Skimmer Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 well a couple of weeks ago i get a call from a lad that works with my lad asking would i put a big tunnel in his MK2 Escort RS2000 , its a totally original one and supprisingly clean , he's goin the Cosworth / T5 route with it so i explain that at that moment i was busy work wise (im a builder)but if he could wait a few weeks i could probably do it as the weather is starting to get damp , so last night i load the van up with welder , grinders , clamps , 3ft folder etc etc and at 7ish this morning head off to Reading takes about an hour each way from here , so on getting there i measure up , cut out existing tunnel then install a new tunnel and got in at just gone 7 this evening but it was a totally different day though totally enjoyable working on an old Ford .........Im considering a job change
