My Mk1 Race car (pinto build) / Mk2 Pannel Van

Hey all,  thought I would share my cars with you and start contributing to this form.  My first car was a ford escort, and since then I have owned 5 ford escorts (2x mk1 2 doors 2x mk2 2 doors and a pannel van).I will dig up all the photos soon.
I currently own a mk1 2 door and a mk2 pannel van.
The panel van is a stock 1.6l 4 speed all I have done is  a stereo and some 14 ince wheels......
I have a 2 litre and 5 speed sitting round that will go in it one day, maybe. I will lower it alot and do the suspension up when the minister for finance approves (the wife).

 
 
When I first got it

 
With Wheels
 
 
 
The Mk 1 I use mostly for hillclimbs and track days in South Australia and the occasional sunday run. It has been off the road for a while now.  I pulled the engine out  to chase a bit more power out of the pinto, and it is nearly done now (soon to go on the engine dyno).  But it ran low 37s @ collingrove hllclimb prior to the engine being removed.
Twin 45mm webbers
Extractors
Koni Shocks
Custom Coil and leaf springs
Anti tramp bars (diff to chassis)
XL Front swaybar
Front camber tops
Quaife 4.3 lsd
Quick rack steering
Batery in the Boot
180sx front seats with harness belts
Half Cage (Walker Chassis)
4 speed with a quick shift
5 speed celica box (not fitted at the moment but has been in the car 3 times) 
 
 

 

And the engine (will go on the engine dyno very soon).........

 

 

 
 
 

 

 
Will dig up more pics and update

    G'Day Mac,
    Nice cars.
    Were you at All Ford Day a few years back with the van? If I remember correctly you'd just picked it up from Vic?
     
    What sort of times does the Mk1 do around Mallala? The new motor should be fun.
     
    Cheers,
    Rhys

    Yeah I picked it up the PV from the guy that got it from vic, cheap. Not 100% on mallala, havent been out there in a long time in an escort, as I have been racing an evo 6 in imp production for the last few years (now sold the evo though).

    That's a sh*t hot power figure. Can you offer a price guide for parts and machining?

    Yes on 45's as far as they can go, filling the intake ports and intake manifold made a massive difference on flow.....suprised everyone involved.  Also I have always had aussie made extractors untill this build but ended up going larger uk items this time (about the same price to your door too!)

    Extractors look the same as mine. What cam are you using?
