Sam wrote on facebook.... Dad just rebuilt metro 6R4 escort . And now M.I won't let the machine run ! Was going to sweep in Monaghan stages . will be at scrutiny 2moro for a final attempt but not looking good !

car on its way to scrutiny

took it for a spin and its some machine

Did it pass scrutiny, i.e. will it be running tomorow?

Did it pass scrutiny, i.e. will it be running tomorow?

no didnt pass scrutiny

no didnt pass scrutiny

On what grounds?

something to do with log book.

took it for a spin and its some machine

What sorta a box is he after putting in her?

took it for a spin and its some machine

fair play to all involved in its rebuild, it looks as good as it ever did,

hopefully now they can get something sorted to get it back out on the stages

there was a question on FB that how can the Fubaru run if this cant with both being hybrids

Good question....

does the 'Fubaru' not use the complete Subaru floorpan with an Escort shell stuck on top?

Think it does David
Like the Escort has underpinnings of the Metro

does the 'Fubaru' not use the complete Subaru floorpan with an Escort shell stuck on top?

not a standard shell either a stretched shell on the Fubaru if im right as well?

Great Rebuild hope they get the escort 6r4 out at some point

Think it does David
Like the Escort has underpinnings of the Metro


Only guessing, but the Subaru is a production chassis, the Metro isnt? Would be great to see the Escort 6R4 in use again.

Eoin, again, just guessing and using what knowledge I have from kit cars and the chassis determins the identity, you could put a garden shed on a Subaru chassis and I think it would still get on the road. Anyone know what the log book says for the Fubaru? My bet would be Subaru

It makes no difference David what chassis it is as it could be a fabricated floor with subaru running gear
just seems strange why one car can be passed for rallying and the other not
what engine is in the Escort 6R4?


You could argue that the Escort Cosworth shell was originally 4wd.
until those that own the car can say what floorpan is in it then we will just have to wait

what engine is in the Escort 6R4?

A full house Goodmans Engine..
