escort estate resto (road legal track car!)
hello people been on here a while no and thought i would show you lot what ive been up to with my car!
started as a box std 1.4L H reg escort escort estate MK4 decided to go down the sleeper route and lowered it on 15" steels and fitted a 2.0 silvertop with RS turbo gear box, and fell in love with the car from then on! a little while later i had a little bump at the front!
so decided to do a resto on it! and a plan to go faster with boost!! i love the look of the MK3 escort especially the RS1600i so decided to fit it up with MK3 panels to get the look of a MK3 RS1600i escort estate road legal track car!
will post a few pics of the work i have done so far body work, hope you enjoy my work im about 75% done now have a look!
at the being!

I would be pissed if my pictures came out like that!
You need the img code from photobucket.

Photobucket should have it ready made for you just to copy over.
From some pictures ive seen looks cool and would love to see this in action

Think this is the route im going down as sod paying 600 quid + for a Quaife and ebay auctions of them seem to have dried up.
Did you have to shave 1mm off the outer diameter of the LSD? Which Ib5 did you go for?
