I must say, I'd sooner see it with an old skool NA engine in it, but fair play, it should go well, and that engine should keep the centre of gravity well down!
there was alot of rust in front floor pans where window was leaking ,have replaced them as you can see, rear of the car underneath is covered in diff oil very bad leak which as kept shell in mint condiiton at back ,chassey is solid as a rock
,had car on road for over 5years with 1700 xflow in it ,then it just sat for year's untill now
thats why impreza's handle so well with the flat-4 engine low centre of gravity and very light all alloy,still own 2x impreza's ,love them
.
but Mk1 escort alway's been my first love
have owned over 38 of them
