thanks for the comments guys.....im aiming to get the car done for ford fair in august ....
as for the shell, its been sandblasted, primed & coated with 3 coats of white.....all original panels and unbelievably no welding......im trying to restore to concourse standard, the original s1 rs turbo rims have been sent for diamond cutting ....however i love the look of the escort cosworth 16" wheels
