Bodykit was one off from a company called fibresports and took a LONG time to get to fit anywhere near right. Plus you need 13-15" wide 16" wheels to fill the rear arches
They also do a slightly narrower kit which is still wider (10" wheels) than a normal x-pack. Their number is 01268 527331.

Gary at retromotorsport can be contacted on 01279 452799 or send him a private message through turbosport

This car really is special

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Had a little play with the car today as I got home from work early and the Pipes were beavering away on the van giving it more mod cons and better decoration than my flat

This is my boot floor showing the exhaust housing in the boot for those that hadn't seen it;





Anyway I needed to make a small incision for a couple of suspension mods i have planned;



Yes that is the floor of the garage on full view now
Oh well if you're gonna modify something do it properly eh?





There is still more to cut, a fair bit more, so I'll update it with some (decent ) pics as the week goes on

Absolutely, but I do have plenty of spare paint now.
I haven't even started on the blue bits yet though

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Did a bit more cutting today
All I need to do now is remove the origional ford damper mount section (bra?) and tidy up the edges of the firewall ready to fit a neater one.

You taking the Mickey out of me calling the damper x-member a " bra " ?????

its like a bra, its got two bumps, some fastenings, is an interesting shape.... but far more interesting when its taken off.

See....a Bra

No, I just assumed that as you called it a Bra then that was the industry approved standard description

Was going to leave it for you to remove as you seem to be able to get 'them' to fall off quicker than me

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Dave, your watts thingy looks a bit loose!!

I assume you will be getting busy with aluminum sheets pretty soon then??

[david_white]

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

There will be a new watts tower/crossmember which will incorperate a tank mount and yes Tel the rest will be an ally panel
