You are so right ther dave my last jig. Before I gave it up was a car o liner nice bit of kit think the lad who bought it off me still has it , just looked on eBay they still fetch good money aswel
Before measuring systems that's how it was done, searching threw some paperwork the other week came across some data sheets for cars I had repaired my escort rs was the last one I didI remember proving a body shop owner wrong with the car on his jig and measuring system with a simple "calibrated" tape measure... Had a good laugh at that one, long story, but it's a good one some time.

This was the last rst 1990 h plateI had it had a 1.9 st2 engine from specialised engines grays essex 237bhp at the wheels and 264lbs of torque .I often wish I could pick up an old one and fettle it back to top notch (series 1 escort RS turbo) but there are none about. I had the series 2 and it was built from Spanish steel and rotted out something terrible, even the roof started to go. Loved my Sapphire 4x4 Cosworth, but barely drove it as I never wanted to get it dirty. Ahh the good old days.
Just did a google search for series 1, found one being sold for £27k!!!! Obviously a grand for every year old that it is.I had 3 series 1s , 4 series 2s , a rs1600i , 1 4x4 saphire and 2 escort cosworth oh and a fiesta rs turbo prices have gone threw the roof German steel was the best for fords

Cvh engine lovely and with a Kent or piper cam , stainless exhaust , induction or panel filter and a 195 chip would see 200 bhp easy that was a lot years ago, Diesel engines have this now and more standard.Fun, but simple.
Be nice to see itGonna have to find the pictures of mine now. Not sure where they are.
That's a hell of a spec there andythom188. Mines running 220bhp and that's enough. It would keep with my cossy.View attachment 4639
