Mk I Ford Escort Rebuilt - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger


Of all places, a British Ford Escort Mk I of rallying lore has turned up in Abu Dhabi for a quick restoration. Though, the quick restoration has turned into a 3 year project - it looks like things are going quite well. So far, the major upgrades are a full cage, a replacement 2,000cc Ford Duratec 4 cylinder and the deletion of leaf springs - all for good cause!



If the upgrades aren't enough for you - then hopefully the period orange will push you over the edge.
