The Puzzlescort'
I thought it was bout time I posted a few pics of the Escort so named the 'Puzzlescort' by one of my close friends over 15 years ago
its had a few panels here & there, a total reshell after an incident with a wombat.
The car pretty much has not changed in the past 10-12 years, apart from swapping to a hilux diff around 7 years ago, All the mechanicals have been out every couple of seasons depending on how many events it had done during the season
after a little incident in a ditch during a VRC
now the rules have changed it will get some arches & new wheels
the puzzles come from when it was originally built. it was assembled from a mulitple of cars I had owned & sold including a few escorts & my much loved Mk1 capri, keeping the 'good' bits to get it going. The original puzzle pieces were the colours of the cars that had gone into it.
now the puzzles have stuck and when it went out all people asked about was when the pieces were going on again
after a few changes in life, its time to get back into the car
these turned up from Raceproducts
as you would agree a very nice bit of kit from the guys...(Geoff was quick to point out that these didn't have the same adjustemnt as Danny's lol)
purchased some spacers from GP4 for inside of the bearings which needed a couple of thou off to fit but all sorted
the Forest Arches are also now sitting in the garage, just have to work out if there is enough time to get them fitted & painted before The Marysville stage (Spring 200) in September
will hopefully get cracking on a few little other upgrades while I'm fixing the dents in the back from my sister in laws 100 series running into the back of it!!
Its probably about time I intorduced my new service crew, the boys are getting a bit more into my car after being part of the RDA EBC Brakes Motorsport / Morris Rallying Team this year doing the VRC
the boys in their team tops
so the boys decided they woukd work on a side each - most likely the longest strut top change in history, but who cares.... right side
good to see the boys working on the car , reminds me of myself about the same age workin on dads rally car , only problem scott is one day they are gunna want to drive it & try to beat the old man ! ps i realy love the paint scheme on the car its fantastic
the oldest is already counting down the years to when he can do motorkanas & navigate, the youngest already has plans to kick me out of the drivers seat and into the navigators seat.
We all know that drivers DO NOT make the best navigators!
Well....its been a long time between drinks but the Escort had its first Rally in 6 years....
Apart from the driver being a lot older & rusty the event for us went well......the rain had set it and turned most of the roads to slop but they still managed to run the event although shortened
A couple of shots from the weekend
not my favourite part of a rally, trying to map & work out where we are going
the fog set in half way thru the night...luckily we finished as you can see in the morning shots it got pretty thick
well we went & tried something different the other week
we bolted on some formula ford tyres that I get at the right price (free) and took the car down to the Haunted hills hill climb track. Never been there or done a tarmac event in the Escort, the day started off well but after the first run it started to develop a miss - still not sure what has gone wrong with it, we suspect a head gasket....time will tell
