Hi Andy,
I know what you mean about the cars looking Awesome. Just the best looking Escort ever.
I will keep you posted on the trip to Europe, we are hoping to be able to run at Spa, Nurburgring and Silverstone or Brands. Could even get it to one of the big Ford shows??
I am watering the money tree every day!!!
Keep up the good work, the latest photo are looking good.
Cheers,
Gary

update time again the coil pack & ignition amp brackets are fitted
air injector bracket spacers made
i had to strip the turbo & move the hanger bracket around as it was in the wrong place as the turbo is in a new orientation now ,so i need to make a new turn buckle with new rose joints as the old one is to short .
stainless reducing misalignment spacers all fitted
started plumbing up the tilton pedal box
also plumbing the rear end up
also had to cut the actuator bracket in half turn it upside down & inside out so it lined up correctly ,i just need to get it welded now
more updates to follow tonite .
