Re: Ford Escort RS1800
The exhaust system complete except for the system hangers.
From this angle you can see why the Rally Prep Manual recommended the recess in the chassis pan. It allows the exhaust system to fit tight to the chassis keeping it out of harms way.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800
If you have built this kit you know how badly the tail lights fit. I have them fitting a bit better now.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800
I was determined to use the Reji photoetch grill. The issues is the headlight opening are too small. This would place the headlight lenses on top of the grill when the headlights should be recessed back into the grill. After much tedious grinding I was able to get the lenses to fight inside the opening. Compare the top grill to the bottom the see the amount of material that needs to be removed. I hop the results are worth the effort.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800
Started work on the interior. Here is the dash. Fabricated the ignition switch, the red object next to the steering column. The center panel toggle switches are flattened and shaped bits of wire. Replaced the shifter with a straight pin.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800
The gray Driver's seat on the right is modified Lancia Stratos. The middle Co-Driver's seat is modified from the kit part. The seat on the left is as comes in the kit. Both seats will eventually be painted black.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800
Work on the interior continues. The door panels in the kit are too short. I split them at the top of the door cards and added almost 1 scale inch to the height. Created and opening in the rear seat panel for the oil lines to connect to the trunk mounted oil tank.
Decided to use the steering wheel form the Reji resin kit. Modified the hand brake and the fire extinguishers.
