Cars

We conceive each of our Escorts as a true racing car, with no allowance to nostalgia, and as a genuine piece of motorsport history too.

The building process starts selecting a donor Escort mk1 or mk2 car in prime condition. After sandblast the bodyshell, starts a meticulous process of restoration, lightening, seam welding and strenghtening following FIA regulations. To follow is fitting of a Safety Devices rollcage, as well as the distintive wheelarches. After around 350 man labour hours the bodyshell is ready for painting.

The following weeks are spent fitting the Bilstein struts and dampers, AP Racing brakes, hydraulic lines of WRC spec, a new wiring loom and all the interior components. Finally, we install the OHC “Pinto” or BDG engine, the “Rocket” or ZF gearbox and the Atlas rear axle, which were built by our second team.

The two last weeks are dedicated to final details, vehicle registering, setting-up and road test.

Our work ends with a brief meeting with our customer, when we explain him the best way to drive, adjust and maintain his new Ford Escort.
