I thought it was about time I stuck some pictures up of my new project.

Its a group 4 specced mk2 Escort RS2000, It has had a hell of a lot of work carried out on the shell so there isn't too much that needs doing before it can be blasted then painted

I brought it off Andyescos off here a few months back and so far I haven't really done much to it at all due to just not having the space and time to touch it.

Spec of the shell is :

New inner wings, new outer wings, new floorpans, new splash panels, new fabricated parcel shelf, Grp4 round turrets, Ralloy Big gearbox tunnel, big diff tunnel, 4x seat bars, 5 linked, 4 link box brace, Works 14 point cage, Double skin bulkhead, engine bay gussets, Compression struts and new TCA's, Rolling on a Gartrac built Atlas axle and RS 4 spokes.

It has Gaz fully adjustable coilovers all round with rose jointed top mounts on the fronts.

I have had a Yb sitting around now for over 14 months which before being fitted will have a freshen up

Basic spec of Engine is :

New 200 block
Balanced Bottom end
Pocketed Pistons
Flowed cylinder head
New T34.48

Engine has only covered 5k since it was built by A1 but as it has sat around so long I'm too worried about running it without inspection

It was running stage 3 (greens) but I will most probably have it long studded and run on a set of greys with a wrc head gasket as I plan to use Nitrous on it eventually as I dont want any expensive failures once it is fitted.

I have been looking into the Pro Alloy IC and Rad combo but I'm still unsure wether this is a good route as it seems not many have gone down this route as of yet, so any info and advice on that would be appreciated.

I'll update the thread as soon as parts start arriving and other fabrication has been completed
