No but all i am waiting on is the alloy rad getting welded up. Should be a runner in a week. Whats the estimated timescale to get either of your rotters running? You jacked the escort up recently :cry: :cry:Quote:

Cheers guys!
Never lost the live as such, been on a 3/4 year waiting list to get the car restored as I only wanted people working on it that know how they come apart as prices for these cars have gone nuts now along with the parts!.
It's stage 3 now with rs500 intercooler and .55 T34 hybrid so about 340hp, nothing special but much over that and you risk the gearbox and diffs.
I didn't have a 1.6 16v nova, I had the let nova on autronic and T3 garret : ).
As well as painted the car is having new looms and loads of other bits so it will be delivered back with an mot.
Who painted the car? anyone i might know?
Glad to see you're still slowly working on it.
Guy called Dave Pritchard Benn, mostly does RS stuff, Bristol way.
I have no garage at home for the moment so can't work on it myself.
Ah nice, looks like a great job. Thought you had a nice double garage at your place... or have you moved again? Thought you where in No mans land now...
Had double garage at the old house, since moving I have no garage, will sort something soon as it's a right pain.
The nova going ok?
Ah ok, amazed you moved then..lol
Yeah Nova is all good. Wrapped up for winter mods.
Love the car it was fords latest best car, all the newer stuff is junk
Stunning been following the thread over on the escort forum best colour and best wheels. Imagine the paint is spot on after daves worked his magic on it.
Hope so! Dave is a top bloke and ideal as he can do the mechanical side of things also, should come back with an mot so ready to use.
Had a few extras like ap paddle clutch and hydraulic clutch conversion to make it drive abit more modern

Car almost done now, all running etc
Very nice.
Should be back in a couple of weeks, just a few more details like badges etc
Can't tell you how long it is since I have seen an Escos on the road
Looks nice mate, will be even better when totally finished :thumb:
Have to bring it to a Mig meet in the summer dude.Quote:

Yeah we never really minded what people come in.
Still meet at same pub?
Nah, we meet by the Vine Pub at juc 2.. So a bit closer to you. If i remember when summer comes i'll message you.
Sounds good Benn!
Went to inspect the car Tuesday prior to delivery last night.
It is stunning, even better than I thought it would be so iam very pleased.
Such a strange feeling to sit in the car and start it up
Lack of photos.
I'm with Benn. Massive lack of imagery!
I didn't get sent that many guys, will be back over the parents to get some pictures when I can

Looks brilliant mate :thumb:
Looks fantastic you must be very happy, how does it drive?
Looks great, wheel choice is perfect.
One my lottery buys would be an escort cosworth.will never afford one otherwise lol.
nice example
Thanks guys!
Struggle with the drive after not being in an old car for years!
It's better with the hydraulic clutch setup.
Think I have a wheel out of balance though as abit of steering wheel wobble and gear stick moves up and down abit on rough roads so think I may need a new gearbox mount
