Some of you may recall a few months back I had bought my first Escort RS Cosworth from hong kong and have since been waiting for its delivery. Well, after several weeks of waiting for customs to sort their lives out, it has finally arrived!
Here it is after a quick rinse off to get the muck off it :
After this it was lunch time, so decided to go on a little drive from here (just behind the red corsa).....
.....to here... lmao the burger van! A whole 1/10th of a mile
Afterwards it was time for a quick inspection underneath. As was expected no rot anywhere!!!! Even better though was that the undersheild was still intact and there were no creases in the floor where some careless muppet had jacked it up wrong! The paint on the Anti roll bars is still fresh!
There are one or two minor bad points though :
Both front indicators broken.
Passenger side fog lamp broken.
Small dent in passenger door and rear quarter.
Minor scuff on rear bumper and whale tail.
Drivers sun visor broken and missing.
Front splitter broken.
On the other hand, the engine and gearbox are in tip top notch condition! Having been stood for around ten years, I was expecting noisy tappets, smoke, squeeky belts.... not a hint of any of those. Starts first time every time with minimal effort from the starter motor and hums along so quietly I wondered if it was even running!
Next up is an MOT and a Uk registration. Then we can start the real work!
