Great job, looks awesome!

Unfortunately the gearbox broke a couple of weeks ago and we have not been able to source parts locally to get it fixed in time for this weekends Small Ford Sunday. The new interior isn't ready either so the car won't be at the show.

I'll still be there with all the others from NSW though.

It's been a while since the last update. New interior is about to be installed. Finished making up some side panels so that the roof lining can be installed, then the seats will go in. Decided on something completely different from your usual black or beige leather interior.
 

 
 

Updates! Sweet, is it up & running with a new gearbox?

i love this car...
 
its almost more sigma turbo than escort....
 
 

Yes, car is up and running with a newly rebuilt gearbox. It was given a tune a couple of months ago, made just under 110 rwhp at around 10lb boost. The clutch was slipping so we didn't really push it.

Funny you should mention that, I use to own one many years ago which I was planning to restore, but the shell was too rusty. I kept all the parts for a rainy day though.   

Thats a very smick little car. Love the new interior colous and the consol. Good job.

This thing gives me a happy.
It's just so clean, tidy, straight and tasteful!
That turbo setup looks wicked!

 
Started to put in the new interior in over the weekend

 

 
 

Looks so clean Theo. I'm really interested in this turbo set up and would like to know where you found the plenum that goes in between the Carb and Turbo? If I was to try to google one or search for one on ebay, what would it be called?
