As some of you would know i recently 'crossed the floor' and bought a MK1 Escort. I wasn't looking for one but this popped up through a friend and it had too many goodies in it to pass up.
It will be treated to a full paint and then get the running gear out of my green MK2 and be re-born as my new track car.
It came with a Frank Lowndes built pinto running IDF's and RS exhaust manifold LSD, 4 wheel discs, brand new cage, adjustable pedal box, quick rack, round light conversion plus heaps of other goodies.
I have some twin cam front guards to go on before it gets painted in white with MK1 RS2000 stripes.
I am planning to have it together in time for SFS 2011 and then do a full season of track work in it next year.

Nice pick up Gareth. It will be a fair bit lighter than the mk2.
Keep up the good work

Nothing wrong with mk2's if you build them correctly

I agree, i used to make fun of MK1's. I wasn't looking for one but it kind of fell in my lap.
The weight saving over my late MK2 shell will be welcome!
