Glenn: Doing my car up IS my hobbie! [88]

Some may say that it didn't need anything done to it but... Well there were some things that "weren't quite right" [;^)]

I've always wanted to fix the engine up properly, then I thought, well, the seats need doing as well, but the seat rails are a bit shabby so I might get them powder coated, then I thought, well, there are some other parts I could get powder coated at the same time, then I thought seeing as I'm pulling so much off it I might as well respray the dash, so on and so forth.... I'm now a long way from where I intended!!!!

Another top-notch RS.
Looks like she will live for another 28+ years.
Well done!

fair enough mate...

like i said when u were in SA.. cheers for the drive... def one of the best Escorts i ever drove...

Finaly my engine is done!

I shall drive it home tommorrow. The dyno won't be able to be done probably into the new year.

The engine specs are now:

Sierra Unleaded head, 45mm inlet 38mm exhaust, 3 angle cut
Heavily ported
Matched manifolds to head
Kent RL30 cam kit
Overhauled twin 45mm Webers
Cermaic coated Pacemaker big bore extractors (Cheers Rhys)
Sierra 80amp alternator
Remapped distributor running Crane XR700 Fireball ignition.

I will post pictures soon. What a great Chrissy present!

now time to enjoy, any ideas on power output or what your hoping to make? sounds the goods from the specs though

well done mate... be interesting how much quicker it is...

Nathan,
Perfect time to have it done. Are you getting much of a break over Xmas period to get out and enjoy it? /run it in.

Keep us updated.

Rhys
