New member from the UK, bringing over my mk2 Escort
Hey all,
Found your forum after a fair amount of searching - glad to see there is a community on this side of the Atlantic passionate about English Fords!
I moved over to Utah earlier this year, and I'm in the middle of shipping my 1980 mk2 Escort over. It should be here this side of Christmas with any luck.
Is there any other members from Utah, or even better, any Escort owners? Anyway, here's a photo of the old girl. Lots has changed since this photo, including a full engine build by Mike Lowman racing, complete brake and suspension overhaul including adjustable coilovers with Gaz inserts, 3J Driveline LSD and a roll cage!
Thanks!
Dave

Well, after quite some time, the old girl is not only here on the ground in SLC, UT - but she is now fully registered and roadworthy.
Following 3 years of sitting, I flushed the old oil out, turned the engine over by hand a few times and she fired right up. The xflow is a beuatiful sound, especially with a set of Weber DCOE carbs bolted on!
Hopefully see some of you around on the roads. Would love to chat with more mk2 Escort owners.
Cheers,
Dave
