Very nice ... but ... shouldn't those bolts on the track rod ends be the other way round?

Same on the TCA's. Nut comes loose, bolt falls out due to Isaac Newton. Lovely bits - Shoddy prep.

hehehee, well people on the interwebs...the cars far from finished. You missed that the bolts holding on the anti roll bar are loose, its got no drop links fitted and most shocking no brake lines going to the calipers on front! :-) So LOTS left to do yet. ;-) It will be checked, checked again and triple checked before being used in anger.


Anyway here are a few nice pictures of the back end.

This is about as perfect a MK2 as you're likely to see.



...if the wheels weren't red

Wait till you see the next pics....one of the wheels is missing...how did he miss that?


Lovely car, the bite the back of your hand comment perfectly sums this car up....there is just something about a big arched Mk2 in White...perfection (apart from the wheels, they should be BLUE!)

I will not!

I just think it would look better with silver/gold/black wheels. As is.

That said, I assume it's going to be done in the company livery, in which case they'll look awesome.

Sorry not really updated this with the last 12 months progress. But here you go:

Firstly the custom made loom:

After the loom was done, we had a few problems getting spark which drove us round the bend for a couple of days. Was solved in the end with help from Roy Millington and Alex at DTA fast. Was all out fault when wiring up the engine loom.

Here's a video we did of the first start of the engine, please excuse the belt slip and 500rpm idle at the beginning of the video.

Wow, that's proper porn!

[gary3170]

That is stunning WOW

[AdamIndy]

Stunning! Just beautiful!

I happen to know the company that have just built Ken blocks escort with millington power. I got told yesterday the engine was £35k!!!

I have been lucky enough to have a play in my bosses historic MK2 with BDG power in gravel spec. That is somewhere between 260-270bhp and 9000rpm. 300+ will be immense! Out of interest, what does your engine rev to?

Keep your v8's, screaming 4's are the business!

[monkeytwizzel]

Oh wow and one more wow for good luck, The Escort that you have done is beyond amazing. good luck and have fun with but don`t hit it for god sake.

Love this, was it one of the new repro shells? Looks great quality!
