Default The jof aka mk3 escort turbo

as above just bought this off my mate it started out as a mk3 escort xr3 non injection with 92k on the clock.
my brother owned it before my mate and it was original in xr3 form then my friend bought the kit for it fitted it sprayed it etc.
now it looks like a series one and is very clean for its age.
the engine is a 2.0 zvh turbo this consists of a 2 litre zetec bottom end with wossner forged pistons a fiesta turbo head with a fast road cam, a t34 turbo an mtx75 gearbox conversion and focus rs diff.
the brain of the car is megasquirt.
i bought the car this way for a good price as hes skint ive been buying goodies for it and pix of the goodies will follow
