Few pics for you , finally got round to doing some serious hours on the shead ,

Bought as a semi started project but when i got it back to the workshop i found thet absoloutley everything was pissed , rotten or very badly made , so in the end i have actually done twice as much work needced to do a conversion like this , but ive saved another S1 even if its not for the purists ,

when finished itll have 300BHP of Focus RS engine , on cossy running gear , coil overs and a full colour change to moondust silver ,

ENJOY


as i bought it

bit of a shead

Made a spit


Rot and shoddy workmanship allover the place , Angle grinder time !!


The underside , complete new floorpan fabricated , not cut out of a siera , its also 1.5 inches closer to the floor which will be nice for handling and track use

Time for a fron end blast

etch primer

and another

seam sealer

Gravitex , so it lasts another 20 years

and the inner wings

inside floor pan

start of the paint base coat



Going into work today to apply the clear coat , including underneath .

Then its onto the rear , everything is in but waiting on a pair of new rear wings , fully weld it up , then paint the rest and start to bolt everything in , shouldnt be to long till its done , maybe out in it at the end of summer , Then start my Mk 1 escort
