Mk1 escort van rolling/running project

[freddy6868]

Engine mounts fitted (more poor pictures to show that)


I then went on to fit the new stud kit and the exhaust manifold so that is all fitted and out the way
I had to remove the master cylinder to get to the drivers side engine mount and in the process i broke the steel brake line, so a mate knocked me up a nice copper on to replace it.
All i have to do is fit the pedals/pedal box the master cylinder and the brake line, bleed the system and away we go again!

Nah i have an almost brand new car to travel the 60miles a da back and forth work although i do use it when i can to go anywhere.

[freddy6868]

Yeah i wanted a 2door but i seen the van on the net went to look at and bought it after selling my little 106 rallye. I love it to pieces as it is something different.

[freddy6868]

Still out in all weathers as there is a 106 in pieces in the garage where the escort is ment to be sitting high and dry. Silly french cars!

Well on the 2nd of January i took part in an auto test in a quary and had great fun learning how to drive a rwd car/van (same chassis as the car). Although i came last as i didn't want to damage it i had fun and learn abit and i now know i need to reduce the understeer although i was running road tyres that didn't help. When the photos load up onto photo bucket i will put them up to show you. Don't linch me though as the van is stinking!
