I will be making as much progress as i can on the escort...although i need to balance the finances between the car and wedding!
Will be in for its respray within the next couple of months, if the weather will allow me to get out and clear the old shell out of the way. Then all new nuts and bolts to put it back together, Carbon fibre and 300+bhp.

im hoping to get the 5 up to a good std this year. hopefully before summer.
nothing major, just lots of little things.
then if work picks up, it will get a new gearbox and up the power to around 500bhp over winter.
