I welded a ring onto the bumper mount at the front, Rear is a bit harder try and find something of the chassis. Dont forget a lot of people use the loop of tow strap too.. but check you rules.

not much has happened with the escort lately, but have been making lots of phone calls, and lots of studying on what way i want to go with it:) rust is next on the list, and getting a quote in the following weeks, also holes down the side from the old mouldings filled, then want to have it resprayed by this christmas! also been thinking of what id like to do with the powerplant, still very undecided... was leaning towards doing some work to the 1600 and making a turbo setup, with a little garret turbo a mates got. will gets some more progress pics when some progress takes place:)
