Here is a few parts I collected to start the build
Mk 2 RS 2000 Escort
couldn't chop original RS so found donor body and started with

Wheel tubs
Competition Engineering 4 link rear suspension kit with watts linkage

Competition Engineering 9in diff Romac floater kit Wilwood Dynalite 4 piston brakes 310mm x 22mm rotors
Strange aluminium Case 35 spline axles Detroit locker coil over coni shocks
Chassis work and half roll cage done by Donegal Engineering

G Force 5 Speed box

Adjustable control arms
Arb drop link
Compression strut kit
Capri struts with coil over kit Wildwood Superlites 4 piston 310mm x 32mm slotted rotors
Adjustable peddle box

Sand blasted and dipped body for paint removal
So that’s the start of it all, try to do the photo up thing







Dummy fit wheels for diff length






Back from Donegal Enginering to work on body

hi peter nice job so far looks impressive.

Hi Peter,

Its great to see your progress

It is certainly one serious Escort you are building!!!

Cheers,

Phil.

Sounds, and looks, like all the right ingredients for an absolute weapon.

Keep us up to date with the information and of course, lots of pics

Awesome stuff ! What is the spec of the engine going in there ?

Very cool project there, love the engine/gearbox package. Look forward to seeing more!

Thanks guys I think I have been trying to get it on the forum for about a year now after speaking with Phil
(Wilwood brakes) and a few other things great help thanks again.

Waiting on the fly wheel to be machined and redrilled for the clutch so to make bellhousing YB block to
G Force box.
The aluminium block arrives from the States on the 5th so looking foreword to that so now chasing up the dry sump system for it, any one got one here they want to sell.!!! Looking at a Pace one at this stage, pump is mounted on the aluminium sump.
Purchased original engine package from Stairsy good engine that’s what got me started, now I think im only
using the crank. The rest of the engine might be for sale soon.

Very very nice mate, and good choice on the box. What did it set you back if you dont mind me asking?

Rubber size on the back? and what sort of time are you going for?

Wow... it's hard to believe I used to drive that thing to work everyday ... The Granny Banger lives again!!!

It's looking very good mate... good luck with it and keep me posted

I'm sure sure Rhys will be getting nostalgic as well [:p]

What's going to happen to the RS then?

Alastair

Peter, It looks like your making some good progress there!!
It sure will be one tough car when finished.

I've had a good look at your car when it's been at Browny's, mine was the rusty mustang on the jig.

And that gearbox is a beast


Cheers Dan
