Overdue update!

The Escort has been doing well, here are the latest changes:

Off with the RS1600i splitter which was looking very sorry for itself



Off with the rear wheel spats which were in a similar state



Car looks very basic and naked without them



Repainted with K2 Bumper Structure paint, which restores the spark eroded finish of the original parts





Plastics back on, replacement grille, pressed number plate to replace the broken plastic one, and some Hella Comet 500 lamps to replace the dinky Ring ones. Still sitting low as the brackets are on the bumper rather than in the proper location.
Just can't justify the cost of Carellos!



I've also replaced the front springs (rears ready to go on too), fitted poly ARB bushes and poly top mounts.

Next - cam cover.
