Hi Finlay, car looks great, always had a soft spot for the mk1 and mk2 Escorts. I'm in the planning stages of something similar for my Nissan, and have been thinking about cutting the firewall and moving the engine back a few inches from where most people sit them in S13's. Can I ask if you got the everything over here or from the USA.

Wow Finlay, GREAT looking Escort. I watched a lot of old UK race videos when I was younger, and the little MK1 and MK2 Escorts were one of the very first cars I wished I had.
Never see any in the US though :/

Hmm. Not a fan of the Mk2's.... untill now.
So video?
What parts of the engine bay did you cut to fit that in.. i can see the firewall and radiator ...did you cut the wings to make it fit?
How heavy?
