      Did you make the alloy airbox? Do you have any measurement and are you running trumpets inside it too?

      Very awesome car.

        Hi thank you all for the encouragement

        The alloy air box (and some more pieces) was made by hand (not by me I have the easy task of getering the parts, plan and ovecourse pay the bills )

        The trumpets are running inside the box I don't have any measurs but it was made as big as possible diferent carb intakes and diferent engine mounts will lead to diferent dimensions...

                  Beautiful!

                  Cheers,

                  Mário Santos.

                  p.s. - eu ando de volta o meu zakspeed para ver se, dentro em breve, o tenho pintado para começar logo de imediato a montar o bicho! Logo após este projecto ainda tenho o do 1300gt que também vai ficar nice mas esse é para manter o original look. A ver vamos como corre. Cheers e um abraço do amigo Mário.

                    Fantastic looking escort, what did you use to build up the inlet ports?

                          The air box was hand made in alloy (not by me)
