Mk3 escort zetec turbo sleeper (engine bay painted 24/8/14)
Thought i would start a resto thread and show you guys my project.
Right the car,1.3escort been sat in a barn with a collection of other cars for 10years
My plan is to make it a sleeper,so i brought a 2ltr blacktop zetec and have brought various focus rs parts and had some left over from my focus rs.

Only a small update because it got dark before i got chance to take pics.
Anywayz managed to strip the interior and really happy that the only bit of rust was on the passenger seat mount.
Cut out the rusty battery tray and my mate dropped my upper sump round with oil return welded in.

just what im building soon, i got a mint mk3 rolling shell thats painted satin black with full mtx conversion, just need to build up an engine and have it painted.
zetec turbos are wicked, i live the one in my fiesta rs, but for my mk3 i want to try and find a frs mk1 tall block or bottom end to use.
keep up the good work so i can keep an eye on it
