Default New Escort owner

Hello all,

1st time poster, long time reader. Just bought an Escort in Switzerland that has had quite a bit of work done. It's on the way to the US ( San Francisco ) at the moment & I am hopeful I will receive it in mid-January.
She's supposed to be somewhere around 360bhp at the moment but I'm already putting together a list with Mark Shead to bring her to 450-500bhp.
Next on the list will be a gearbox upgrade & will do everything at the same time.....

Billy.

Nice looking car and welcome to your first post! Keep the updates coming. Mark did my 469bhp upgrade and it spools up faster than my old T34.

Thanks !
1st job will be to remove the headlights & replace them with standard lights as well as side lights.
Will update as I go. Really looking forward to getting some more power through it....!
Below are some pictures showing her underside & getting loaded onto the truck in Switzerland.

Hey Billy,
Who are you using to import this and get it 'Federalized' in US?
Thanks, Gary

Hi Gary,
I'm using CARS ( Classic Automotive Relocation Services ) to transport it through Europe & UK, then to me. She's currently in a warehouse in the UK awaiting a shared container. Once it arrives to San Diego they will do all import paperwork & ship the car to me.
I'm importing it to California but will be registering it in either Montana or NY as I have addresses in both. California is too complicated for reg.
