MK2 Escort LS1 in orange!
Discussion
I have been on with my Escort project for about 3 years now - it should have taken a lot less time but as always other projects have got in the way!
I have just had the shell returned from the paint shop (the only work I have farmed out) so I am now going to rebuild it picture by picture for you all to comment on!
What I can not believe is that Finlay has beaten me to it - well done that man.

Testing took place on a very wet day at the Teesside kart track. Handling felt very good considering all the chassis changes. But for some reason the the engine was down on power - which was a good thing when you see how wet it was! Also I had a problem with the brakes which I hope I have traced to the peddle box which I have since modified so fingers crossed!
TOO MUCH TECHNOLOGY!
I have just been checking the bores with an endoscope when found this on the 6th bore I checked! Sorry can not upload image! But after further checks I found the same mark on every piston and in the same place! I even fastened a tie wrap down the side of the scope so I could size the indent - turns out to be about 3mm in dia!
I did ste myself for a moment or two!
