looks sick man, show us the powerhouse!
I picked up an old escort ages ago as a daily while I fix up my sprinter.
Mk2, 1600, everything dead stock.
I fixed some oil leaks and gave it some fresh paint. I think it turned out pretty well.
Mine is the bright one on the end. Other one is my mates.

The power house is a bit lacking in the power department. But I can take a photo for shits. Will wait till there's some daylight.

Anyone here know escorts? I got some funky noises happening while I drive. Maybe diff, g/box or engine noises... takes about 30 mins of driving for it to start. Gave it new wheel bearings and the noise hasn't changed. I checked all the brakes for any kind of rubbing.
Noise is a whirring that seems consistant with the throttle. But also gets louder at times regardless of a change in throttle.
