Lots of catching up to do for anyone who hasn't seen this - Ep 11 has just come out - shell painted and a visit to Nitron 👍🏼

Why not? :?

edit: I am not going to view all the Gordon Murray stuff as it isn't a Mk2. Like it should be. What powerplant/box is he going for?

Watch it....Im not telling you anything...definitely not telling you that they are fitting a bespoke cosworth unit or that they have custom designed the rear subframes to replace the live axle with independent wishbones and Nitron springs & Dampers like wot my elise has. No you'll just have to watch it.

Just watched the first episode - brilliant - thanks for bringing it to my attention. Whenever I see a Mk1 Escort these days I go all nostalgic, and I've never even owned one!

At which point is a Mk1 Escort not a Mk1 Escort?

Watched the first 8 episodes last night. Great stuff by some talented guys. Looks like it'll be cracking when finished. Might watch more tonight when I get back from having a few beers in McEdinburgh.

I've now watched all the episodes over two days.

Another great series, although I'd love to see a video on every car in their workshop!

They need a bit of work on their sound levels though, a lot of time is turned the volume up to hear the talking bits only to be nearly deafened by the instrumental bits a few seconds later :lol:
