This is a 1973 escort xl that ive been working on for the past 12 months modifying it to race spec. It runs a 2l pinto engine with twin 40 dellortos, big valve head ,tighe cam, pacemaker 4-2-1 extractors hopefully producing 130- 150 hp at the wheels, (alright for a car that only weighs 840kg!). Gearbox is a standard borg warner 4 speed with quick shift, runs a locked 3.99:1 diff. Front suspension has been upgraded to capri struts with custom strut brace, sway bar and nolathane bushes all round. Rear suspension has reset leaf springs with 2 inch lowering blocks. Brakes are mk2 escort discs and calipers but am currently getting bmw discs and volvo 4 pot calipers made to fit..... other mods include 6 point roll cage, vdo gauges, imported works centre console , mk2 wiring loom , mk2 column and steering rack, retrimmed mk2 rs2000 'scheel' seats. ENJOY
