I can't belive what a horrible dash that is!!!! why spend Ł3.27 on a dash when the rest of the car has cost 20k???
deffo a sierra sapph speedo, imagine with 400+bhp in a mk4 escort it comes in handy awsome car though oh, last thought, would a set of escort cos clocks fit in, tidy it right up?? and that surround from gaz looks shit hot

Fair play Spadge, interesting project there matey!!

That's if you keep it long enough

Maybe the seats too low, becuase your only 6' 1" in your high heels.

Would it not have to be a Saph speedo to mate up with the RWD cossie running gear???

surely the RST one would be way out of calibration
