Nice one commig along now.Whats the size of your garage? Dont the neighbours complain about it being in the front garden.
As for gearbox tunnel you will need a bigger tunnel as the t9 only just fits it and the cossie box is a lot bigger easy to get one all the escort rally prep places sell them.

suprisingly i havnt had any trouble with the neighbours soo far, next door doesnt mind atall because he used to do rally prep work on mk1/2 escort back in hes day so he was actually quite excited to hear i was restoring my estate lol but from the road you can only really see the garage if your looking for it, we have a hedge going round the front garden that kind of hides it abit
also have a larger gearbox tunnel on order just need some inner and outer sills now
Wicked! Makes me miss my old can seeing yours i had adjustable gaz shocks on the back of mine and they wer great! Pretty sure there the same a Renault 5gt rear shocks but don't quote me on that... Lol
Is the van actually turbo'd already or just standard rs2k powered?
Not yet, throwing all the turbo gear in it over the winter.
I'm relatively new on here and still catching up with so many good reads. This one makes me more upset than most as I sold my 2-owner Mk1 1300XL (rebuilt by me with all Mexico running gear and f/wings) for just Ł450 back in '96. I paid Ł300 for the wheels & tyres only a few '000 miles earlier although it had been garage stored for a couple of years.
I had owned it since 1980 and it was Ziebarted (remember them?) from new so very solid, top and bottom. Midnight Blue to cover up that awful purple velvet colour. Even 1300E's didn't look good in it.
