Default My Escort RS Turbo Cab Reshell

So unless some of you have seen it on another site here is my escort cabby

this is the car just after when i'd bought it in 2007, i changed the wheels to the ones in the next few pics at a Somerset car show in Bath

after bought (skuse the other site name. theyre long gone)








then at the show looking mint




Did a nice auto specialists manifold change







uprated the turbo to T35 hybrid



then disaster struck when i was on a trip in cannock and fog caught me out i hit an island at 20mph and it smashed two wheels and bent my chassis upwards towards bulkhead
I left the car overnight and had to go to motorsport wheels and buy a new set of wheels just to get me home




Result was, bent shock and arb, and tca bent too. i didnt know about the chassis until i replaced all these bits! Koni shock was £114 alone










wheel was much straighter after.
But i enquired about getting the car jigged straight, and they wanted about £450 to do it. and there was no guarantee to how the rest of the bodywork would re act to it dependant on rust etc.
So i opted to get a new shell
