lincolncity Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi all, bought this last week. I already have a Capri on the go so the Escort will be a next summer Job. It needs the body doing and a new roof but it's mainly all there. Originally from Guildford built March '89 it was Registered in December'89 its SE spec and recently has spent its time in South Yorkshire. Bought it from ebay. So far I have cleaned it up, put the correct headrests back in it, got a few missing bits on bobs. I have de personalised it and fitted it out with the correct badges and dealer plates etc. Looking much better now. I think it looks better now DiscoDan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70's lad Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Nice, out of interest did the SE spec come with the RS 1600i engine or was that a mod in this car too? From my rusty Ford knowledge I think you have at least the 1600i engine rocker cover (that is interchangeable) although from pictures not sure if you have the complete engine; certainly the 1600i had twin coil packs and so maybe it's just the 1600i rocker cover you have...thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motorsport cam cover has just been retro fitted. I quite like them but I am a standard guru so it will have to go. You are right it is a RSi one. I used to own an RSi, the only car I wished I had never sold. It is still around but has been reshelled and messed around with as it was written off not long after I sold it. It was in amazing condition. I will dig out some pics. Only sold it as lost use of the garage. As soon as I sold it I got 200yrds down the road turned around to get it back then turned around again and thought sod it, I actually traded it for a Rover GTi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
