A little progress, the engine complete adding fine tubing as plug leads and 'bluing' the exhaust manifold to show heat from engine. Also added engine to floorpan and small interior items, seats, seatbelt decals (used my own as kit ones are black and wouldn't be seen ) plus handbrake, gear stick fire extinguishers and pedals. Instructions suggest these are to be fitted after the rollcage which is the wrong way round.   |

Here's today's work.... rollcage fitted, then shave a bit off each side of the dash, so it slides in between the door cards........  Test fit into bodyshell...................  |

Lookin' sharp! I like the "resurrected" livery better than the box. Good choice.

Thanks guys, yes I'm pleased with the British Airways decals. As a race and rally marshall for over 25 years I'd seen this car on the British RAC rally round of the World Rally Championship in the forest stages in the day so really had to use these decals!

I fitted the steering and wheels/tyres, plus test fitting the body. This shows how low the Tarmac Spec suspension is with slick tyres as well.  Although the box art shows rear mudflaps they are not in the kit, so I may make and fit them |

Cool project, these Escorts are still very popular rally cars around here, but these kits are being built pretty rarely. Looks like you're doing a nice work with it so far. The paint and decal work looks especially nice. Keep it up, I'm sure this will look excellent when it's finished.
