Quick update on the Millington Escort, after the last rally the engine was running little too hot, especially when queuing up on the stage start, so we decided to upgrade the radiator to a larger core (safari spec) and a larger 12" spal fan from the 11" that was fitted.
Should have a proper test on the next rally: Glyn Memorial Stages at Anglesey circuit next month

The shell is currently at the bodyshop, fitting the 13" wheel alloy tarmac arches, alloy front spoiler and rear RS1800 type spoiler, also dry fitting of all trim, bumpers, grills etc. We should see some colour this week, a bright shiny radiant red to be exact :)

VEC100V - The original Motorsport Tools Escort Mk2
Originally built as a Group4 tarmac rally car back in 2004, competing on a wide range of event through Wales and the north west, mostly single venue tarmac rallies and later some closed road events in Ireland including the famous Carlow Mk2 challenge and West Cork in 2007. We then moved on to various forest events in Wales such as the Cambran rally, mid wales stages, Sweet Lamb etc.
Having been in storage for the last 5 years due to business commitments and other projects, we think its time to bring the VEC out again for some action. Will be doing a full service over the next few weeks including new upgrades, new seats, extinguishers , harnesses and a general freshen up.
