That's right folks.
After 16 years of drooling and dreaming of owning one of these one day, that day has finally come.
Since of yesterday I'm now the proud owner of an escort cosworth.
What can I say? I'm in heaven.
The car's a 1993 big turbo and was owned for the last five years by a friend of a friend so it was with some peace of mind that I bought it.
The car's not perfect, but is in fairly good state, the only thing less good being the paint job due mainly to the front being a bit stone chipped. It also doesn't have the front lower splitter. Apart from that, everything's ok.
The car has 172.000km (+/- 107.500miles) but the engine suffered a full rebuild some 22.000kms ago (+/- 14.000miles ago).
It has ultimate springs and bilstein shocks, sparco strut brace, samco boost and water hoses, bailey dump valve, mongoose exhaust, sparco pedals, sparco deep dished steering wheel and B&M short-shifter and aluminium gear knob. All the rest is standard.
I've been on here for 3 years now and I'm counting on you guys to help me take good care of my baby because from what I gathered, I think it's gonna be a love/hate thing.
Instead of opening a thread every time I have a doubt I will be doing it here on this thread. Thanks in advance for everything.
Here's some pics of it for you guys...
