my mk4 escort cabriolet (ops it has a body kit)

[customcabv6]

well i know that alot of people will not like this .......
but i do and thats why i built what I wanted ish lol

if you can see throught the bodykit you may like it lol
its what we call a trick motor

the problem with me is i dont like cars that you can just go out and buy and get lost in a carpark or show lol and im obsesd with escorts

we have this one and a mk3 with a 460 big block rwd (project)and a mk2 with a 3l v6 4wd supercharged so we play a bit

so anyway be gental as we all like our own cars and prefrances
all the work done on our cars is done by us at the side of our house

[shnozz]

dat is wiked m8.

[pony]

the spelling police would have a riot

Hold your horses.

It might not be your/my cup of tea, but a lot of work has gone into that. You can hardly accuse it of just being a bolt on bodykit.

It certainly stands out from the crowd!!

Definately do not park that with the roof up - the speakers etc. will go walkies.

Nicely put!

The OP might find more acknowledgement in other web communities or in the local retail car park than on here.

At least your car reflects more affliction than a busload of cellulitis-bottomed chav-birds.

[dougc]

Good on you for risking the slateing.

Personally I think that is vile but each to their own and I admit that a load of work must have gone into that car so good on you for doing what you wanted to do.

One serious question though. You say that for the amount of money it cost you, you could have bought an M12. Why didn't you? You would have had a twin turbocharged mid-engined supercar as opposed to a yellow soft-top escort?

[customcabv6]

cool thats a old photo lol ,,,,, that was taken for a charity run i did .... done 150 miles in 3days ....

and i know i love the nobles.....

i think the problem is i just like things or cars that no one else has got ....or as some would say .. wouldnt have lol

and if i was to be honest i dont like turbos .... i have had 3 and all have died lol even a 5k engine that was blue printed spat a h beam rod and the suplier said it was my problem i was only running 275 bhp on a cvh after that totled the engine i said i would never have a turbo so thats it really

i know the cab will never handel like a noble or simler but it is fun to drive as even with it looking ott people still think its a 1.6 ott halfords special pmsl

but what makes me laff is the way it gets slated for its looks .......thay are the one at the light waiting to race and lose as all thay see is the bodykit

but i got to say i do like the site ....and lookforward to hopefully being let go to the london meets as v6 3inch pipe and one back box sounds nice in the tunels lol .....

thanks everyone

[customcabv6]

To come back to my first suggestion, I don't think PH is the best place to drool over your car and the way you use it.

Have you considered applying for discussion at www.barryboys.co.uk ? They're really a funny bunch, and quite verbose on topics like yours! You'll get some diverse opinions and probably suggestions for making your car even more unique and outstanding too. If you're the type that races from lights, you should not miss the chance and introduce yourself on there. Please post a link for us then.

i like mk4 escorts, a bit, but what you've done is made an ok looking car, look 100% chav. sure, you may have stuck a big engine in it, fitted coilovers, but you just cant forgive the way it now looks. if you had left the exterior standard and none of the loud boom boom ice, im sure it would have gone down alot better here on PH. thats not to mean people on here hate modified cars, just the whole chav image doesn't sit well here.
