I have a little bit of progress....
i cleaned the interior (half effort) i could have got it spotless but my little boy was dying to go for a drive so i fitted his seat instead!! pics attached
i also bought some lines and i have heat coated myself the exhaust manifold and the dump pipe.. i have heat wrap aswell.. and obviously the external gate needs to be plumbed properly.... or  i may have a screamer pipe set up hahaha.... we will see!
the SU carby is in getting overhauled to make sure everything is good fuel wise! pistons and rods, bearings and crank are ready to go... i may fit them into the block on the weekend? if i get time!
 
 

wastegate must be run to atmosphere, its to nice a sound to waste. and everyone knows when they are in your way :)

yeah i spun the centre it tooka few goes to get it right but i also ordered a 45 out of the top (oil feed) just to be sure. hope these pics help a bit, love the car by the way... havent been in a draw through since the sigma turbo days..



sorry bout the skewif images

How you can't help yourself
 
Well done and your comment "my engine bay will not be anywhere near as tidy as that" Well your not renowned for the cleanest engine bays right.

Hey Stan! yeah i cant help myself! lol its a curse! you should find yourself a 4 door rs! and stop playing with RC cars :-D
 
Shaun, you got me.... i did the VHT home job but i havent cured it.... i sprayed it then thought....hmmm how will i cure it lol!!
 
i will have more updates soon hopefully!

Been working on the escort on and off lately, i have now put the worked head on the standard bottom end with a 2mm decom head gasket.
everything is in. i made an oil return to the sump and nearly everything is done apart from radiator and pipes and i have a few issues to resolve with the inlet manifold pipe work.
 
other than that i am itching to get it going!!!
 

Its been a while!! So i have now got the car running after a lot of messing about! i still havent got it running perfect! i have a little bit of tuning to do and sorting of the idle speed!
but the car runs.. i have only taken it to about 3psi.. so havent given it a big rev yet! one day!
anyway a couple of pics of how it is now! not perfect or clean looking! i still need to sort out a filter for the SU carby but one thing at a time at this stage!
Hopefully by the weekend i can work out what boost i have it set to! i setup my pyro guage and boost guage also! all works good too!
any advice with timing adjustment on the dissy is welcome also!!! exhaust temp gets way too high i think so i may need to adjust timing and fuel mixture!!

Cool , have you got a wideband oxygen sensor? And do u know The timing specs of the dissy?
