Lee- Me to, can see it still taking a while but I'll put all my efforts into the Escort only this time round.

More than 1 project at once is a bit of a nightmare, so definately do you some good having shot of it in that respect.

Sadly so mate!

[CraigGreen]

You guys did get some great results in this car in what feels like a short window of time.

Well done... move on. I guess?

[jonlem]

I need my escort done this side of 2010 LOL, Gav also needs that shonky blue thing sorted too

[bux]

your telling me jon, cant wait to see the blue machine back!

[ashtal]

How far along is the escort ?

[jonlem]

The shell is totally finished and painted, axle built up ready to be fitted, fuel system, intercooler, rad, pre rad all ready to go on, 9/10 of the electricals sorted. 1/2 of the engine parts are on the shelf but the other half won't be cheap. Still a long way off but once its back into a workshop I have more than enough to be getting on with whilst a engine is put together. Next step once I know exact offset is to order some wheels, not 100% yet on exactly what to go for has MO's have been done to death so I'm wanting to use something slightly different.

I'll get the thread updated once I have pics worthy of posting

Whats a pre rad?

[turbo gav]

I think should read as pro as in pro-alloy

[ashtal]

Has the escort got its own thread then ?

I think he means a turbo pre-rad, ie one that goes before the turbo.

[turbo gav]

Do they exist !?!

[jonlem]

I'm not 100% if I will even use the pre rad yet as you don't need to run water through the turbo I'm using.

[turbo gav]

Car is now sold, its going to a good home so we expect to see it again soon.

Ok, so what the funk is that?

[jonlem]

Its a Intercooler, radiator and turbo rad from Pro Alloy for my Escort, The intercooler sits in front with the radiator behind it, then the turbo rad sits on top of the rad, Awesome bit of kit if not slightly pricey but it does fit as I needed so I'm not grumbling.
