Brief description. .

Series 1 Escort RS Turbo Custom on a '86 C reg. (19 yrs old !! :-$ )

Pretty much standard - Turbo systems unlimited boost chip, -31 Actuator, scorpion exhaust (soon to be changed for a mongoose) modified airbox and a little more boost (12psi) <_< Koni adjustable suspension with unknown lowered springs, some chrome engine detailing (charge pipe, fuel filter cover and bracket, throtle cable bracket, strut tops, Distributor sleeve) lots of security :diablo: oh and a colins boost guage #-o soon to be changed for autometer C2 (boost, oil press and oil temp)

Loads of new parts which i wont go into, oh what the hell. .

NEW:
full respray in ford diamond white
tie bars
battery
radiator
starter
starter wiring
petrol tank
tank-fuel pump hose
graphic kit
clio rear wiper
engine earth straps
air/oil filters
Y piece for coolant
wheel bearings one yet to be fitted (dont need it tho)
turbo oil return gasket
Exhaust manifold gasket
plugs
breather
alternator belt
weather strips @ bottom of window
timming belt 92,000ish
water pump

Im SURE it's had more but :unknw:

ok, here are some pics. the car isnt perfect but it is one of the nicer S1's around, had next to zero welding baring 2 minor repairs on either rear chassis leg! not bad for its age B)

Cars going to be undergoing a small underside restoration, hoping to powder coat suspension and refit with poly bushes, and every nut bolt and washer from ford i can get my hands on! and ofcourse paint it a nice shade of white underneath (bufty :lol:

)

hope you like, but its not essential

New paint, going back together:

Almost back together

All back together, down at AVA in Glasgow for a set up :dance2:

Hmmm, 17's or not?

All done and on the road at its first pasionford meet ^_^

front pass side arch lets it down being cracked, it was too low on the RR :furious:

Nothing special at all!

Oh and its got samco boost hoses

Comments/structural criticism welcome'd !

Thanks for the comments, I think it reminds you that it isnt just any old escort :mrgreen:

Its a nice car, but it does have a few rust spots coming through, 2 of which being on either side of the roof where their is a sill for the water to run along,right underneath that, where the top of the door meets the B pillar

and passenger side at the bottom of the window/scuttle panel, i dont know if the first 2 bits at the B pillar can be fixed? as it's structural afaik?
