Default My Escos........new replacement for the 3dr

Thought Id post some proper pictures of the car now I have had a chance to clean it properly. Got it mopped on saturday and spent a bit of sunday giving the rest of the car a clean

Removed the fogs, number plate surrounds and fitted some new lights to the car, just waiting on my satin carbon splitter and hockey stick set to turn up.

Do you acutally like this more then your 3door or can't you compare the 2 of them?

It does look like a really nice example

cant really compare the cars at all mate the 3dr would kick this things arse in so many ways without trying but the escort hardly has any
compromises its almost a novelty to have a car i can drive without even trying and just leave in the garage and not (be tempted to lol) mess with.

So it kind of ticks 2 boxes, id love to have both but no space and concentrating on the house at the mo didnt want the temptation to mod with the 3dr.


The escort may go the same way as the 3dr but not for a very long while, if it does it will deffo be as special as my 3dr was by the time its finished!

Thanks for all the positive comments..........i really did think i was going to give into the M power or something else so I am glad I have made the right decision now (i hope lol)

I dont want to tempt fate, hence keeping this standard but if/when something mechanical dies on this car it will be going RWD.

it has a GGR 305 conversion..................so probably 250 bhp lol

Not going to be chasing BHP on this as for it to match my 3dr woul be a tall order in the BHP/tonne and BHP@the wheels stakes until its RWD

Thanks mate I really did want to try and find one as close to standard as possible and also wanted an ST to stop me from modding it and also if/when I do it has the best base for big power.

I will probably move the 4 pots to the back and get some 6 pots for the front and that will be it for a while, maybe a spare set of 18 Monte wheels just to chop and change the look every now and again.
