Smile My new pick up

as above bought it a couple of days ago ive got some big plans for it its the first escort ive owned which hasnt been welded and isnt rusty an hopefully it will stay that way lol
it has a series 1 turbo engine which is standard and will be staying that way i plan to dress up the engine bay so it looks as mint as the rest of the car future plans are focus rs engine and box.
Im in the process of buying bits for the car and i will update with any pics i take as they are fitted hope you all like as much as i do it certainly gets looks
