over past few months ive been building up this escort , I haven't many pictures as I did a video log of the engine conversion as ive had a few people ask me how to do it , I haven't edited the videos yet so heres a few pics that I have started as a 1.6gl , I fitted wheel cylinders and flushed fluid through , done a couple of bits of paint (need to blend door) fitted diesel box , escort turbo diesel engine with new clutch.belt etc its now got spax and ive replaced all the bulbs inc the dash , indicaters , stop and tail etc with leds once its through the mot ill turn the fuel and boost up a bit how I got it..... then engine change , wheels , paint and few other bits

Looking good Rodney. I would be interested in knowing a rough bhp figure using this set-up once you have fiddled with the boost and fueling.

Nice conversion. I imagine that it is quite easy to do, using ford parts. Or I am wrong.

it is easy , as long as you can get the right mk4 diesel parts although you can make mk5/6 parts work,.

Intresting that you can get the power up to that with no money outlay. Seems this a cheaper option than the zetec route as a breaker/parts car would come cheaper than a 130 1.8 zetec spec parts car.
