Default My Escort Cosworth :-)

I've had an Imperial blue one & a white one but I've always wanted one in this colour!

Big thanks to Comedy Dan for taking time out & driving up to check it out for me before I made the hugh journey to collect it & a big thanks to Stu @ MSD for checking it over & setting it up for me yesterday

The car's a small turbo model with a big turbo conversion running around 350ish bhp, has Koni adjustables all round, stainless exhaust, Spec R stuff under the bonnet, totally MINTY MINT 18" Rondells & a few other bits & bobs.

I'm planning on taking the tints off the windows as I dont think they suit the car.

What do you people think? (sorry about the rubbish pics)
















A couple of (dodgy lol) more pics added for those who wanted engine bay & interior pics

Looks lovely and clean AJ!

Lose the tints, and put some ambers and standard headlights in too! Will make it look less of a rep!
