Nice project you got there....

As for your S1 project, imo its sacraligous to strip a s1.. So little of them left now, all should be preserved..

I meant to put replica, i have my eye on a mint B reg 1.3 escort that i will use as the base, thats the main reason i can bring myself to do it, your totally correct its criminal to butcher them, may be changing the engine plan and fitting a cosworth engine in and running stage 3 rear wheel drive and fitting flaired arches etc, thats if i can convince a mate to weld the tunnels in etc. :D

350bhp rwd mk3 escort would be sweeeet.. Seen a s2 running a 400bhp cossie lump through the rear wheels, believe it was a gartrac shell.. Then this happened

Seen this car before, was in fast ford a fews back, yep its a gartrac converted shell, from the pic above it doesn't seem to have the struts changed to sierra ones??? quite a few people have done this conversion now, wouldn't mind fitting a RS1700 kit onto a mk3 that would turn quite a few heads, i'll have to see what sort of time i have to do it as knowing me i'll start it then it will be this time next year and i'll still be doing it.

theres two mk3 escorts up in middlesbrough both running sierra cossie motors but it looks as standard as a mk3 escort came, it even has the original AA badge on front grill, if i can find a pic i'll post it, looks well wierd, the lad drives round in a flat cap and does ppl off the lights, its quite funny to see some ppls faces, lol

both cars look very nice, only cars i think really suit white, seen that mk3 escort before as well, proper sleeper.

Theres an rst just like your old one for sale in fast ford (rs500 rims) is it the same one?

Cheers lads for the great comments, will have some updates soon, just got to do a few things to my saxo first, off to get some wheels next week and if i get a dry day over the weekend then i'll lower it.

Seen that one mate, no it ain't the old one mine went down to dorset and is currently having the floorpan refurbished, the new owner has stripped the chassis and repainted it and he's powdercoating the arms etc and adding new fuel tank,big brakes, coil overs etc.
