I think it's time to add the Escort here as I have finally (after a week of ownership) added a couple of bits today
The day of purchase;


First I swapped the original radio for a CD/MP3 player; which sounds amazing with the TWO standard speakers which are in mono!

I picked the Escort GTi wheels up last night and have made a start on prepping them to paint dark metallick grey. One needs a tyre and two need centre caps as one is missing and another is broken. (anybody help)?


The RS500 steering wheel arrived today (brilliant) So I fitted that after some hugley helpfull tips from Daniel Wood on how to remove the standard bus driver wheel (oh and the horn no loonger works...)?

I then whacked on some smoked rear lights which I got off a mate cheap - I think will go very well with the wheels once they have been fitted.

I've got some 35mm lowering springs in the post too and have done a deal for some early spec front Recaro's, so plans coming along nicely.
I only managed to get these bits because I sold the XR2 so now on a tight budget for making the car go and stop faster.

But next I'll be building up the collection of parts needed for Zetec with R1 carbs conversion.

That's after I have a leaky CV boot replaced and a service done to the little engine that's already there for the time being of course.
