MK2 Escort 1600 Sport
Our most recent project is a genuine MK2 Escort 1600 sport, We were commisioned to create a reliable fast road car, fully trimmed but with a modern engine.
We sourced a vauxhall C20XE and gave it a full overhall, mated it to a pair of weber DCOE 40 carbs and used a mapable MBE ECU to control the ignition. We bolted up a type 9 five speed gearbox and finished it off with a Titan traction master LSD. The inside was treated to a retimmed set of fishnet Recaro seats and electric power steering system. All in all we have tried to create a vehicle with the best bits from a modern car but with the retro look and feel of the classic Escort.
Project Skid Mark
Another one of Retro Ford Magazine's project cars, this time though, it's all very serious. The interestingly named Project Skid Mark started off life as a humble 2.8i Capri and is well on its way to being a fully fledged drift car for the 2011 British Drift Championship.
Nothing has been left to chance with this car, it will be an out-and-out weapon. After beign stripped to a bare shell it was loaded up and delivered to RNJ Motorsport who fabricated an extensive roll-cage to our specification...
