MK1 4AZGE project completed (Well Mostly)

Hello All.

Well some of you may well remember my MK1 Escort project, to fit in a Toyota 4AGZE (1.6L 16 valve EFI with supercharger) and T50 gearbox.
Well it is mostly completed apart from some dash bits inside and some ride hight adjustment. It received rego for the first time in 12 years on the 11h of April.
It is great to finally drive it around he streets, It creates a few turned heads and interest when filling it up at the old fuel station.
I'm going to stop tying now as I had a push bike accident yesterday and my arm fu#%ing hurts.
All questions welcome though.

    Thanks guys for the comments.

    Bill when ever you are near Harrison give me a call (0414510462), or sometimes I'm out working at Googong so might be able to drop past one arvo. I'll let you know when I'm next out that way.

    Basic list of mods:
    1. I had to cut the old engine mounts off the cross member and fabricate new ones.
    2. Build a pedal box for bias adjustment and Hydraulic clutch.
    3. Cut out the old gearbox mounts and make a new gearbox cross member and mounts.
    4. Raise the transmission tunnel above the gearbox by about 25mm.
    5. Fabricate new front seat mounts.
    6. Design and Build a Anti-Dive kit (I built one to save cash of course).
    7. Install new fuel lines to and from the Tank.
    8. Redo the electrical wiring looms.
    9. Modify the sump and oil pickup so it would fit over the steering rack.
    10. Redirect the air inlet pipe on the engine to face forward instead of backwards.
    11. Redirect the Supercharger outlet pipe to face toward the front of the car.
    12. Design and build my own exhaust manifold (a few hours in that bugger!).
    13. Mount the ignition coils on the side of the engine instead of on the back of the engine.
    13. Fabricate different Alternator brackets (as the old setup used the A/C pump as part of the bracket).
    14. Mount the Intercooler in front of the radiator.
    15. Countless amount of other little brackets I have made.
    16. Shortened Falcon LSD axel with 4:1 gearing & sigma Disks.

    There is probably 16 other things I forgot, but that willdo for now.

    Nice work there

    Did this car used to be green (prior to painting) ? I think I remember reading about your project on a website you had some years ago ?

    Cheers,
    Damion.

    Hi Damion

    Yeah the car was Green.
    It was originally a 1100 super with drums all around.

    These are photos just after I got it.
