Hehe, Granny was way better [:x)] Nah its missing the rear louvre, looks like its got a sunroof and also got FORD letters across boot.

But I do wish that it would get spotted somewhere. I'd like to know how old Granny is going.

Granny_Banger left the building today also. Stairsy' taken the rains.

Good spotting though.

Things are moving along now. Progress halted for around a month as I gained a few extra cars that I was working on and had end of year Tafe crap to do.

Got pretty much all the petrol side of things done now and all the wiring (I hope) now I've got to make up a gasket for the manifold and mount it, put on alternator and add radiator (plus get it reco'd) then get it tuned.

Heres the latest pics of the fuel setup.

Would love to have it going to drive to SFS in Melbourne but in all seriousness I doubt the Escort will make it plus I'll be going onto to Tassy and its probably not suited for so much driving. I'd love it but my girlfriend probably wouldn't.

Anyways thats my latest update.

Mickas, don't be sorry we are all here to learn. Which part are you referring to? the latest 2pictures?
The only part that joins to plastic is where EFI hose connects to fuel rail and it has a little plastic hose connection about 2" long. I can't see the problem though as this is factory and alot of car run plastic EFI lines. My lines running under the car are all metal everything else is EFI hose except for some of lift pump hosing.

Or if your talking about the black u-shapied piping that connects to EFI pump, thats metal too, came from an XE falcon wagon and thought it may make things easier.

Yes will book it in once I can tell whether or not I can get it driveable or not. If I can drive it, I reckon I'll take it out to Mike Dale, if I can't get far it will go to BDT at Blackwood.

As fas as SFS goes, Im all booked to go thats how serious I am, gota be on Spirit of Tasmania sunday night (5th) so I've got to be in Melbourne atleast that day so why not come for the weekend Blue Escort is not so serious, bout a 25% chance of me taking it at this stage.Big call taking that on a over 2000km trip just after I've got it going again. But you never know [;^)]

I have to agree that it is better to proof test a car a little closer to home first. can save headaches, $$$ and[:I][:I][:I][:I].
