Default First Proper Project Zetec Turbo Escort Sleeper

Hi all been away from the scene for about 5 or 6 years and had some sensible cars in the process. I used to have a Fiesta RS Turbo running around 195bhp so decided to buy myself a wee project to keep me out of trouble.

Managed to find myself a 1990 Ford Escort GL with a few mods, Mainly the Fiesta RS Turbo Engine lurking under the bonnet.

It's not mint but I wanted a good shell to start with that wasn't an RS Turbo as I was wanting to keep it as standard looking as possible so I picked up this Escort 1.6 GL.

Rot wise the rear outer arches and a seat bolt on the floor need done but everything else other than that is solid which is the most important. Although the front bumper , Stickers and the EFI conversion leads a lot to be desired but what can I say it's a project! Good base for my sleeper project.

We picked the car up from Ipswich and many say I took one heck of a risk driving it 400 miles back to Glasgow but it made it!

The car on the way up the road starting slipping the clutch like a maniac so we nursed it the rest of the journey home to make sure that it made it there!!
