Default 1990 Escort RS Turbo Mercury Grey

Here for sale is my recently rebuilt 90 spec Ford Escort RS Turbo. I built this from the shell up about 6 months ago. I previously brought one that had a bad rot problem and a fried wiring loom due to bad wiring from the previous owner. So rather than run the risk of buying another bad one I decided to build one doing the job properly.
I started with buying myself a mint shell with no rust from someone who was breaking one that also had a wiring problem. Using the rotten Escort RS Turbo I swapped all the parts I needed over restoring and replacing every part that was worn. I have been very fussy and particular about this car because I wanted it perfect.
Below is the spec of the car and what I have done to it, I will be very sad to see the car go as I have put a lot of hard work and time into it. The car has only done about 1500 miles since the rebuild and is currently garaged not getting used, the car is warmed up to temprature every weekend to keep everything operating properly. There is a dyno print out for the engine when it was in the old shell at 228 bhp.

Looks worth the money.

And best of all looks perfectly useable. No point spending decent money and not wanting to use it.
