Yes...its just not cricket is it[V]

Its a great car with great workmanship and personal flair...and goes like stink

After building a highly modified car myself that is quite possibly one of the purest blueblooded of highly modded Small Fords in the country(Ford Engine,Gearbox,Clutch,Diff,Tailshaft,Suspension,etc)I'm happy to put my hand up and say I'd defianately own this car if I was in a position too[:p]

If its purety your after then the next installment will definately comply...Fresh B&H GrpA Cossie powered but understandable if George now doesnt feel like sharing...

Praise in public...persecute in private[;^)]

Not to be confused with tall poppy syndrome in some cases[;^)]

Sorry guys...Im not a fan of bagging someone's personal achievements in public...not even in private I think we are treading a fine line here.

Different opinions are good for us...it just depends on how they are delivered as to whether they are effective or not[%]

Nice car but was dissapointed with the transplant option.
2.5lt Duratec would have been tough and different. I know you get plenty of power from the SR but they are starting to get like @rseholes, everyone has one.

Obviously the guys likes old school and new school.

Gonna go ahead and say this has taken IMB05S's place as my favourite Escort.

If my project ended up even half as good as that I'd be happy. :)

I second that scortfreak. There is too much elitism about having a Cosworth powered car on this forum. Some of my friends(They know who they are). do not look down their nose at George's car just because he runs an SR20. The man has a 360 Mondial sitting in his garage at home and he would rather drive his MK1 with an SR20. Speaks volumes to me. Still beats a MK2 with a weazey N/A engine.

Thats a nice car!!! come on give him some credit!! i hate sr20's too but i haven't seen a pic of under the hood yet!!
just pretend its got a fuel injected pinto!! [:x)]

I like it!!

hope he had air con and power steering added??? he did everything else

To me the silver looks like a bad photoshop attempt with stupudily oversize rims.. not a fan.

This was my opinion from the first photo, without the RS stripes. I stand by that as the photo doesn't do the car justice. It almost looks false sitting there, a lack of shading evident and huge wheels screams photoshop.

In the next set of photos, with the rs stripes, I thought 'now that's more like it, the car looks great, awesome finish', however i still thought the wheels didn't sit right'.

For me, that's fine, everyone has different tastes and thats ok. I dont mind that it has an SR20DET... I'm all for differnt power plants and engine choices etc. Hey, we mod everything else, suspension, discs, callipers shockers gearboxes, rims and tyres, seats are often not as ford intended, so why stop at the engine??

I'm the first one to think outside the box... I think my hybrid mitsu/pinto project shows that

I appreciate the many hours of time, money and research that goes into a car like this. I would be over it like a rash at a car show, examining all the work that has gone into it.

But that does mean I have to love it .......

nor does it mean that I think all cars must be on minilites and webers or cosworth power...... what a boring world that would be
