Default Escort S1 RS Turbo Restoration

My mate's got an S1, had it for about a year now, and he's done a few things to start sorting the shell out on it, but due to the size of his garage (just big enough to fit his car into) it's a pain to work on.

And now, there's nothing in our garage, so he had a week booked off work along with my brother, and they got stuck into it yesterday, here's the progress pics of how they've gotten on yesterday and today:

The car as it came into the garage:

Well done ! Good to see another one getting some TLC !

Your garage is a lot bigger than mine, and i did most of mine in there too.....i know how difficult is it to do it in such a small space

Big respect though for taking it on.

Have a look at My resto thread on here, and keep the pics coming !
