Here's the engine

And one rear shock is on. Thought would be a quick job but when bloke to old shock of the metal insert in bush was left on so spent most of my time splitting that off. Talk about swearing just one more side to do

Both shocks are now on

And both door seals are fitted just need cutting to length

Proper moulded rubbers

Not most exciting things but all need doing. Will crack on getting old pedals out and new box in during the week

Chelmsford or Ongar depending when you catch him. He's run a fairly high powered Escort for years, and a good friend of his builds race Pintos. A 2.0 of his on decent carbs/cam ran about 230 odd brake!!

Certainly worth contacting him then.

how much does a 230bhp pinto cost! My na cossie owed me 10k, my pinto ran around 150bhp on 40 or 45's was good fun. i just like newer engines these days, I wanted a mk2 and still do. Orange is the best colour.
Who are the door seals from?
