Default my new project s1 cabrio... ITS ALL OFF!!!!

right-ho, as some of you may have seen i had a mk3 escort cabrio for sale with a manky s2 kit and bumpers in a dodgy purple... and after seeing Billycabrio's s1 cabby i have decided the only thing to do is build another s1 cabbie! i have done this exact same thing before, (c111 vlj :where are u) and made a 100% complete turbo cabbie! ( but then sold it to get engaged! ). so, this will be a slow and drawn out process what witha family and my saffffff project.... so a couple of photo's as she is now....








now with the s2 loom and engine removed



s2 dash !! poooooooo


trim needs a BIG clean!



well thats about it till june now as away for hols soon... roll on for central day 2006!
