well been on here a while now and have seen a lot of nice
Escorts so i thought i would ad mine to the project section.
i picked it up for $500 and it started out looking like this





a absoloute bucket of rust.
so far ive had it tidyed up and painted. as well as 4 link rear end,eb xr6 diff,modified gear box tunnel,modified cross member and s14 sr2odet motor with a few mods.was making 189rwkw but i hope to crack the 200 with a bit of tweking.and hole heap of goodies that will eventually get fitted.






will post some more pics when it starts to come together a bit more and i can get some better shots.

Looking good Matt
Good to see lots of progress
I saw another sr powered escort at mallala on sat they are very quick
Bet you cant wait!

Rhys

colour is a bit like the original colour of the car
just brightend up a bit with some matalic and pearl.

test fited the rear seat and it looks like i will fit
with a bit of choping. but probally wont be very useble.
trying to stay as stealthy as possible so will be trying
to get it all behind the grill.

Hi Matt.
Did you have your shell done up @ Lobethal?
I was up there after Scott recommended them and I saw a mk2 with moified tunnel etc and the penny has finally dropped! I went there to see how it was going and they said it was picked up last week. They commented it was blue with a twin cam engine.
Looking at getting them to do my RS shell.
Have sent you a PM.

Shea
