    mk1 escort rear scuttle vents

    Hi there,

    Starting to plan a fast road zetec conversion on a mk1 escort i have my eye on, needs alot of welding which is fine with me.

    My question is, what is the purpose of the vents in the rear scuttle panel and what would be the implications of cutting them out and putting flat sheet metal in place of them?

    I might be wrong here, so if anyone knows differently then by all means say so. But I think they would be to vent to the standard fuel tank as I don't think it vents directly to the outside of the car through the wheel well. I think the standard tank has a vent pipe that runs along it.

    But that's only my assumption. I
