1993 Ford Escort Cosworth Pre-Show Detail...

As per my Ferrari pictures I managed to get Stu's car in pre Ford Fair to get it tidied up.

Anytime I had seen the car in the flesh or in pictures it looked immense so I was apprenhensive about detailing it for him, none the less i've seen some stunning cars transformed by a decent detail.

It was also a chance to work on a car that evokes so much, they never fails to make me laugh after detailing a few of them, this one with the wheels added something even more nostalgic to the car.

One step polish, paint is thin in places after it's previous restoration, cleansed with Werkstat prime, followed by 3 coats of CarPro Reload again as it was traveling I didn't want anything sticking to the car or too much beading going on. The rest finished as usual!

Apologies that it's mostly afters....

Again I must apologise for the pictures, they're usually much much better and I think Stu would agree that in the flesh it looked so well. It rained so hard when he headed back to pick it up but as it left it looked at home, i'm usually a fan of garaging cars like this but it looked awesome leaving in the rain on those rally spec wheels.

So pleased I got a chance to get it looking it's best for the show.

Thanks for looking folks, any questions, queries or critique, i'm all ears!

Amazing car. I couldn't care if it was swirling heaven, it'd still look ace, but the refction and shine of those pics are just awesome.

No criticism here, all positive :up:

  lots of clios.
Very nice!!

What was the reason for the big meet?

Escort cosworth owners club managed to arrange it at the cosworth factory to get as many escos's together as possible. Was a great turn out. There was ment to be more but quite a few never showed up due to various reasons [emoji23]
 
Absolutely fantastic!!! I love it!!

I get they're dealer plates etc, but I reckon a set of plain plates would make it look even better.

Would love one of these, prices just getting silly now from what I could see (as with everything interesting at the moment! :( ).
So nice.

Cheers for the comments guys! Gallys work has really made it awesome [emoji1] think i bought it just in time before prices got silly. Dealer plates are a perfect touch, got the window sticker at fordfair too [emoji16]

The guy on ebay who sells those silly spoilers must be rolling in it…..!

Car looks great, wish I could own one for a bit but out of my price range now :(

I vaguely remember when these were anywhere between 12-15k maybe, not that long ago :(

Everything I'm interested in that I couldn't afford at the time seems to be going up in price, so annoying!

So nice.
Hence why I'm holding on to my three cars as long as I can.
Low mile 172, one owner fiat 20VT and a mini Works GP.

Every time I look on AT they're going for more money!

I just wish I jumped on the Cosworth wagon sooner. I remember when £10k got you a concours EsCos. Looking at £20k plus now without even trying!

My mate got offered £100,000 for his RS500 sierra and he turned it down. Fast 80/90's Fords are utterly obscene money now.

Yeah just been looking round at rs turbos and Saphs, need something to sit in the garage :smile:

I'd still like that Fiat, I even have a paint guy ;)

Great work, that looks mint.

Old fast Fords are sex.

I saw what I think was an Sierra RS500 yesterday, also in red - a rare sighting!
Rare indeed as I don't think they ever made a Red one. Lot of reps around to be fair.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I prefer Pacifica too. Imperial seems a bit too common. Not disputing the actual colitis of it as it is lovely bit I prefer the darker blue on the ERSC.
