Awesome car Roger.

Just having a look through the pics and i noticed you got some sort of hose/fitting going into the exhaust. Where does the pipe come from and whats it's function?

Also, Good idea with the chain to stop the tailshaft hitting the ground! Is this legal for Racing? Note to self - replace big heavy lump of steel that always seems to be in the way

How do you find the EBC Ceramics?

Is there any way to dload the videos as i am on dialup and usually don't like waiting around for them to load up?

Thanks,
Daniel

Michael,

One of the real problems Escort owners
[and its not only escort owners but other borderline?? classic cars]
fall into/group/ catagory what ever...............

one is using them as transport every day, whilst improving modifying

other is trailer sailer/non primary car eg not needed to be going any time soon.

This means expectations and/or time to work on them vary widely!

Just do what u can.

despite all the new cuddly parts I do see an engine in the engine bay. What you want to drive it or something?
