JUst sold my R reg 5door escort.
It was a Cat C writeoff 5 years ago and was repaired with 2 s/hand front wings and bonnet. Hammered out and bodged at the rear and a repaint where
needed.
There was NO rust on it when I sold it.

The ONLY way to do it is engine OUT ----- About 12hrs According to the book!
Enjoy.
That is what Fiat tell you. There are a few specialist around who can do it in a lot less without taking the engine out. I took mine down to Powerfiat
in Essex and they took about 3 hours to replace the cambelt and all the auxiliary belts and the water pump. Charge £399 for the full job.
Not worth trusting a Fiat dealer with anyway!

who me 
as ive said in the past, ive owned several BL / rover - inc a metro turbo id did up over 6 years (my project car should take about as long too!) -
just dont fancy one of the current outdated crop.
and yes............ my winter project, the bike is just about finished!!!!!!!!
just gotta get the front brake fitted and working, and sort out a carb problem, and its in for its MOT.
ive had to order a carb overhaul kit from someone in the usa as it seems to have sticking float valves on one of the carbs, and one of the others
seemed to be flooding a tad too.
had to get a bulb for it from my local kawa dealer yesterday - first bit ive got from a dealer (ebay most stuff) - i bought one of these bikes brand
new in 1977 - its strange to go into a dealer and they have no idea what bike your talking about!
will bore people with pics in a few days when its all done.
no cambelt to change tho
just as well - everything else in the engine that moves (apart from box) is brand new. the 330 quid crank rebuild make my eyes water a bit.......

From an FTO owers club website...
Mitsubishi FTO V6:
Has different plugs with different service intervals on either side of the V. You have to take the inlet manifold off to get the plugs out on one
side.

Steve,
Look forward to seeing the pics.
One advantage to doing up an old bike is it can be done on the living room floor
