From: In the garage.....
Default Escort Thundersaloon rebuild and return to life....

I know a few people on here have an x-thundersaloon race car and so I thought I would share this build. It is being stripped back to bare and rebuilt up with a new JG 700+BHP engine, along with a new bulk head, paint etc (the last guy to fab the bulkhead did shockingly sh#t job)

Car was taken off the track after its last race, enginer removed to be fitted into a race car/kit car and the shell was sold where it sat in a garge for 14/15years. The engine was purchased about 8/9 years ago and even turned over

Spec is 14.5 wide tyres, metro 6R4 back end which bolts to the cage, MASSIVE undrfloor reserve tank and m-sport bag tank, mag hubs all round, 909 rack and more.

The aim is to have this on the track at ford fair next year

First job was to wash off years of gargae crap lol...
