fit. as it was made for a bpt in a fwd configuration not in a rwd setup like mine
 

 
as you can see rear fitting needs to be cut off and welded shut and another fitting off to the left hand side of the rail.
