Looks very nice ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) and a lucky find, the rust was virtually nothing for one of those ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Are you tempted to fit the orange RS2000 decals? Looks like it has a lot of original RS stuff, ie. the sump, bellhousing, engine mounts & the Type E gearbox etc.. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) And I bet those IDF's sound nice too ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Thanks! In retrospect it was a very good shell,only minor rot in the most typical area's. The donor Escort was "re-shelled" and an Original RS car.As the previous owner crashed the car he buy a bog standart 4 door and fit all the RS stuff...... And there was much of the very expensive stuff in.... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ....alone the Atlas axle is a genuine RS item and cost now a fortune ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) The noise from the IDF's is awesome....i love it so much ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) The spec of the engine is very driveable with only a mild cam. Greet Totti

Now that is a beautiful Mark 1. A real credit to you, it's been beautifully finished. And the 4 door?

Hi! Years ago i thought about a Zetec-conversion.....i buy all the stuff for a lot of money,but than:The Oilpan does not fit on a LHD car!And some other stuff too.... So i drive the Pinto ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) .... But i think it's time now for a secound try! Today i pull the 2 liter block out of the shed ... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4299.jpg) The Flywheel is always machined to get the Pinto clutch.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4303.jpg) I don't like the new style V-ribbed belt so i make my own belt system that look oldskool. If the engine is in the car;later;and it's running i will go the BDA lookalike route with the Camcover etc. So i search in my workshop for the right pulley and found one from a Fiesta 1,6 Diesel.I change the flange...same diameter from the shaft! The old Zetec flange.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4302.jpg) The new hybrid pulley.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4300.jpg) lining up ....... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4301.jpg) My mate has got a lathe and will machine the crank pulley to take the belt.... More to follow.... cheers

Hi! Last week i startet the "dry fit" to have a look. When there is to much changes to make i will stay with the Pinto... So,first get out the old lump.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4304.jpg) ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4305.jpg) For the Zetec i will go back to the 4 speed Rocket-Box....better gear ratio's and the Gearchange is much better. ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4306.jpg) ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4307.jpg) Here we go.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4308.jpg) Looks not to bad!The battery can stay!And enough space for the Brake servo.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4310.jpg) The Alternator will fit without hassle.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4309.jpg) So,no major changes!I can get back to the Pinto without problems any time. But there is one problem with the Manifold and the Steering column... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4311.jpg) I have to change the pipe route on 3 pipes.... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4312.jpg) This took alone 3 days of fettling..... ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) To this... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4313.jpg) ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4315.jpg) ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4314.jpg) Next was to relocate the gearlever hole... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Escort/IMGP4316.jpg) Kindergeburtstag! Thanks for looking! Cheers

Love the car and what you have done with it i had a daytona yellow mexico back in the day and wish i had it now !! The only thing i want to point out is that each of the manifold branches should be of equal length from manifold to collector this being the reason they look like a bunch of bananas, I don't want to P on your chips especially after spending 3 days on it ive just spent the weekend doing my own manifold so i know what a pain it can be

Thanks!! ;D Yes,you are right!I know about the equal lenght of the pipes....but for now it's the only way for me.There is a LHD manifold from Retro Ford but than i have to bin the brake servo......and 428 quid ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I don't know how much hp the engine lost with my manifold....i will see ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The Zetec will stay OEM,no plans for big power,cams etc so i hope it will make 160 hp. Cheers

For now i hope the Zetec will run nice....still waiting to order the LHD sump and other parts from Retro Ford.Since weeks i try to order....but they moving premises at the moment.And the online shop doesn't work ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) Cheers
