Another busy week!

This week we have had a Fast Ford photo shoot for a customer with a restored S1 Escort RS Turbo. Just discovered it is the only Ford prepared S1 in gray! so I guess its RARE. It will be appearing in Fast Ford soon.

The black S2 Escort has been stripped and the knocking sound from the engine diagnosed as the pistons and rods having been installed the wrong way round!! Hello Piston Slap.
The Underground Graphics Mitsubishi GTO has had its rebuilt gearbox installed, I am quite looking forward to getting out and mapping the 2.2 Bar of boost that it will be running. We also finished the additional roll cage bars and got them TIGed into the GTO.

Collected a fully resprayed and smothed S2 Escort RS Turbo undergoing a nut and bolt rebuild, this will become the big job for the remainder of this week and next as we put it back together. This car has had a 2.0 ZVH bult using Cosworth rods and Mahle pistons, Newman cams, Sitech head and head gasket and GT28 turbo.

Also collected the Forged crank and full gasket set for the Honda Integra DC2, its going to be a very quick car when finished with its GT30 Turbo Conversion.
