Engine is sound, but unfortunately my passenger side door pillar has been killed by rust, so a bit of welding is needed.
Old Escorts are very prone to the brown stuff.
Not the quickest of machines, but sound as a first car or cheap runabout.
Nice inside for its age.
Very stable at speed, good for 110mph with a bit of a tail wind!
I also own an.85 Escort L. The rust isn't that bad on mine. The only really wrong with it right now is the idle needs a bit of work. Any ideas how to adjust the timing? Is it possible? I have an automatic transmission, 2 barrel carb. I've been trying to figure this one out, but can't seem to find the right bolt to turn, ya know? Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks!!
