Seriously cannot wait to see this car finished! I'm an old skool Essex boy, so we grew up driving fast fords and ironically we all drive German cars now !

That car looks bloody brilliant. The shape looks great, very well proportioned. Reminds me of the RS1700T that had the BDT engine in it. edit - wrote this just before I heard it was shortened - top job, really does look right.

Nice RS /Golf R build. The build kit is a RS 1700T not 1600 as they never made them. RS 1700T was a project ford did but then built the RS200 for rallying.

Now thats what you call a car 🤩🤩
Some serious engineering talent there lads

Really interesting build. I owned a S1 Escort RS turbo back in the day. Worst car I’ve ever owned, but I just loved the look of the thing. Now I daily a Golf R. Would love to see this weapon completed.

Eagle eyed Ford fan here, its a 1700t not 1600t . lovely looking car

What was once an amazing car and a true classic is then taken away. However, I had one of those and it did brake down a lot unlike the cars today very slow too lol.

I’m all up for this new style of build, classic lines with classic looks but killer underneath. It’s like stealth but on hidden steroids.

I love this concept. This has been done in the USA for years, about time here in the UK we start to catch on. I’m all in for this ❤.

BMW E30 with a BMW M3 F10 engine and all the insides ❤️.

Would like to see that finished. Love it👍🏻

The RS Turbo wasn't a thing until 1985 so that's a bit misleading.

[The-truth-is-valuable.]

My idea of fun - helps that I always liked both cars - Escort and Golf.

[spacedust]

What a motor that is top quality I love it. The body kit looks amazing 👏 I used to have a S2 but the S1s are alot nicer

[scottjones]

I love this build I've always loved these escorts so can't wait to see it finished 😁

[benmxrfin]

Can we see the finish build please of this Ford 😍

[billywilliams]

Lovely Little Harrison M250 in your Workshop 💖

[derryjones]

I love crazy builds best thing about cars subbed👍

[markforza]

Seems like the perfect, B-road blaster for a late night/early morning stress relief on some deserted back roads, that are exactly what we have in SW Scotland, if Ur ever in the area there's some hidden gems around Stranraer & outlying villages, try Stranraer to Portpatrick to whet the appetite, then Portpatrick to Sandhead, Portlogan, Drummore, these r the type of roads where you really learn to drive on, without cameras, street lights, traffic etc, but plenty of Farm animals & Tractors just to keep U on Ur toes.

Love this, what a beast. I had a white Mrk 4 xr3 when I was 19 and this brought back memories… but I’m curious, how was the car “MOT’d” without a windscreen 🤔😂

[claudineydias]

Wouldn't it be much easier to look at what Ford itself did in Brazil and officially put the same engine and transmission from the golf MK3-GTi to work in the Escort Mk4-XR3 after 1989?.... the adaptation is extremely easy and it already has even using modern engines or gearboxes with 6 gears

[eddydar]

Rs era was the best....dot think we'll ever see it again.
