Rs1800 ouh

Finally got the car back last night after a serious amount of TLC. Car was pretty much a death trap when I picked it up. Thanks Paul for the lift home when I collected it, either because you knew it was lethal or not, just thank goodness we didn't drive it home.

Sheered steering rack, cross member hanging off, concrete tyres, odd size engine mounts etc etc.

Any all fettled, loads of new parts, engine realigned (odd mounts meant it sat on the p1ss)

Had a good run out last night and got it warmed up properly

What a fckin great grin, could not stop smiling. The best fun driving I have had in a long time and I will go as far to say I enjoyed it as much if not more than a private testing session recently which included a Maclean F1 which is also a schoolboy dream car

How many people compare an Escort mk2 with a Maclaren F1 as a bit of back to back testing???

Now it's sorted it's fckin brilliant !!!

Glad the cars sounds to be all sorted mate, my favorite 1800

I thought the engines were supposed to sit on the pi$$ ?

good to hear its up and running and youre enjoying it,

as for the engine mounts etc, (tho i dont know what crossmember you have) all BDA road cars had odd engine mount lengths with standard member, and the engines did sit bias to the near side, this was to enable easier fitment and proper clearance for side draught carbs

Fitted world cup cross member now. Will pass on the engine mount comment. I did not know that so thanks
