Default my 9th Bonus......the TurBonus!

Been plannin to build one of these for a while but been waitin for the right shell, then this came up with all hard work done but needin a few things done to make it 100% so here's the Turbonus!!

Its a 1989 Escort 1.3 Bonus but a late, rotten RS Turbo has been re-shelled into it. Exterior has been kept fairly stock to surprise a few things 8)

















Travelled 380 miles to get her, mainly cos to look at, the car is identical to my first ever car (rip G191 OSH) and its got a good spec so far:

full stainless (Scorpion i think) pipercross filter, dump valve, silicone hoses, Spax adjustables all round, RST box with LSD, RST brakes, boost gauge, mint 88 spec Recaros and a solid shell.

Couple of pics when i got her via Pistonheads





So far i've just cleaned her up, removed spoiler and interior, put new plates on her and sorted a couple of wee niggly things.....plans involve a set up and tune once i've replaced the cam (bit noisy) and a bit of paintwork to tidy it up....hope you like 8)
