As most of you know i've not really done a great deal in the way of modifying my escort yet... however i've jsut had my final text rebate through so have some spare notes to shell out on her. so my thinkin is: 1:New cam 2:Swap hydrolic lifters for mechanical ones 4: whees refurb. 5: new foam support for my drivers side recaro as my fat ass has broked it 3:Getting new battery tray sorted. 6: poly brush kit 7:maybe spax adjustables
Previously done, 7spoke soft lines rust patch of front sorted recaros fitted lowered by 30mm on avo springs cam belt New bosch HT leads 4 - 2 - 1 manifold and exhaust system new alternator new orignal ford spot light had a new original Carrello head light set of original ford speaker mounts for the rear, and two speakers also got hold of one of two plastic pins which hold the front speaker panels inplace.

I was just thinking that, powdercoating can't withstand the temperatures of an exhaust manifold?

no cause that majorly changes insurance! and its cheaper than getting a RS lump cause the RS lump is basically the same engine.

Well as some of you may know the escort is off the road for winter, however due to work and other stuff happening i havent managed to sort anything out on her yet. however before april she will get a nice new cam and mechanical lifters, full airflow and injection set up. hopefully will manage to start work on the underneath, clean up and replace any bollocked parts
