to Giro:

to Hobomassiv: I have 2 CVH engines on the garage but I hope that Zetec will be stronger and more powerfull. Throttle body in this zetec is from CVH 1,6 EFi. I think that its lighter then original and it really works

to Twins: It pleases that U like my car and mods. Look forward when It will be finished.

Tonyt1t · 12-05-2007, 12:55 AM

VERY nice ive had some crazy ideas befor but only on paper i dont have the time or money to build archs that wide

Diamonds. · 12-05-2007, 04:34 AM

cant wait to see this project finished

mariS · 12-05-2007, 10:17 AM

to Tonyt1t: It's not about the money. I spent for this car only about 3500GBP now. I think that I'll spend about 6-7000 GBP. But I'm working on this car for 2,5 years - f**kin broke CVH. And my pay-off is same as Yours pocket money. Believe me. But We have cheaper parts then You.
To Diamonds: My first project was Skoda 120 V-Tec. It was crazy car from this:

to this:

It was my university project. But it finished only on paper (PC).

mentalasanything · 12-05-2007, 01:15 PM

OMG

You sir are a nutter! Nice to see someone doing something different though!

Liking the arches too, I bet you'll get a major sense of achievement after that!

Keep it up!

Tonyt1t · 12-05-2007, 01:39 PM

i want big archs

mariS · 12-05-2007, 02:08 PM

to mentalasanything: Thanks for courtesy but I don't think that I'm a nutter. Maybe a lil bit

to Tony: Why? Your car is really nice without the arches too. And it's function. I'll have got a problems with cops with my car. Our officers R pretty stupid

Every part must be with atest and bullsh*ts. F**k off.

rigwrecker · 12-05-2007, 03:42 PM

Excellent work there mate

mariS · 12-05-2007, 06:55 PM

to rigwrecker: Sorry.. It's a long way to finish it.

to series1rscar: Thanks.

to T28 RST: Thanks too. You have 18"? Wow.. And I thought that 17" R too big. Your dog is absolutely wonderfull.

Tonyt1t · 12-05-2007, 07:10 PM

you know your design for the skoda above on the pc do you have one of how you want the escort to look? or a drawing ect? anything to show what your ainming for?

mariS · 12-05-2007, 09:06 PM

to Tony: Sorry.. I haven't any pic or drawings how the finished car will be looking. I have it only in my head but I promise that I'll try to draw some schemes for next times. I want to keep the original Escort characteristics with the other lights, with hole in front bumper for iC and special aerodynamics part under the bumper with holes to acces an air for brakes, rear bumper similar as on Skoda but whit one exhaust end and towing lug.. Doors will be opened standardly to the side. I hope that the car will be symmetrical and the bumpers will have the same bottom shape as skirts. I'll show You next time.

Tonyt1t · 13-05-2007, 03:42 PM

will be good to see a plan / idea of how u want it to look

mariS · 18-05-2007, 02:32 PM

First picture is drawn only in Corel and its used as model in Rhinoceros 3D. I dont know how works renders and next improvements. I was learning this program only half year by myself and lil bit in college. Ill create nothing today I think

Maybe Ill try to make my Mk4 project in Rhino.

mariS · 18-05-2007, 04:26 PM

to Brian and Gra: Thank You for honourable mention.

Tonyt1t · 18-05-2007, 10:36 PM

yeh try and make it in rhino mate will look cool

rigwrecker · 18-05-2007, 11:53 PM

cool

mariS · 19-05-2007, 07:36 AM

Tony: I made the Skoda model for 3 months. Not every day and only few hours a day but Ill make a real car faster then this

But Ill try it. First think I need is pictures of Esco (front, rear and side) as my Corel Skoda drawings. I never found this picture with dimensions. Maybe Ill try to use photos but it isnt good because it has distorted modality.

mariS · 05-06-2007, 07:54 PM

Next episode - side skirts. Next week it will be blended on car and maybe I will blend the both arches too. I hope that. Pics here:

mariS · 11-06-2007, 07:21 PM

Bodywork continues

I think that It will be really ugly car

749steve · 11-06-2007, 09:15 PM
