... not really a "project" compared to the scale of work normally done around here I know ![Smile](https://bbs.rallyesportescorts.co.uk/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
My plans for the car are to keep it "nice", but certainly not concours, and most importantly to drive it. I've owned a few modern "fast" cars and have come to realize that while they're fun in a straight line, to really enjoy them on the road you're constantly doing illegal speeds, and really pushing the safe limits. I absolutely love the fact I can rag the Escort at "safe" speeds! Plus of course it's fantastic fun going sideways again (on a private test track of course).
I plan to keep it basically current spec - standard, but with a 2 litre pinto with twin Weber 44s. I've had the suspension geo done and fitted new tyres, which improves things quite a bit. The carbs need a tuning so I have a session on a rolling road planned for that. Next on the list may be some new suspension components. Basically I want it to be as fun and reliable to drive hard as possible, but have no desire for big power.
