Mik3ymk Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Not to sure on colour tbh Andy it is a silvery blue lol , and Scotty bo it's getting stripped the rust sorted and whole underneath cleaned up and undersealed/wax oil. Then service new brakes etc and going to have full cosworth kit fitted and then used on track and rally's as a cheap runabout / track toy as just selling my drift car an putting that money into house so gonna be a slow budget build for the time being and only picked an escort because I built a cosworth replica before with rs2000 engine and I loved it and miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 if its a track toy, isnt a bodykit kind of counter productive....theyre quite heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 If you want to track it just strip it, some lightweight wheels like oz or similar and up the power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
