Default Picked up my new RWD mk3 escort today, some pics of it.

Has a rare Rs1700t bodykit which is still new but will be sold as it wont last 2 min on track

Front end is all mk2 escort but was built to take a cossie so the x member and tunnel etc have all the right mounts on them. Back end is a mental 1 off creation, very simple and very solid.



Ok will start off with some pics of my saff which kindly donated its running gear to the escort

First time its seen daylight in a few months



Andy getting ready to take the diff out (one of the final parts to come off as everything else was stripped months ago)



Andy and Gary being pleasant as ever



Andy trying to run off with it



First proper pics.








And finally back to its new home for the next year or so where it will get nursed back to full health














Got a van full of stuff with the car today and have to go back for the rest when its all been looked out

Got lots of little questions for you mate

They do look similar but dont know if yours retains any of the original inner wing at all ? going to blast the whole shell, tidy up some other areas that need doing and probably some seam welding for a bit of extra rigidity

Finished for October wont even have it rolling by then, got to complete the winter track car first (efi managed S2) before I spend any serious time on this one.


Think I'll be needing some luck with this one

Will get you some pics of the beam over for you to have a look at mate, you'll like it
