Default Ford Escort Mk4 1990 RacerRC

Hello dear comanions.
I thought i should have to post a topic of my car.
It's 1990 hatch Escort, 1,6 l 66 kw petrol engine.
I am restaurating it. It will be few day's to get it resprayed or painted as you wish.
So here are my car pictures.
When i got it it was like that..



Then i put my RS steering wheel from my estate Sierra in...


Finally i started to restore it form the bottom...










Then i started some bodywork...










And here i am today













Yesterday's result
