Nearly 2 years ago I bought this as a project.





Luckily it didn't scrub up too bad but there was a lot of work to be done.









The inside didn't look quite as nice though It was a little off putting to say the least.



Now after nearly 2 years of hard work it is about where I want it It's had a complete respray and last week I fitted a new front bumper and a couple of months ago I changed it to stage 3 with a T34 turbo, dark greens, pace rs 500 spec intercooler etc There are still a few niggly jobs left to do but I am happy to say this is how I want it now









I spent a whole afternoon the other week with a mates VAX cleaning the interior It came up like new, I need a couple of new bolsters but they are cheap off of ebay













The exhaust still needs lining up but a friend of mine is going to take it to his work one day and line it up on his ramp I think I'll get him to heat wrap as much of it as he can because I still have a huge roll of heat wrap in my garage











The new intercooler is quite large



So that is the story so far I hope you like it.

ultimate sleeper, keep an eye out for it around Slough because I might take it to work now it's done

 

top work looks great

 

Stunning

 

Looks so much better now mate well done

 

looking good

 

I must admit that when I look back at that first photo I don't recognise it as my car. thanks for the positive comments I've posted it on 4 forums (the other 3 are jap) and i've not had one negative coment yet

 

Total transformation there, looks GREAT!!

 

Thats awsome m8

Hats off to ya

 

It's come up really nice that, love the standard look

 

Looks gorgeous.

 

Couldn't of done it better, its come out amazing

Love it as Ford intended but a nice set of wheels would transform it IMO

 

That looks amazing

 

Good effort - seems like a totally different car now, well done.

 

Thanks guys I'm still waiting for the previous owner to see it because he is on here

 

who is that?

 

Fookin yes please, looks spot on!

 

Looks awesome mate, all the time and effort has been well worth it.

 

Very nice

Looks lovely mate, a real credit! The only thing i'd do though is just chop the rolled lip off the tail pipe so the exhaust looks standard too! For me, that would finish it off!!

 

I bought it off cosjapeater (Ben) He was building an escort cosworth last time I spoke to him

 

ah right, im sure he will be in for a suprise when he see's it


if it was mine, id take that exhaust off & give it a Bufty session lol

 

The difference in the engine bay is the most spectacular! Well done!

 

Would you ever sell? Gotta be one of the best colours for a saph!

Looks good Paul.

 

it's not really a bufty car despite appearances I'm hoping that when my mate takes it off to align it he wraps the whole thing lol.

 

Difficult one that. I've tried to sell it twice now but enjoyed the test drive so much I've kept it I want a skyline though so maybe one day I'll sell it.

Thanks

 

all i can say is AMAZING!! love it!!

 

looking good m8, nice clean engine bay with the black hoses

 

deffo looks better with the orange lights imo

 

yep it does make it look fully original, also the rearlight units

 

Very nice indeed. Well done.

 

looks very nice

 

i have no chance of seeing it as i work in the city but then again, if you work in slough on the weekends then i really hope to see it

Good inspiration this car
