I've said it before but will say it again, that is a perfect mk1, granted the anoraks won't like it but who cares!

That's just gergeous, I'd love an escort mk1 as my next car, you've clearly spent a lot of money on it and it looks great, how much power is it running?

Sorry bout that...... thanks for the kind comments

Shell was originally from australia,stripped down and brought over to uk for dipping.
metal work was very good but replaced sills and wings anyway.
Tubbed arches ,link boxes all the toys etc.
Shipped back to uk and e coated.
Fitted back up with a few trick bits, coilovers allround ,power steering etc
Gear box is a type 9 5 speed with 1st to 4th straight and 5th helical for comfy cruising.
Engine is a n/a yb cosworth pushing out 225 bhp.

The whole project took about 4-5 years
