Default MY NEW TOY FOR NEXT YEAR IS FINISHED (with pics )
Right where do I start well at the end of last year I decided that it was my lot with concourse after winning working class cosworth in 2004 / 2005 with my 3dr and it was time sell the car whilst holding the gold cup and the car being in top form and at its most value I sold the car in September with plans on buying a escort cosworth but I could not find one for the money that had so I decided to go the Italian route and got my self a lancia intergrale evo and spent the rest on modifying it to make it go as well as a 350bhp cozzy well at the beginning of this year the intergrale was all finished for the start of all the shows but it just did not stand up to the 3dr plus it just did not have a rs badge on it so I decided to sell it and just get my self a really nice saph 4x4 but while I was looking for one at all the shows and on the net a very nice man from north yorks ie paul (north yorks rs spares ) said to me I have got nice escort just up your street that just needs the tender loving care that you could give it plus at the right money well I got the car off paul with the intension of just rebuilding the engine after it melting no4 piston and just being pulled apart and left and giving the paint work a tidy up well I got a bit carried away and ended up stripping the car and doing a complete nut and bolt rebuild and a complete respray I have replaced every single nut / bolt / clip / bush /washer / and rubbers on the dam thing plus all the brake & fuel lines the car is now finished and ready to go but im not going to start using it till next year.

One other thing you will not see this car in concourse not whilst under my ownership!
I would also like to thank paul (north yorks rs spare) for giving me headache for the past 6 months and helping me out with some parts that I have needed cheers!

Here are some before and after pics
