i disagree with this mike, dennis is trying to do new things with a car that seems to becoming forgotten what with everybody being jap and german orientated lately, i think this work should be applauded TBH.
Good work Dennis

Thank you, at least some one has seen the point of this car.
just before i started this rebuild i had to make the choice of sell up and get an EVO 8 or stick with the Escort and try to refine it more.
This is no Track car and has never been and wont be, its purely a road car that i enjoy. I fully understand that there is some Extreme track cars out there. but this is a road car with the compromises to match.
