[rallywoodhall]

Currently working on building up a 1976 mk2 escort to be a rally car it is my fiances dads car got ir when he passed away its a beast well it will be when its running not sure if it will interest anyone

[mr_fish]

I'm sure the RWD factor will interest a few here....myself included, get some pictures up

[Paul Baldwin]

Subbed!

Love Mk2's. Pity I'll never, ever be able to afford one nowadays. There's not much compares to seeing one of them howling broad-side thru a forest stage

Naaaah. Gotta be normally aspirated? How about one of these? http://www.millingtonengines.co.uk/sales...gines.html

Only £23,500 + VAT !!!!!


Ps. Can't see pics.
Why the baby crossflow. did it come with the car? Want to buy a 2.1 big-valve pinto for it?

[rallywoodhall]

Yeah came with it my oh is puttong a 1670 crossflow in it for now it will become a road rally car obviously want bigger engine and other items for it but will requirw a lot of saving but gopefully will be running ready for our wedding as will be great for photographs

[ozonehostile]

Quite rare to see a 4 door mark 2 these days!

The 1600 crossflow engines seem to get good results with some decent carbs and head work, 180bhp is certainly achievable

Thought much about suspension? I know lots of rally boys who use capri rear disc axles.

I'd love a retro ford, just wouldn't be able to deal with the retro ford premium price tag that parts command

[rallywoodhall]

Not sure really will have to get my fiqnce to reply to you later he could tell you more as I cant remember all the info of what he has got planned yeah its gonna be expensive but hes working at a huge car parts warehouse and distributors and should be able to get the parts for a good price there
