Cool Danish Escort Rst S2 project. BIG SPEC ZVH - 18/9-2011 Engine and gearbox DONE!! Pics

Hi there

This thread will describe my new little baby...

A Escort Rs Turbo S2 from 1987...


A friend and I bought it with a slight fire damage in the interior. Only to fix it, and sell it with a little money left for fun . But when we got it home to the garage, we discovered that the car was too good to be sold on, and i decided to make it mine ...

It had a few cool items fitted....

3 inch Magnex stainless

Complete Polyflex in the front

New headgasket (only covered 200 miles)

S&S pressure hose kit

New toyo tyres - 195/40 R16

Bailey dump valve

Etc...


Here comes a lot of pics









Some of the fire damage... Fu****g burglers


Nice big zorst


Taking her apart


99% mint bay no rust under battery tray or by the Fuse box




The same in the boot


But... It does'nt come without a price




But after a few nights with my Migatronic (welder)...






We decided to try and put some sound deadening in the roof. It is a "motorsport Edition" without sunroof ... Therefor the roof is quite noisy. But we put an end to that he he...

Before:


Cleaned and primed roof...












And the result:


AMAZING difference ...
I know its a heavy material, but its worth it. It is going to be a daily driver

This is the last picture as the car is at the moment



I have a lot of plans...

The body:


Resprayed i original White

Clean bay

Oval side blinkers

Smoked rears

De-locked

Tinted windows (one of my professions)

90's spec front bumper and rear spoiler

Rs Seven spokes in 7½x17


The result will be something like this:

I Really LOVE this car



And for the Engine:

2 litre Zetec SE conversion with:

Brian Hansen tubular manifold

BIG turbo (haven't decidet yet... Any advices???)

Homemade custom inlet manifold

Spec homemade Gearbox with Quaife Diff.

Some kind of programmable engine control unit...

Etc


I'm hoping for a lot of responce an some helpfull advice


Cheers... Kasper - Vejle - Denmark
