1979 Ford Escort RS 1800:

This Ford started life as a rusted-out 1600 Sport. Over eight years Colin built it to be a modern version of a historic Ford Escort RS1800. Owning an engineering business, Colin made and machined about 90% of the parts in the car. Instead of the classic BDG engine it has a Honda S2000 motor and 6-speed gearbox, unmodified other than dry-sumping, it puts out about 250hp.
