Students project car..
At the end of the year our students get to choose a car & in their grops, they need to get the vehicle running & in full working order.

They grabbed an Escort, which was in a sorry state. They got it running, "modified" a few bits here & there & basically had a bit of fun with it!

What you saying Mick ... ? ...

As it happens, I've got the viper stripes sitting in the shed .... soon as I work out how to get the spoiler off, they'll be going on ! Hopefully for Duxford.


Great work on the Escort though. Got some quality cars there for them to work on too.

My old college (clydebank college) had a track car project when I was there in 2005 and It was a rover coupe turbo which was took up to knockhill and at the time my bro had a fast nova and used to get a good race with it... Then once I left the college they done something to it to make it proper quick.. But it fell away due to funds I think then they tried doing the same with a modifying project with a similar escort.

Haha I done my level 2 then left it to take up on what i do now but Clydebank college was a bit of a joke tbh, the instructors had it easy as in they just let you decided what you wanted to do then watch you do it.... I remind a few boys trying to fit a old jag engine into a old vauxhall Carlton thinking they could get it to work... That and only having like 2 working cars..As with getting placements I was the only one who had one and had to get it myself as I knew the garage... So it turned into a part time job and nothing to do with the college haha.


The rover coupe the used to have they had it permentally up on the ramp and the ramp locked off so the local neds couldnt Steal from it...Apart from that it was top notch haha

Good when they get "hands on" experience.

Car ended up looking good.
