mk2 escort estate RWD turbo,
i have looked at loads of projects on here and thought mine was a little different, im rebuilding a mk2 escort estate and fitting in a 1.8 zvh turbo engine, iv so far fitted new wings, full sills, both rear arches, one inner arch new floor sections bulkhead cut, splash shields, the list goes on and on!

Sounds like a different route to go down mate. I like it. (with the mk II, not photobucket) 
I'm new to this too, but I've finally cracked how to get pics up. Go on your own page thing (little blue shaded box that says Welcome, mk1turboestate) <<< click
You should be on your profile. Go to Albums (create new album) And upload all your pics to the album. MAX 20 per album.
Once youve done this, Click on the picture and it'll be enlarged. You'll notice a box underneath the picture with Picture URL above it.
Copy it and paste it.
Go back to you thread, and post a new 'Quick Reply' or edit the original thread.
Click on the 'Insert Image' icon on the message toolbar.
(The little yellow square with grey mountains and a moon/sun looking thing?)
It should pop up a wee window in the top left of your screen saying 'Script Prompt'.
Then paste in the box! (Ctrl V) Click ok.
Hopefully, your picture should appear in the thread...
Any questions or bits your stuck with, gimme a shout.

thanks for that, takes a while but think iv got it! i will add loads more pictures as the cars much further on than it ooks in the picture, i have a 280 capri shortened back axle ready to weld the mounts on, and have fitted anti tramp brackets and a panhard rod bracket, the engine mounts are made to, and will post pics of them , i have gone for a custom chassis mount so i could use a sierra sump without mods, the car has been painted underneath and stone chipped, every nut and bolt has been removed, its my first ever resto though,

what do u think? i have loads of pics i will put on over the next few weeks, iv basically used the engine i am to show you dont have to spend loads of money for a powerfull engine, i have broke up my old rs turbo cabriolet and have made the car fit around the standard turbo parts so its easy to work on and cheap to replace, the rs turbo rad fits up front with a very large grs intercooler in front, and it looks almost factory

these are some of the repairs i have done, im pleased to say the body is now solid as a rock with just the doors to sort out, im hoping to upload some pics of the engine in the bay because iv never seen it done b4, its been moved back about 3" so involved cutting the bulkhead, i have some pics on my phone that i will put on soon, im going for efi fiesta turbo management to get it going but will change to a custom set up when the funds allow, it all being done on a pretty tight budget and with my own hands,
