Just thought I would add a couple of pics of progress.
Here is the escort with the series 1 RS turbo arches and sideskirts and the RS1600i rear spoiler.
The front bumper needs a little work but that will get done when the infill strips get smoothed over and the car gets painted.

Hi mate, I think to start with I am just gona respray the bonnet the same colour as the top of the car and and spray the kit to match the lower section and the bumpers.
In the long term though I am going to put it back to its origional colour which is white as I have found out it is a very rare all white cabriolet of which there were only 300 made.

No worries mate, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Its just a shame that yours is wrong
The idea behind the badboy bonnet is to make it look a bit tougher at the front as it does look rather tough from the side with the series 1 kit and the rs1600i boot spoiler.

I never worry about the haters to be fair, too mature for that lol.
It is actualy a xs power manifold that I bought off ebay cheap.
As for the decomp plate I may end up selling it and fitting a set of calibra turbo pistons instead, that all depends on the guy with the calibra engine.

Hi everyone, it's update time again.
I have got more or less everything I want to upgrade on my escort now in readiness for the zetec turbo build so over the next month or so the car will be getting built up.
Keep you up to date as things progress, please be patient though as I have 3 other vehicles to get done too.
