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

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

jonny s2

iTrader: (12)

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

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

i really want one for first car

jonny s2

iTrader: (12)

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

RickyLee53

I'd remove backbox and higher it a little.

jonny s2

iTrader: (12)

thanks for the input backbox is just temp because my standard box was naff

dont worry pal its not stopping like this long its just a quick fix untill the transplant gets sorted, got a mongoose stainless system, and think il be tearing it round a track anyway to take the piss cheers folks

xrmalin

I managed to get cossie 4 pots inside the steelies on my estate
