Well after finally getting rid of the fiesta on saturday i came home to buy this Red Escort RS Turbo!
Its my mates old one and the engine is sweet at a nut, but it does need a rear arch and bootlid to clean it up a bit!
Anyways been looking for one for ages i can restore and strip down and re-build for concorce competitions and basically to keep me occupied through the week!
here's a few pic's of when i picked it up this morning and a few after ten min's of ownership! gonna keep this thread upto date as much a possible so stay tuned!!

mods are simple, a Magnex s/steel cat back system, K&N filter and a baileys dump valve!!
External mods are koni adjustable shocks and spring set up!
New alloys are rare as

Gonna start stripping it down to the bare shell over Xmas and get everything done right! engine is perfect and its NOT going to be modified any more than it already is!
oh and Allan by the way its not a different set of alloys on both sides............ i changed the wheels as soon as i got it back to my lock up!
