    I too love Mk2 Escorts. PPC did a feature a while back on a Mk2 with a CA18. Yours should be fab. I hope to fire up my SR20DET engined 67 Alfa GT this weekend.

    I had to go top mount due to space issues. Powerspeed did a lovely job building me my exhaust. You are only down the road from me so if you fancy a visit and tyre kick drop me a PM. Would have loved a nose around Jim's Anglia but he is too far away from me.

    Cheers

    Jim

    Thanks Jim

    Fighting with the electrics at the moment trying to work out what the wires coming off the alternator two pin pluge R/W is to the warning light but cannot workout the other.

    Also as I am not using the S14 clocks the analogue signal out of the speed sensor is a bit weak so may end up with magnet on the prop and no input to the ECU

    Updated pics (just a link until my membership goes through)

    The Alpha is gorgeous and really needs its own project thread.

    I thought for post 1000 on sxoc I would post some pics of how the car started when I got it and with its first engine





    And a couple with the CA...




    At the minute im going ahead with a change of wheel to get a fresh look, hopefully updates will be up soon

    Cheers, Jim.

    fit like jim long time no speak however i have been keeping an eye on this every so often, conversion looks good and retaining the firewall seam made all the difference i think its a big mistake when people lose parts like that as they are part of the charachter of the car, cant wait to see her at crail

    also your on about new wheels, as you have upset the purists with the engine conversion what about a set of
    rota grid v


    in bronze with her lowered a bit more still with the ermine white would look pretty awesome

    Another update....

    Managed to get the car sat on the ground again after changing the wheels. I opted to go for 32gts alloys. There was actually a lot of work involved as I had to change my hubs to 5 stud so it took a while to get them on. Im happy with the results as I think it gives the car a totally different image.





    And an engine one...



    I will get better pics soon in the good weather, and hopefully a quarter mile run is next in the line!

    Cheers,

    Jim.

    Another update:

    Got some phone pics tonight after the car had a full front end respray. The splitter hasnt been painted yet so isnt on in the pics. It actually didnt look to bad but when it was moving the front looked a bit high

    The other car is my mates who done the painting




    Cheers,

    Jim.

    Mine will be an allrounder. For day to day, track days and maybe the odd show. Just got back from a 1200 mile round trip to Angouleme.

    Need to fit a torque damper of some kind before I give it any serious drag strip abuse.
