My Escort MK2 rally car build

[boyce24]

Thought i'd finally post the last 3 odd years building on and off of my mk2 hope you enjoy.

Used to look like this (first build)


Some of this, replacing boot section's and O/S pillor


Replacing sills, note the hanging patched wheel tubs to be replaced with 15" Gartrac items!




Kevlar test fitting

Under prior to paint with the new front tubs in place!



Paint






Bloody wiring







First drive, Golspie sprint with gravel suspension. Went good though! Time to park up and start the MK1

Nice build mate, what color is it? suits the Mk2 well..

I do like that! Whats the engine spec

[boyce24]

Cheers, I just kept building and it turned out this way. I'm happy with it any way!!

The colour is a Renault comercial orange, it's the closest I could find to the Ford colour I wanted.

The engine is a Vauxhall XE, dry sumped with a decent spec but still on carbs 45's, TLE manifold with DTA S40 brain. Goes very well indeed!
