my car

[Grandmasterbt]

some might call it chav cos its modified but i love it
the only spot of rust on it is the p/s rear wheel arch,
what it looked like when i brought it


Since then i have added colour coded mirrors and a honeycombe grill and changed the wheels to rs1800 resprayed in grey,

Nothing wrong with a bit of discrete modifying like that using OEM parts. It looks staggeringly clean and tidy, nice one. A mate of mine has an Escort of a similar age and its an absolute shed as he never even chucks a bucke of water over it. Really winds m up as then he moans bitterly when the poor thing breaks.

thanks for your comments,
i was surpised how clean and tidy it was when i went to look at it,
i brought it as a bit of a project so since i've owned it i've changed the starter motor and battery, it needs a new exhuast and has a slight water leak into the passenger footwell but that could be the rubber gromet as it has twisted other then that the car is great

I bought one of those brand new years back. Good car.

Looks like it needs lowering a little.

[madrob6]

Looks tidy if rather high

What engine is in it? I have a few bits from my old XR3i lying about that you might be interested in.

[Grandmasterbt]

its a 1.4 cvh efi i was surpised at how nippy it compared to my parents old mark 5b 1.4

ooo what have you got?

yea it will get lowered when i cna afford it lol

[madrob6]

I have a K&N 57i kit for a 1.8 early Zetec and a steal parcel shelf with holes for 6x9 speakers which I assume would fit fine in a mk6.

Used to have them in this

[Grandmasterbt]

been a while i know,
i've still got the car not alot has changed but oh wello,
i've just refitted my alloys after taking them off for the winter and a refurb they are now black and the front tyres are running toyo T1R's 195/50/15 just was great value and highly recommend them,
i've also brought a set of koni adjustables with a 40mm drop and adjustable dampering just gota pop to norwich to get them lol,
i will be getting my set of Fiesta RST recaros fitted soon aswell,

the car will be coming off the road in the winter for a restoration and alot more power hehe

love escorts, dad use to have a mk6 rs2000 and before that there were mk5 xr3i, 3 mk4 xr3i and a couple of deisel mk5s as well as well as a few escort vans ovcourse.

looks very clean, get the front bumper sprayed same colour as car then it will look better

[Grandmasterbt]

nah its not gettin sprayed i love the two tone effect,
i've just had to order a new front one actually as someone decided to put a hole in it

[Car Mad Craig]

hiya,
nice car you got there but if i were you i would have it lowered so its slammed over those wheels and then try and find some colour coded bumpers

[RobCrezz]

Nice, is it your first car?

Nothing chavvy about it. Only cosmetic mod I would make would be body coloured bumpers.

Easyest way to get some more performance would be to try and get a 2.0 Zetec in there I reckon - there are tons of them from escorts, mondeos, mk1 focuses etc.

[randomman]

Don't use 6X9's, they really are rubbish. Get yourself a nice set of component speakers in the rear door cards, maybe one in the passenger footwell and you're away!

[Grandmasterbt]

nah its my second car i scrapped my 1st one as it had rusted to much not worth saving it,
its going to get lowered on a set of koni adjustables soon along with turbogroove discs and green stuff pads.

its going to be getting a new engine over the winter period funds permitting, then it will be turned into a "sleeper" i will be aiming for about 200brake to start with.

cheers comments everyone
