Here's the progress so far after the first day, hope to have this finished in a couple of days from now.

ps: Here is a fantastic video of the Mk1 Rs2000 driving around the Eifel close to the Nuerburgring.


When the Escort was launched, Ford prepared a rallying version, which was later marketed as the Escort Mexico, commemorating the car’s victory in the London to Mexico Rally of 1970.


Ford felt there was a market for a car with more power and refinement than the Mexico, but without the higher production and ownership costs associated with the more complex RS1600.


Ford believed that such a model would appeal to a wider customer audience than the existing ‘sporting’ Escorts, and would offer RS motoring at an affordable price.

Cool stuff Jimmy.  Looking forward to seeing the progress.

It's funny how the same name Ford Escort looks nothing like that here.  Looks like a fun drive.
