SE500 escort cab turbo project ** UPDATED 18/5/09 **
i thought i would put up on here the project that im doing at the mo,
about 2 months ago i picked up a escort se500 cab for not alot of money,
it was in good condition with brand new refured diamond cut alloys inc the spare wheels with new tyres, good roof, half leather recaros, cat-1 toad alarm and quite abit of history. only bad points were the doors had dents and rust at the bottom as normal.
the efi engine was nice and quite and pulled realy well but it wasnt going to stay in there for long
well the idea is to turbo it with a fiesta rs turbo engine and use it for the summer and then put it in the garage over the winter and redo the whole car so its ready for next year
parts ive got so far are -
full fiesta rs turbo engine
escort rs turbo gearbox
ofab engine loom and ecu
samco boost hoses
spec-r breather system
s/steel exhaust with down pipe to take a t3 cosworth turbo
alloy strut brace
airtec alloy rad
GRS front mount cooler with twin fans
rs 4 spoke steering wheel
im waiting to get a few parts before i start it as im going to take a week off work and get it al done then
heres some pics of the car and parts
any comments welcome
thats the car and now the parts
heres the new doors and rs turbo bonnet to be fitted when paited
