White Arched MK2

I thought it was about time I posted the build of one of my other projects ....
My black MK1 was built as a weekend toy so I decided I needed a weekly cruiser - a MK2 Escort with alloy tarmac arches, front and rear spoilers, engine is a 2ltr 38 - 45 big valve head, twin webbers, etc.
The rest of the car has been built with road use in mind hence the mild spec.
The car started life as a excellent example, little to no rust, straight and hadn't been hacked by a previous owner to badly!
I am in the process of final assembly as I need to make room for other projects .... Hence this car will be up for sale shortly.
Here are some photos of the shell I started with and the parts I am fitting to it .
Will post more photos in the coming days.

Umm the valve sizes are the simplest give away. Standard Pinto were 36mm exhaust and 42mm inlet. Steve's inlets are bigger than group 1 option!
