Default escort rs turbo f828 vbv going efi

hi guys this is not a full resto but my rolling project.
going to start from the begining from when i bought the car.

this was the photo on piston heads when i bought it.


i did not change anything from the exterior for about a year. but when i got it the engine bay looked like this.




the spec was pritty much standard.

air filter, 2.5" mongouse exhaust, chip, -31 actuator, ffic, and stainless and crome bits.
also it had full spax ajustible suspension, 17" dimond cuts, bad boy bonnet (which i hate) open mouth front bumber, show cage, boost gauge.

so when it came to my birthday i got a bit off money so spent most on parts .






i fitted a HID kit but was more hassel that it was worth but looked good



was driven like this for a whie. i couldent have any one in the back seats because off scrubbing so i stripped the rear end out.
and did this lol (Why o WHY) lol



did this but looked gash lol so now its like this because i hate bare metal and i can cope with this. like this now



i fitted a swich panel which has act gauge swich for flamer kit, swich for my fans ( only because i melted the plug so i got a msd one to fit on. and push botton for intercooler sprayer.



wrapped it in carbon stuff.



bought a 3 inch exhaust system from turbo back not fitted this as yet its got i hole for lambda sensor so need to get hold of a kit for this. bought it off AJC off here top guy he is.
i got this which holds afr gauge just need anougher gauge to finish it off.



i change the wheels because the 17" where anoing me with the amount they scrubed so i got these. tsw evo r's 16"
i got them cheap so had to re furb them this was in primer



i was going to keep them a simular colour to this but then ma dad said try them orange if you dont like it can always sprayed a different colour so i did lol and i love it





this is how it looked before classic ford show




last week i bought a full 6 point saftey devices cage



thats pritty much it for now got a lot of part to fit and get but over winter all the cromey bit are getting powder coated black i think. got a full polybush kit to fit (thanks RAJ) and rear disc kit. looking for some 2 wd cosworth four pots and i will be happy for a while lol. and got a carbon bonnet on order from performance trim.

any comments cheers joe
