Mk2 Escort GL LHD Auto 1.3

[duratec_it]

Ive posted a few pics in the Newbie section, here is my latest raod car project.

Its a 1976 Ford Escort Mk2 GL, orignally from Holland one owner from new full Ford Service History 83000KMs and had been Wax Oyled from new so its mint underneath apart from being covered in WayOyl haha

I have now registered it in the UK and changed the Grille to a F O R D round headlight type.

Now fitted my genuine Mag 7inch Minilites with 185 60 13 Yokos and hopefully going to lower it over the weekend with 2.8legs and 1 1/2 block on the rear! All stuff i can put back to standard if i want to sell her on! Look forward to your comments! It even still has the s**t guard under the engine.

Very nice motor that, nice colour too.
I'm tempted to try and pick a flat front up at some time soon.

[rwdrs]

What colour is that? Cosmos blue?

[bluevan1]

nice escorts m8

[Davecos4x4]

yes, 2 escorts looking good.

any plans for them body wise. :)

[duratec_it]

I think im going to move on the Riveria Blue on on next year after doing a couple of Gymkans in it so no more plans with that one other than to take out my good xflow and put a 1300 back in but will leave the type9 in her as the tunnel has been modded for it!

With the Dark Blue one Ginger Rob did tell me the colour last week but ive forgotton what he said! Its to mint to put cut her about and put arches on it etc. Think im just going to tasteful period mods to her ie lowered slightly, springalex, tuned xflow may put a 5 speed i if i can keep the centre consul and maybe a RS Dash if i can get a mint one!

Also will be looking for some MudFlaps would like the genuine Ford ones but dont really want to pay 100 quid.
