got home early from work today so got a bit of time to pop up garge and re run power cable from alternator, around front panel, inside the chassis rail round to the back of box to starter, now just to run the switch cable for the starter ans starter is all complete. Managed to get the breather plumbed in too so slowly getting closer but really needing exhaust manifold back now

After a long time with the escort gathering cob webs and smothered in dust and dirt in the garage i finally decided to get something done again, gave it a wash then a nice custom 3" system made and manifold altered.
Escort cleaned and on 'A' frame to go for exhaust
manifold altered to fit turbo in as was failing on gearbox mount
new system with 4" scorpion tail piece
hope you like

right car is still being done @ clarkes (well @ clarkes) lol. but ive started getting enthusiasm for it again after battlesbridge and ford fair. Plans have now changed for the car after my mates having an accident and realising the importance of being well held in a seat and safe within a cage im now selling my 6 point to get a full weld in proper cage when money permits. ive sold my bucket seats to get some proper wrap around ones and got 6 point harnesses again. The biggest update is.........
ive now got an RS1700t tailgate to go on it
, prob going to get the rear wing done in carbon to really set it off
things to hopefully come will be louvered bonnet, flared fibreglass wings, 1600i front splitter (new door as damaged)

hopefully, want to do something with the front arches to cover the wheels but dont know what, i think the 1700t arches look a bit chavvy with kit + want to keep it looking fairly origional tbh, so thinking of flaring them so isnt too noticable?
