Re: mk3 escort update 20/5/09 sun strip and k&n
have now relocated the battery to the spare wheel well as i knew theres was some rust under it
so the tray was removed what a pain in the arse that was
theres is some rust which will get repaired and painted
some of the holes were my fault as i was trying to remove the tray
have put a cover overthe holes for now untill it gets welded
removed the gold stripes down the sides aswell and looks much better

Yeah, that's the beauty of them. They're ideal for FWD applications because of their size!
Supercharged CVH on bike carbs would be a little bit off-the-wall!
