We all have our favourite fast Ford Escorts, be it a Mexico or an RS2000, an RS Turbo or a Cossie. Hard to forget the XR3i, too, back when hot hatches were kings of the road. But the keen will also remember that before the fuel-injected car there was a carb-fed performance Escort, the XR3. It was a popular little pocket rocket, selling more than 11,000 in its first year, only to eventually fall by the wayside as so many cool classics now have. But not this one.
By the sounds of it, stripping Escort back to the bare metal, improving fit and finish, then respraying in the original Sunburst Red was probably the easy bit. Where things became tricky was sourcing the right parts to make this a faithful restoration. When improving and upgrading in the restomod style, new items can be made if required to achieve what’s desired - it doesn’t have to be original.
