Thank you all guys.
I really can't stop smiling everytime I simply think there's an Escos in the garage.
It really is a dream come true.

Cozzfather, it may have taken a wile, but no other car does it for me as this one does, so i'd never go and buy something else. It had to be an escort cosworth.
As for the first drive in it, I can't even describe the feeling of happiness and acomplishment of driving MY escort cosworth.

Andy the plans are to try and keep improving what's less good in the car, such as the paintjob and a few minor details. Don't know if I will be able to afford a big brake kit, and wouldn't like to have to change the standard wheels, nevertheless I'd like to improve the braking power.
Then, since the suspension is already taken care of I'd like to go for a bit more power. Nothing too fancy. 280/300bhp will do it for me. The car already has a bmc standard box air filter and a mongoose exhaust, and I was thinking of adding a 3bar map sensor, -31 actuator, green injectors, rs500 intercooler, a chip to go with all this and I think I'll get to my target power.
Of course all the plans for the car will be extended in time because Portugal is not exactly the best place to live in western europe money wise (actually it's the worst), but hey as Chip said we have good weather.

Tank you all once again for your replies.
