Sounds like it was a cool car. Shame to hear it met a grizzly end.
Thanks! I don't mind the old cortinas either. A YB cosworth engine would be unbelievable in the little pano! But the ae86 is where all my spare money goes so I think the escort will stay fairly stocko.

That's fair enough dude
If you ever wanted cheap power, could bolt in a pinto 2L. A mate had one in his TD, stock bottom end, ported+polished head, cam, breathing mods etc. Quite surprising how much power you can pull out of them, and they have a very usable torque range.

The whole car is down to only one oil leak lol. . . the dreaded rear main.... hope to tackle that next weekend.

Good luck with the sale!
Brings back memories, I had a white one as a handmedown as my first proper road rego'd car on my Ps. Post 1977 emissions spec 1600 motor has a tyre shredding 46kw, fastest mine ever went was 145kmh, indicated, downhill, and it took a LONG time to get there!
Pretty well balanced though, nice steering, fun little cars.
Needs more forest arches and 13x8s
