This is indeed an awesome build. This will be second Escort I have seen converted to Silvia power (the first was running a CA18DET).
It looks to be shaping up to become something very special. Do I spy an AC compressor in the first photographs?

Cheers... Yeah, the aircon pump is from the old engine... The new engine also has an aircon pump which will be getting utilized 100% heh heh... Too hot not to have aircon over here.

Needs all putting together and the new dials/gauges fitting and then all the wiring needs doing... Exhaust, brakes plumbing, inside needs roof lining trimming, dash top recovering and new carpet fitting... etc etc. Probably be quite a while yet.

I bloody love your Escorts murf!
Is it expensive to get this sort of work done out there? There can't be many two door 'scorts that you don't already own there now!

Awesome car It looks spot on in white with the grey wheels. Is that front bib spoiler done in alloy, or is it a fibreglass one? It looks like alloy to me, but a mate reckons its glass. I want to make one for my car, it looks cool.

This car will owe me well into 5 figures when finished... So not that cheap... heh heh. I have 4 Mk1's at the moment, but there are others knocking about. They are starting to gain popularity now. The front spoiler has been made from aluminium 2mm thick... I will get more pics of it soon.

Ah ha, thanks for the extra pics of the spoiler. I was wondering how you got 2mm alloy to look like that. The car looks bloody fantastic. Keep the updates coming

Top quality work again Murf, don't suppose you fancy posting your guys over here to do mine too, free food and board...... On a separate note how have them cast 4AGE inlet manifold's turned out? Picked up a 4AGE for mine so will be looking into to purchasing one (and bodies too) sometime down the line when funds allow....
