Default Escort RS Turbo Cabriolet Restoration - (update 09.03.06)

The turbocharger on my Cabriolet finally gave up last week showering my engine bay with oil via the dump valve. This has at least given me an excuse to get the car off the road for the winter and spend a few quid on her!

I carried out a major restoration a couple of years ago with respray and new roof etc, however there is now work to be done as far as replacing some of the suspension components and tidying up other bits and pieces.

What I'm planning on doing is giving the engine bay a good tidy up, get the front panel sorted and of course change the turbocharger and uprate the intercooler.

Below are the first few pictures - more to follow shortly!

Last pictures before taking bits off!




Front bumper removed...


Headlights off and the need for a bit of welding by the looks of things!







Here is where she'll stay until all the work has been done


More pics to follow as I remove the turbocharger etc...
