10 point to the first person that can spot the fucked oil pipe. lol



Did a bit of tidying/respraying on one of the inner wings last night and to be fair its looking a lot better already. Going to work my way across the engine.

Covers are an idea and some of the wiring would benifit from it.

Re-routing the wiring in the inner wing is something I've thought of before but as you say its a lot of work.

No wheels yet.

And yes Dave, she would kill you.

RE: *Member* Clare's Big Ford Escort Cabriolet

Been doing the engine bay for the last couple of weeks and I recon its looking better.

This is what we started with, not too bad but no different to any other RS Turbo


This is what I did. Moved as much of the wiring loom off the iner wings as I could including the coil. Painted the dirty looking head tank, fuse cover etc and the really rusty servo black. Removerd the heater housing, painted rocker cover and strut brace silver. And a tonne load of cleaning.


Clare was sure if the black and silver looked right so back to the garage and painted everything back to Orange. lol. Looks loads fresher and cleaner.


To be fair it needs a load more work to be 100% but its LOADS better than it was.
