Looks great Bill. Always preferred the English/German black outs and stripes better than the local look. I had a white one when the local RS was released and thought the Aussie one looked a bit underdone by comparison. Yours looks like it should make a great road car. What gearbox, diff, brakes etc are you running?
Cheers Peter

That question has a long answer.
Chassis Rally Pack turned into an RS2000 so RS2000 Replica with German stripes.

Quaife ATB LSD with 4.11:1 CW&P
Peugoet Callipers with Alfa Discs
Koni Rear Shocks
Capri Legs with Bilstein Inserts
Alloy Hubs with grooved slotted and drilled discs
Contrentric solid strut tops
Adjustable 4 inch springs
4 Pot willwood calipers
Fully rebuilt seirra type 9 5 speed with quickshift.
Duratec 2.3 with VCT out of 2003 Focus ZTS USA.
Cooflex radiator and heater hoses
Customised heater matrix
Hydraulic Clutch bias pedal box
All Lines are braided
Customised engine mounts, sump, oil pickup, gearbox mounts and water rail. No need to modify Escort gearbox mounts.
Alloy two core radiator
Titan Alloy bellhousing Duratec to Type 9
Customised intake manifold
Customised exhaust system 2 1/4 inch

Keep in mind the horsepower gained is from a standard Duratec 2.3 with no internal changes other than the exhaust and inlet manifold. Horsepower will go up slightly once I get the wiring for the VCT sorted.

Looking good, the RS 4 spokes have to be my favourite wheel on the escort. Top job!!
