Smile My MkV Escort

Kind of new to this project stuff so if yous have any tips at all it would be much appreciated.

Started off a few years ago when i bought myself a MkV Escort XR3i, it gave me some grief but i just loved them! 2 years ago i had to get rid of it though due to rot


I always had the intention of getting another if it came along at the right time and when it happened 3 or 4 weeks ago i had to get it.



This is an unfinished project which i picked up for €725(£630 roughly) which seemed like a good deal to me.
Heres whats on it(This was all the work carried out by the guy i bought it from, wouldnt claim another mans good work)

Ported and polished head
Modified MAF
Modified throttle body and Intake manifold
Modified Focus Race exhaust manifold and downpipe
Uprated Injectors
Modified Mondeo under piston oil spray bar
Uprated cams
Alloy adjustable cam pulleys
ACER Cam cover
ACER Bespoke Induction kit with cold air feed
ACER Baffeled sump
ACER Bespoke front strut bar
ACER Bespoke rear strut bar
ACER plug lead cover
Modified Fuel tank
Bespoke fuel lines

Uprated clutch
ACER front subframe
ACER rear beam
Mk6 Escort RS2000 reconditioned Calipers
Uprated front brake pads
Cross drilled and grooved discs
RS2000 Shocks and Springs













Now i have it ive set about trying to get the paint work up with G3 to see what shape its in.
This shows how faded it was.

Few before and after pictures-












Long way to go yet but hopefully il get there, cheers for looking

I like the performance part of the project ... it will not be just furious but fast too
€725 is cheap if the engine and the body are in good condition!
