Escort 2.0l 16v track day project update 27/10/12 rs 1700t bootlid painted
Thought it was about time we got a dedicated car to use and have fun on some track days,so with a bit of luck we stumbled across this little mk4 escort bonus ,a deal was struck, one day insurance sorted and we drove it home , going to be built up with mostly second hand bits from other projects etc ,but will still be built to a nice standard 
Plans are to fit a s1 kit painted flint grey along with a modified 90 spec bumper in flint grey along with rear bumper in flint grey aswell , car will stay silver as i think it will work well with the grey and a set of team dynamics pro race 1.2 in black, r888 tyres,full strip out in side, 6 point cage buckets (decent ones) and harnesses,full carbon roof.and poly windows,engine wise will prob stay away from a turbo lump ,friend has suggested 1800cvh, big valve head,cam ,lighten flywheel and twin carbs,poly bush, st 170 brakes and decent suspension.
Both arches are like this with a little bit of rust at the bottoms which will get sorted
Both sills have had work but will get a look over and tidied up
Black square around door lock is a sticker
All good in here
The throbbing power plant which wont be staying
This and the roof will be going for a full carbon replacement
Spent a couple of hours today stripping out the interior ,removed every single nut clip and bolt not wanted ,was nicley surprised at the sill just needs minimal work
Will remove drivers seat to get carpet out next ,seat staying so we can move it about.
More updates soon

Oh, and you need the hole cutter out on those interior metal panels!

1.8 cvh is a real donkey mate compared to a zetec, i'd deffo bung a zetec in there unless you want to go away from ford!. Then its ripe if you want to go ahead and turbo it later.......
