back to basics......bonus sleeper coilovers and backbox fitted

jonny s2 · 06-02-2010, 04:56 PM

well here goes,my daily driver had blown the headgasket on the way to work wedensday so needed a car pretty quick,i had been looking for another escort bonus anyway and just at the right time this turns up,picked it up last night off Gav(stembo)nice one matey good to see you

a little rough and tatty around the edges but seems to be solid as a rock

even the standard radio works bang on.the plan was to be daily driver with a difference and 240hp rst mechanicals
heres some pics which gav had taken previously,i will get mine up shortly

got a few tricks up my sleeve with this one if all goes to plan

jonny s2 · 06-02-2010, 08:44 PM

i have a freshly built low comp cvh which has ARP bolts etc...fully lightened and ballanced by NMS then built up by ourselves, got a vernier and a cam, a t3 and mongoose with a 4" pipe

jonny s2 · 07-02-2010, 11:47 AM

just a few pics now its back home, mint battery tray and fuse box

as you can see very clean for what it is! note its not rust boot just needs a good clean lol

tatty looking bonus interior give the rat look

so first off needs a good old clean up

martin24uk · 07-02-2010, 11:54 AM

jonny s2 · 24-02-2010, 05:19 PM

if theres enough done on the grey s2 by the weekend i may fit the 6 point cage from the moonstone s2 into this for a laugh

danny_boy699 · 24-02-2010, 06:03 PM

looks nice mate, was watching 1 of these on ebay the other day, but got told i wasn't allowed it

jonny s2 · 11-04-2010, 01:56 PM

not much been done as yet as all the focus has been on my grey s2, but my dad wanted to borrow the car and gave it a little modification of his own

broke my indicator and cracked the bumper

you cant see all the damage as i looked in the parts bin and fitted a new repeter and put some sealer to hold the bumper together for now

luck for me theres no panel damage

also the carb got replaced yesterday as i nicked it from my other bonus

painted the back arms ripple effect and fitted pollybushes

and got another 1.6cvh rst lump from a mate

and some cheeky pics while it was sunny

comedy boot spoiler,not sure i should leave it on cause it looks too sporty LOL

im still using this as a daily smoker and covers upto 600 miles a week sometimes,so when i get my logbook back and another car to smoke about in,this will ave it

jonny s2 · 29-04-2010, 10:37 AM

brake pads worn down and discs needed replacing so thought id fit some xr2 calipers and vented discs to go under the 13" steels to retain the sleeper look

oops

someone previously done the brakes and fitted self tappers it was like they were welded in cause would they fook come out

so out came the drill

xr2 vented discs and calipers

perfect for fitting behind 13"steels

fitted

standard bonus discs

vented

sleeper look

oh and look what i found in the parts bin

due a refurb soon but will do for now

seats could do with a serious clean

but im loving the comedy look it will have soon

madfordjan · 29-04-2010, 04:40 PM

i really want one for first car

jonny s2 · 02-05-2010, 09:06 AM

front coilovers fitted

you can see the difference to front and back

i quite like this pic, not even on lowest setting

fitted a new back box,the exhaust note is very raspy

and will add this for some character, its all in the little details

will put it somewere like this once i get long enough bolts

future parts to add will be rear coilovers and full polly bushes, bigger brakes front and rear, wheels then the most important part the engine and management

hope you like so far

pjv7771 · 02-05-2010, 09:16 AM
