mk3 escort zetec turbo, poss breaking, 23/10/11 gauging interest
started life as a 1.1, i brought it for £200 around a year ago on s2 alloys with 47000 miles on the clock in very good condition, i was removing carpet etc looking for rust etc and is a very solid shell. sat in garage for a while till thieves tried their luck.so i decided to convert it to run efi fiesta turbo management, ran ok for little while but melted piston or cracked ring or something on 4th cylinder going to ford fair so decided its a good time for a resto die to odd lil stone ding etc.
engine is not out and being stripped for respray, will get xrt_si to post pics as he took them on his phone whilst helping me.
here pic of my escort before it came off the road:

1600i kit is going on it lol, along with top spots, and i have the hella square ones with the white covers for the bottom.
the problem i had with brakes was getting the inside of wheels to clear the calipers, "twins" has told me a 17x7.5j comp mo should clear? anyone got any? i wana spray them black if they are not?

Fast Ford snapper
Lookin' good!
Deja Vu to what I've got in my lockup as well
Have you got rid of the teeny skinny 1.1 driveshafts and hubs yet?!
One of the first things I'll be doing to mine very soon before they snap!

Looking good paul, why dont you set up a photobucket site and host those pics properly?
Kams orion looks ok in those pics, should be good for 250bhp when done. Central day bet is mine boys, car is going to go on a major diet and a decent remap

im undecisive if i should keep the compomotives in the pics and get the powder coated, hopefully bonnet raisers and polybushes will arive 2mo so i can fit my rear disks, alarm was finished off being fitted 2nite along with central locking etc.
