Default my mk3 xr3i.. couple of new pics and a new heart on its way :)

Here is my mk3 escort xr3i, 1983 with genuine 50k on the clock with fsh and all old mots, i've owned for a while now and done a few choice mods, namely the rims as i couldnt bare the clover leafs any longer!!















i still have all the original parts i took off just incase i have a change of heart........

I was about to give you a torrent of abuse for dissing the legands that are Cloverleafs..... but then I saw what you replaced them with...... AWESOME!

Give us a full run down on the rim and tyre dimensions

PS, where you from?

thanks chaps,
wheels are 7 1/2 x 16s with 195/45 yokohama s drive tyres, catches a bit at the back but some arch rolling and some camber should do the trick.
i'm from kelty, 5 mins up the m90 from dunfermline.

Very nice Escort !!

Especially the combination White and those rims.



And I agree with Bigmatt-s2rst: " Looks very nice, makes me want a mk3!! "

That's why I bought one recently.

Way to go mate !!

That looks really nice and clean....

Its amazing how the wheels have totally transformed the look of the car....

I think a nice subtle stainless exhaust would finish that off with a few shiny engine bay bits and bobs....
