I remember this car well, it was in that escort book we got at the lakes one year wasnt it?

Just looks so right in black with those rims

Look forward to more updates

[pinto48s]

The retro ford escort special book?
Yea I wanted some wheels a bit different to the norm, I had the big lump machined
off the centre so they don't look like 4x4 wheels!
Will be more updates once shes down at work Saturday, luxury of 2 post lift for getting
engine and box back in.

Cheers gaz, gotta have a few goodies in there!
Used to go well before it died when down on comp and valve lift so hopefully will feel like a different car this time round.
Wouldn't mind your engine under the bonnet :-)

Hello

Nice to See One Of My Crossmember Convert Kits fitted.

Thanks for buying the bits and the mexico looks great.

Errol

Engine building today!!!
Got it 90% done, will be finished next weekend at last
Just need to buy the rest of the bits to put car back together!
Found some time to sort the x member out as well, thanks Errol for rs bits

Had a few hours here and there this week.
Got bias box built up, sent accel pedal off for zinc plating.
Cleaned a few bits and bolted them back in the bay.
Working on fitting cossie starter and a different solution for brake fluid pots, pics to follow.
Not much worth taking pics of at the mo but heres one of the brakes

[pinto48s]

Couple of update pics
Cossie starter mod done, made a jig then cut/ welded belhousing.
Been fabricating a brake fluid reservoir, had a neck machined to take a girling cap
Engine,s going in soon......





Cheers geoff

Got carbs built up on manifold today
Used the new conversion stud kit from webcon, makes life so much easier with 48's!!
Clutch and seals for gearbox on their way so engine in soon

[pinto48s]

Well after nearly two years the engine is back in
Had a quiet afternoon Friday so got stuck in and bolted it all up
Had a little nibble at it today, thought it,d be rude not to put the carbs on for a cheeky pic to boost the enthusiasm!!
Hopefully have brake fluid tank soon so I can get the brakes all done.
Standard x member needs a tiny bit cutting off to clear the gp2 manifold, it fits a damn sight better than I was expecting.







Cheers geoff
