mk3 escort zetec turbo, roll cage made 5/10/10
went and collected car today as now has a cage done by alachi who does work in the old skool ford scene which looks great in my opinion and has really stiffened the car up, surprised the difference its made to the flex in front end just by rocking the car lol. heres a few taster pics for now although i forgot pics of cage into front turrets lol

being as its been a while ive decided to pull my finger out and crack on with the car. Ive sold the over gearbox manifold and have ordered a devil developments as i ran out of room, purchased a gt30, tial v44 wastegate, gt30 fitting kit, baileys pre turbo filter (not sure if i can fit it in the line somehow?) new suede 3" deep dish steering wheel and modified RS motorsport centre and boss to fit. engine bay has been seam welded and repainted, quaife fitted, pedal box all sorted and blead up, engine in, seat bars welded in and new sparcos fitted along with 6 point harnesses, aero catches cut in bonnet, oil cooler fitted. All pretty much done under bonnet now just waiting on new manifold so can bolt up the turbo and alter the downpipe and have wastegate/screamer fitted and then wings, scuttle and door painted, hopefully back on the road very shortly cash permitting lol.
