Escort RS Cosworth
Discussion
If its anything like my old standard escort which is now a 2 ft cubed square, I would say, chassis rails, wheel arches, sills, floors, inner wings. You might think that an escort cossie would be more cosseted, but this could shout its downfall as well, as cherishing owners may wash it more ofter,leaving water trapped in places and start rotting out places as well.
even the best examples have been known to have rot on them....
Places to look as follows
petrol tank filler neck area around the cap area on the rear quarter the small turbo has a filler flap to remove the issue so is particularly prone to big Turbo models
Look at rear arches
in the boot especially on the extension panels on the floor these are deleted now and originals no longer available
sills under skirt kit
front extension panels to the inner wing these are deleted now and originals no longer available
Boot lid under lower rear spoiler as water lays under it
also in the sunroof area if the drainage channels are blocked this is a rare one
