What happend to the 5 DR?.. Is that Naylor's old bus??

 

3dr is the way to go :thumb:

 

I still have my 5dr silver escort. its sat on the drive for now until i'm back home.

 

 

Micky GTi's?

 

Was on eBay a few week ago?

 

So engine change time then :)

 

Yeah Mike's one... saved from the breakers...

 

 

why's it not running john?

 

think it may be a fuel pump issue. Hope to get it sorted as the interior is mint and the paint work so clean!

Still not running and not decided what i'm actually do with it....

 

 

Nice to see another escort saved from breakers and into loving hands looking forward to seeing how this goes :thumb:

 

Well it won't have the budget of my silver one... we'll see, if Ian has it way it will be running a turbo lol

but back to the car, after a prat off ebay failed to send me a fuel pump hoping to pick one up tomorrow and see it i can get it running, then it might move 10m down the drive and back lol

 

 

back to the car:

 

it's on OZ racing:

sadly found a hole, so when its running will have to get it welded before the MOT, also needs 2 drop links, but easy job.

U not fancying transplanting the silver more doors engine and ECU etc into this JC? :)

 

NO behave!

 

Besides it would take years the amount of stuff i did to the silver one!

 

no leave the 5dr alone its my inspiration to keep going with mineand you would never feel half as attached to this as u wld the 5dr

 

Aye it will be left alone!

Collected a tank off Tom with the fuel pump still in so will save me getting the hammer out, thought would be rude not to paint. Went silver as my black has run out!

(Thought scottybo would appreciate the bed sheet, though not as clean as Sidricks! :roll: )

 

 

 

How blury is that pic? :pancake:

 

I think you should turbo it, but hurry up and let me know before they get fitted :roll:

 

Talk to me prices... and i'll see if i need to sell one kidney or two...
