Thanks for the comments ,the sanding after painting gets rid of any dirt in the paint or any orange peel effect

This has to be the Most Stunning Series 2 Escort RS Ever.

Not read through the engine spec but if it is in need of a change in the future would you go for another CVH or go for a Zetec?
