hi all thanks for the replys hopefully ive a solution with different wheels which came on a car im breaking as of last week 
should tuck in under a slightly wider rst bodykit didnt want to go any more narrow on the tire width due to hoping for bigger power in the future.
so back on track bonnet, boot lid and bumpers are in the process of spraying at the moment, mirrors are done, front windows door locks rubbers and all thats sorted.
rear lights are done
front lights are in place just need wiring
got alot to do still but i have my deadline which is the 1st of july for our local ford show cant wait to unviel it as it has been a long time coming along with set backs and college but to see it at home with other beasts ill be happy.
its first track day will be augest 21st or 2nd with the retro stock boys so thats the deadline for overcoming all the little bugs

Have a look on www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk. A guy from Germany is building escorts with really wide arches. They are bespoke but will give you an idea.

thanks for the link they do look nice
speaking of link heres on to those of you whom are interested to the photobucket album of the build step by step weld for weld, i think a became a bit odd with the camera but due to it being origonally a college project it had to have been the way.
http://s609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/irishlad93/v6/
the car is over a year and a half under construction now which is both quick and slow.... i began in september of 2010 and those 9 months where the most franitic a guy could have with all the floor having to be in, engine gear box interior and suspension in a 9 month period but since my deadlines where relaxed due to achiving what i needed for my college project which was to change the car to rwd,, the project has slowed due to the time now for attention to detail and getting more expencive parts where now i have time to save up rather then just working with the donor cars i have at home,
future plans include :
finish spraying
clean up my new wheels and see where to go from there
rst archs modified a little where nessisary or the big alternative complete custom
coilovers
complete the wiring removing the issues that keep failing firing.
rear spoiler and a serious good clean
spray the underneath and the removable parts must go for powder coat (long term plan)
N.C.T!!
onto engine modifications
uprated injectors
supercharger with intercooler runnig 0.6 bar bracketed to old air con location
custom inlet plenum
stainless exhaust system with y piece for side exit

hi guys thanks for the compliments
its not the only rwd in the country but id be confident that its the only one with a scorpio floor pan.
got a little section in a mag too the irish retro classics mag. theres also another one in the mag with a yb and mk2 suspension with an atlas diff. nice car met him a few times
hoping to get to a dyno soon and maybe sort a management system but its running fierce smoothe.
any sugestions on what could be nice to do next??

I'm back
Anyone else leave they're car suffer and let life take over? I have but it' time for change.
new target with the car. Be ready for my wedding
I'm getting married in May 2019 and this is the cars renewal. It's rebirth so to speak
so what' needed.
WIDE ARCHES!! eh one drawback guys of using a Scorpio.... It's wide, so wide the original cars arches are catching the wheels if there's a bare movement in suspension.
STIFF SUSPENSION
bit of a boat the standard stuff. Ive bilstiens in the front but at the rear it' a case of wollowing Scorpio comfortness
HARNESSES. As you read
PAINT turns out painting a car in your own shed and leaving it sit for two years makes the paint a bit dull .... and green
ENGINE. Defibulator needed and a pacemaker. It'l be a few bits and bobs (mines a Boa) we'll get it back and hopefully no beating
so what will this mean to the tread it' back but I need help.
how do I fix the photo uploads that are now gone I' probably missing a few pictures I uploaded and would like to see them again
