Its not fast but I'm hoping to improve my driving skills with this, No power steering, everythings mechanical and its rwd :)
 
Ahh a proper enthusiast getting into his car - I got respect for you ;)

Should be bloody rewarding once its all ready 8)

Do you think you'll modify the engine to solve the power issue?
 
niiice, i've always loved those escorts :thumbsup:

a friend has one standing in a shed, with the front all rusted away, but the rest is fine, so we're not realy sure what to do with it

PS: i realy hope you're getting rid of that horrid steeringwheel :?
 
It hasnt cost me much, I've only spent about $1500(got the car really cheap $250), labor is cheap here, I'm still deciding on the engine, Parts will be difficult in the future. but as of now I'm sticking to 1600cc.

Haha I know, I've got one at home, I'll change it in the future. :lol:
 
my dad hat one of those RS versions I think, in bright orange with a large rubber spoiler on the back :)
 
Now THAT is porn for me :) LOVE that car :heart: I demand more pics! :D
 
My dad had one of those - rusted away! Good effort, keep up the good work. I seem to recall that the 1600 was not too slow, dad's was a 1300 and I think that there was an 1100 too, as well as the 2000 RS. Car of choice for the cognoscenti was the 1600 E with the vinyl roof I seem to recall.
 
awesome car man.. i sure do wish we got these over here in north america

Its 99% done but only a slight problem with the reverse gear. :)
 
Wow... as if the work on the Escort wasn't impressive enough, the restoration of the Chevy is amazing. Excellent work.
 
Those are two seriously cool cars. Me likes :thumbsup:
 
Beautiful car, great restore, well done. Is it road legal and have you and your dad been out in it, a real head turner. You've even got the whitwall tyres !!!!
 
What's the story on the Mustang under the tarp?

Its my brothers car, he bought it in a good condition, didnt do much to it.

Yes, The Chevy is road legal :) , but still no number plate. the previous owner lost the papers. long process to get new papers :lol:
