The more I think about the build thread, the more little details I remember. Truly awesome car, I don't think words can describe the level of detail in it, you could go on for ages and not run out of things to pick out.

Is the owner a relation of jade goody? So much money thrown at it. All these 'amazing details' you are mentioning all seem pointless...

Looking at it from that perspective I suppose fair enough, not my sort of car though. Doesnt really serve a purpose apart from looking good, but imo a mk3 escort is never going to look THAT good.

It's not pointless as a show car, the level of detail is mindblowing, it's also quick and well set up, so it will handle too.
Not everything is about function, some people do like form, especially in the Ford scene. Dave's car is probably one of the best loved RSTs in the UK

Is there a run down of all the mods I should be looking at? I can only really remember the handles from a previous thread.

Escorts get boring after mk2 to be honest. Exception is RS1600i which thinking about it is actually a very good looking escort.
