Ah the chocco brown vinyl seats - happy memories of jumping into the car on a sunny day wearing shorts and getting fried Love the estates. Always wanted to get one, lower it and get "Low Estate" numberplates....  A good step is 32/36 Weber on a GT manifold and extractors. Lots of power gain for not many $

If we had estates in Australia I probably would have chased down one of them rather than the 2 door I eventually found. I am with you teds, get some superlites and lower it.  As for the front speaker location, check this thread out: http://classic-ford.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13907 I would like to try something like the above at some stage. Cheers.

yer seen that post sounds like a gud idea 2 small problems estates have mk1 doors so the pods would sit up higher and foul on the window winder unless i made the pod curve down so it was on the netal at the bottom of the door

well if you ever plan to sell the rims give me a pm...
and what is the motor right now? a 1.3?
put about $500 into a 1600 and it can be a load of fun
speaking of which i have a good cond 1600 for sale... not urgent
maybe there is a way of fitting spacers and such to get some speakers in the front kickpanels?
cheers

black definately....every escort with superlites has them silver...black would look stunning and unique
why would you stick the 1.3 pistons in a 1.6?

If you scroll right down to the bottom of this page it has the specs on changing pistons in the crossflow engine
