MK2 ESCORT
BUILDER: DAVID McDERMOTT FROM: AUSTRALIA
Planned spec: Tarmac arches, SR20DET engine, Hilux axle, LSD What’s the story: David’s Mk2 Escort is shaping up to be a bit of an animal when it’s finished, and while the exterior owes more than a nod to the works cars thanks to its Tarmac arches, under the skin it’s a very different animal, running a Nissan SR20DET engine, shortened Hilux diff with Trutrac LSD, and electric power steering — needed for those 9x15 inch wheels, no doubt! “Your magazine has been an inspiration for hobbyists like myself.” Thanks David!
