Cheers Gary, engines and rally cars my thing.

That's why I put the tread on to get help and advise. Anyone know about the single numberplate light thing?

[mike77cos]

I've got a 76 car from oz as well, I was thinking of starting a spot the difference thread, i've spotted seat mounts so far and lots of engine part differences

[harrierjumpjet74]

Wayne, u should get the red mk2 done first mate... matt

[wayne m]

Yes mat you are right, but I'm saving for the tractive gearbox and front proflex to finish her.
I've got an old pic but I'll try post new one soon.

[petrolhead]

Red one,Red one,do the Red one please!

Looks a beaut!

[wayne m]

This is what the engine will look like.
2.5 millington series2 but I'm trying a few mods on my own!



this rally car been a very long term project due to cost, and there are things I would change on the car now, but it is what it is.

The level of cars being built in the last 2 years has risen. But trust me this car will be no slouch!

This car is also going on a diet, using some carbon panels etc etc
I'll try and do pics of both cars as I go.

Cheers

I've got a 76 car from oz as well, I was thinking of starting a spot the difference thread, i've spotted seat mounts so far and lots of engine part differences

As a start: Seat mounts(but Aussie RS mounts are different to standard Aussie escort mounts)/Steel sump/large fuel tank under boot floor/handbrake light/carbon emissions filter/back panel same colour as car (for RS models)/rear anti roll bar/Pinto less power than european sister car/standard bellhousing(cortina)/crappy round air filter on RS models (that why I have european RS filter fitted to mine)/rear view mirror mounted on screen/fuel filler through back panel/strengthing plate on front off side from floor to chassis.

All that aside its still an escort and even though the aussie RS is a lower spec than it's european cousin it's still an RS and I never plan to part with mine (well I suppose we never do but never say never ).
