            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?

              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

                  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.

                      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

                              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 ).
