Default 1990 Escort cosworth michelin/pilot display rally car

Think its time to post my new project and how its coming along so far:) I started restoring the 1990 michelin/pilot escort cosworth, once driven by Malcolm Wilson and co-driver Brain Thomas, it was then donated by Ford to there Heritage department where it continued as a display vehicle. But for some reason they sold it on after stripping most of the parts off the car. The person who bought it, was intending to restore it but ending up leaving the car outside for 10 years :/ sooo now its time for this car to get restored to its former glory:) At the moment its been fully stripped down to bare shell and its been for its acid dip at SPL LTd and then it went for its roll cage up at SW Motorsports in preston, cheers to all the lads up there. And now its back here for some more body work :)

As we bought the car, needing quite abit of work
Car stripped down before it went down to SPL Ltd for its acid dip:) I'll get some more pics on tomorrow with the new cage fitted

Look forward to your updates, you should sign up on www.escortrscosworth.com there was a thread about your car not so long ago when it was on ebay.

Interestingly enough somebody else has just discovered 1 of the genuine pilot rally cars your car was the display car for & is also on about restoring it to origional spec.
