MK2 Escort LS1 in orange!
Discussion
I am just fitting up the body panels and bits of trim. Doors a nightmare to line up when you are trying not to chip the paint! Just waiting for plastic windows to be delivered then off for MOT but no rush as will not be road testing until the salt is off the roads - how about you Finlay?
The car had been a rally car for many years before it came into my hands about 5 years ago. I bought it from a chap who had had the shell for a full group 4 rebuild at Northwest RS Centre (there is a picture of it on their site). Their work included, tubing, weld-in Safety devices cage, new floors, new boot floor, new chassis rails, new 4 link boxes etc etc.
I choose the shell for the LS project as it had had a large tunnel from its very early days as a rally car so it suited me down to the ground.
I have since added extra door bars and extra rear diag. The full fitment of the engine has not impacted on the original spec of the car - hence it can be returned back to full group 4 spec at anytime.
