tezmanian devil Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 well, here it is... the reason for my mk5 coming to peice's it's a 1980's mk2 4dr escort in lovly condition!! http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/004.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/006.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/007.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/008.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/009.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/010.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/012.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/013.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/014.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/016.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/017.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/018.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/019.jpg and while i was taking pic's i thought i might aswel put all of them together for a quick one befour the mk5 and 6 get sold to buy a family car http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/020.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/021.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/mk2%20escort/022.jpg the mk2 is just a normal 1300 as standard but it has a 1300GT engine fitted, 4spd gearbox (had 4.5hr's of cruising at 55mph bringing it home lol ) and the bodywork is flawless pretty much, just a small rust scab to the bottomleft of the os headlight, scratch on the os front arch and a tiny bit of bubbling on both rear archs just about the sill's. absolutly in love with it! but unfortunetly iv restricted myself to a limited mileage classic insurance policy so i dont use it to much and ruin it... only plans really are to fit and zetec on carb's and a 5spd type 9 box, but i need to look into abit more though so nothing will hppen for a while yet. that's all folk's.
