I'm up and running again, with a plugged in maf! [emoji16] Managed to attach the pipe across the front: Speed bumps are a definite no no now though!! Then took her out for a little run and after a couple of splutters at about 3500rpm it seemed to clear and run well[emoji41]! Just a final bit of tinkering and perfecting it now making sure nothing is rubbing etc and I'm ready for the trip up North next week[emoji106]

Thanks, it's been in the planning for a little while. I'm only 21 and a motorsport engineering student so I am trying to do this on a budget but making sure I buy the right stuff so I encounter as little problems as possible. Being able to do all the welding and spannering myself has saved me thousands already!

Pictures to be sent today

You've got to love a mk1 escort!

More progress For torquing the cam chain sprockets, they are torque to 44 ft/lbs (if I remember right) and then 90 degrees, so I made this little paper disk that has 90 degree lines and sits over the bolt head, mark where one of the lines meets the cam sprocket, then tighten the bolt until the next line lines up with your mark. I got my turbo drain fitting welded into my sump. I used a -10 AN aluminium weld on fitting, some black hose fittings and some stainless braided teflon line, all purchased through Torques on eBay who have an amazing selection of fittings etc. and great service.

Interior looks quality!

Welcome back Mate. What was up with them?

Diesel box and use the bell house of the vr

You get the url from youtube and use clipconverter or keepvid - of course this is theoretical as there may be IP rights involved and they may not want you to! I prefer this one as it is THE BEAST!

How did they manage to crash into fork lift truck?
