Default Escos replica...130ps 3i based.

Here you go Marky-boy...some pics of my missuses replica.

It's based on a mk5 3i. Got a fibre glass kit, few gen body parts also, cossie dash, RS2000 interior (couldnt justify spending the money on gen stuff when its just for the missus to use to go work and the shops in lol). Cossie rims, opening rear windows etc. Currently still prepping it for paint, will be done in diamond white as its the cheapest of colours and hides imperfections easier so less work for me Since replaced the tailgate as it was in a bit of a state....well annoying that was as well.....always loads of mk5 escort hatches in Looms scrap yard until I need one...give up and buy one off ebay then 3 mk5 turn up at Looms in one week I'd like to fit a centre consol but im still unsure if it will line up correctly to the dash with the absence of a tranny tunnel??







Ive got some more pics somewhere if anyone is interested? Ive not mentioned it much in the past as its only a rep, but hey, im not fussed...it aint mine Ive sort of lost interest lately but will get back on it once I can get it back in the garage again. Being a 3i its spot on for the missus, not very powerfull and I wont be fussed about leaving it parked up as I would a gen cossie. tbh I'll probably enjoy driving it myself more than my cossie as I wont be constantly worried about retards crashing into a rep

ahhh I remember you now....your the nasty big bruv who crashed his little bro's car? Is it all sorted again now then? Does look well in that pic. Im not going to put much money into this car for the missus as its only going to be her daily run around.....it'll still get looks though, even if she will have cossiecrew following her down the road shouting 'REP!' at her everywhere she goes

pm will be sent shortly mate, cheers

£4,500? I should hope it looked more than just tidy...should have everything oe ford and be absolutly spot on to bump the value of a 15yr old 3i up to half tidy series2 money imo.
