UPDATE
The Bonnet has had the Impreza scoop mounted but it was not feasible to fit the Impreza vents
As the IMTEC kit is designed for different running gear. Considerable modification has had to have been done to the rear quarter panel and arches so as to fit correctly.
The rear spat also needs some shaved off of it as the Puma running gear will knock against it.
A wee shot over the bonnet of an Escort RS Cosworth
And as it currently stands it is near ready for painting
With this now, A few things will also need to be revised.
The width of the rear running gear will need to be widened
A new Vinyl Design its going to be hashed up but more of a Motorsport theme rather than a design per-say.
And most definitely it will be needing larger front brakes, swaying towards Focus RS brakes.

Yeah, I've never actually even seen one in person, there were only 8 of them, out of the 8 I don't know how many still exist.
Very nice indeed! How much are you going to (have to) widen the front and rear track? Will you go for line with the outer edges, or something less?

Well the Rear is currently at the width of an FRP, but clearly still not wide enough. The front has been widened but I will fit the FRP wishbones and some HD driveshafts and widen the front.
There will be a wheel change and I will be fitting 18" x 8J Focus RS Mk1 wheels so that too will add a little width to it. But its going to be roughly the width of the arches.

It look fantastic with that fresh paint. IMO all it needs to finish it off is a wider intercooler to fill that mouth.
None the less, very nice!

Yeah theres still plenty of mechanical work to be done, to rectify the mistakes made when doing the turbo conversion, updating parts and one of those will be a bigger intercooler.

It will look the nuts then, plus with the turbo power it will have the punch to back up the looks.
Makes me want to get cracking with a turbo even more!

Well funny you say that. The RS wheels will be for road use. For track it will be back down to 17s and most likely my 17" white speedlines. However, I was considering that exact set of wheels.
Why do you say not RS wheels?

Personally really dislike them
It just so happens we have three sets of them speedlines sitting collecting dust at work but there too big for my engine but your turbo lump would be sweet on them

Really, sets of 4 or 5? What would you sell a set for? Are they 18 x 8j?
