I've finally made a start on my Escort. The 15" arches, tubs and front spoiler are on order aswell as a dry sump tank. I am waiting for the Dry sump kit and the throttle bodies to come too. I have just fitted the tubular crossmember which looks really trick. It will be a bit of a long drawn out build due to having two back operations this year and am still sore and stiff (my back) and also funds !
Anyway, here's a few photies. I'll post more as the car gets done.
Cheers, Kev.

Lovly motor
Thanks Trig, Needs quite a bit of work doing, to get it how I want it to be though. Shell is mint , seems a shame to cut away to get the big arches etc ! Oh and that crappy axle is outta here !! Atlas on way.
that looks mint!

At the moment I'm thinking of track days and maybe the local hill climbs. I've sold my enduro bike and jetski due to my back, but needed some sort of toy - and you can't get better than an angle maker ! Think rallying is out due to the jumps and bumps - will have to see in a year or so. (Plus I can't be trusted rallying another Mk2 as I rolled my last one or should I say endoed it)i went down to his workshop and saw the other BD and he said he bought it off someone with a MINT mk2 Rs1800 rep - and he wasnt wrong !

OOOPSAt the moment I'm thinking of track days and maybe the local hill climbs. I've sold my enduro bike and jetski due to my back, but needed some sort of toy - and you can't get better than an angle maker !

(Plus I can't be trusted rallying another Mk2 as I rolled my last one or should I say endoed it), might pop in for a closer look next time im over if thats ok
looks a mint car,honda engines seem to be getting popular
Lovely Car Mate keep the pictures coming.
I thought that in order to run leaf springs and four link bars that slipper springs were required or am i wrong?
I was just about to say they should be slipper springs ....
Certainly did. Honda = reliability , BDA = Expense
nice car mate
A few things have changed. Now got the compression struts and in-situ bottom arms on.(Anti dive kit and antiroll bar gone.) Also the motor has the dry sump pan and pump on now. Not got the throttle bodies bolted on yet. More pics soon.
Great looking car m8
Nice job, don't suppose you have a measurement to hand for the compression strut positioning

wow! my dream motor!
good wor fella
what a sweet lookin motor
Any updates? looks great so far, how's it going?
car looks mint very nice does it have a slipper spring rear or can you run a 4 link with normal spring set up ? rs1800 s always look mmm mmm :-)
Shell looks a bit rough
Looking forward to some updates...........Really do like the look of that X-Member.
Does it help with sump clearnace issues with mounting a YB
Beautiful lookin mk2 that
What are the benefits of that tubular x-member apart from the weight? I realise you are chassis mounting the engine
