Nar mate, top secret shizzle that be.

I thought the pick up was on ebay a while ago. you decided to keep it mate

Nice pick-up

cool pick up very nice

Pen, we use the members rides section for cars that are finished and on the road. Or cars you have owned etc..

If your Pickup is still being built or you have things do do on it, the correct setion for the thread would be in the projects section..

Would you like me to move it for you.

Regards
Jano

Kewl car

on the rear suspension i had to make new leaf spring mounts on the bottum of the axle and put the lot above the springs it had to have new u bolts and i removed the rear bump stops, that lot lower it about 110mm

the standard s1 body kit is a bit shorter so i had to chop up a spare set of side sills and added a bit .

is your hand brake i the way of your knee, i will be moving my one to the floor

Mines a mk4 so had the extras the later Escorts came with.. The handbrake is in the same position as common escorts.

How does it handle with the leaf springs? I done the same as you on my Mk4 Escort Van which had the same setup. Then changed it at a later date..

I decided to use coilovers on my pickup which has leaded to loads of work to get the 5 link setup to work 100%

Can you show us any pics of underneath the rear end?

Regards

when i got it realy going it was a bit wobbly at high speeds, on the corners it is good but you can feel the axle move abit side to side i am thinking of doing the 5 link set up on mine. i will get some pics of the axle

when using concentric top mounts it makes it involved to be able to get the coil over up and connected with the chassis in a decent way..

this is what i was going to run but i think 16v will be beter
2wd loom
billit dizzy cos phase sensor
frst big head
stage 1 t3 + -31
and moded bits

were have you fited your coil over to on your?

the coil over, 5 link to fit on mine will be alot of welding to turet the rear inner archs

I seen your build pics when they was on ebay..

As you say 16v is the way forward. My pal also has a Mk3 pickup.

With yours and mine thats three of us on here

they turn a lot of heads on the road

fast ford said they would feature it, it would be good if all three were feture at the same time.

is the 3rd one a bantam to

Yes mate its a bantam.

how many do you think are in the uk?

genuine ones i know of 4..

3x Mk3
1x Mk4

Although i have had phone calls telling me that there are more..
