Here's my new escort which i purchased 3 weeks ago, i have been extermely busy to get all of the niggly bits done before it goes away for the winter.
The car:

Engine bay pics - i have been extremely lucky to souce a brand new header tank which topped the engine bay off nicely
Before:
After:
Interior - the bottom drivers seat bolster foams have been replaced with new items from CAPITAL SEATING
New foams:
Old foams:
Finished:
Stonechip repairs and a small scab on the rear seem the size of a pin head, repaired before it progressed.
Other new bits and pieces added

It's out of the garage for once 
runs quite well with 17spi, still need to get this setup more professionally but for the small distance it will go until april it'll be rete, pulls throught the first 3 gears very well but the ACT's are going through the roof, time for a front mount which will be replaced some time in december with an airtec item as i think i may be able to get away without cutting at all due to their super slim new fans.
few pics of it actually of the driveway
