~MK2 Escort HARRIER ~

[5hane]

hey,

just join'd up so think i should post some pic's of me car

*this will be very brief for the moment due to some one else's rubbish internetz*

the car : ;D







14inch rs wheels, made by pirrelli, beleived to only be 14 sets made.. EVER



the fun bit ;D , this is "gen 1" if you like, hopefully number 2 will have between 235-275 bhp






the plan is to try keep her pritty standard looking, slammed as low as it can go, and get the xflow up and running , i plan to restor me dads 4door (well one of em ;D) and use that as a daily once i pass me test (im 16) then slowly build this one up.

cheers for looking, what do we think ?? ;D

i would keep it exactly like it is ,, and plough all the effort into the engine ,, be safe though as you have many driving years to come ,,

make it watertight, make it comfy , make it reliable ,, then it will give you many good driving hours

[sam]

I agree. This is a super little car which will be worth more and look far better kept as it is looks wise. Uprate the engine etc, but do keep it safe too!!

Lovely car. It's great to hear your plans for it & see your pics. People like you are the future of motor talent in a lot of ways. Good for you!!

she will be staying standard, on the outside dont worry about that ;D

ive bought recently a mint interior and bits aswell, shes going to be a sleeper if plans go right and ill get my workplace to give it an exterior respray hopefully soon she will be lifted on our roll over spit and have all the underseal stripped off.

the only real changes to the looks will be the 14inch wheels and it wont have the sunroof. o and 2 cibies to replace the rusty standard spotlights (not in pic's)

ill try get some more pic's of progress up soon

[5hane]

ok, heres some more pic's

R5 turbo carb, plenum and solex intae manifold. also got a r5gtt carb rebuild kit



2L rs2000 front legs, converted to coilover just need to give them a paint up and add me new inserts (pic's later)



Bias pedal box , which also needs a pint up


cosworth 2wd intercooler, originally i bought a 4X4 intercooler off ebay (for £1.06 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but it was just too big, so now thats in me dads 3door (seen in pic, ish) and ive got his one hopeffuly im going to have it cut and rewealded 4 inches longer so it will fit round the rad and will be open to the two slots under the grill, should be quite stealthy


EDIS modual and coilpacks and bits, the carb'd engine will be running megajolt ignition which seems quite straight forward to set up


oil cooler


the interior (excuse the doorcards )






covered in crap


axel which i painted up after taking over a inch thick of underseal off it, needs a re paint really


stainless bolts for the engine bay


anti-tramp bars, anti dive kit and panhard rod (not in pic) waiting to go on


polyush kit


cibies


axel pre-paint


gaz rears


gaz front inserts


bits for rear disk conversion


and what she should look like once finished




any comments appreciated,

cheers
