hi had my escort a few months now so thought i would get a thread up of how it is comin on
its getting there slowly but none the less its getting there!
let me no what you think and if you have any ideas :dunno:

how it was when i first got it








first things first was to get it running properly! there was alot of wiring that had to be sorted!! then the brakes need all sorting new pipes master ect then re routed loads of bits round the car! then got some seats fitted






then we started cleaning! it needed alot of work dont think it had seen a wash for a long time!! to be fair still needs work now







it was nearly time for a test drive so i fitted some avo coilovers and took it out for its first drive!

jay

then i done a few miles in it made sure it was ok just keeping a eye on things even went out in the snow great fun bein 2wd

jay

now im starting to feel happy with the car i thought i would make it more how i would like it so wheel change first
thanks to my wife



thats what it went on till the new wheels arrived








thats as far as i have got at the min let me no what you think will keep it up dated

Followed the thread on the Escos forum.

Nice to see it back...i liked it on the white Revolutions but the only thing i'd change is the centre caps & put ambers with 500 grills in.

Love the deleted aero pack.

Awesome, I really want to make mines RWD!! Did you buy it already converted?

JonnyBravo

I like it without the spoiler as well.

Looks good back on the road. Needs wider rear wheels though since the arches have been stretched for them.

jay

I liked it them as well but just couldn't handle every time it moved they were dirty!

I have the grills and Amber's but not sure what to do yet?

Glad it's been saved and actually back running again, however I'd change a few wee bits.

I'd throw on ambers and 500 grills, buy another plate for it because it's not 'YUM' anymore and referring to it as that has always been a bit spastic... more so now it's not the car that people think of when 'YUM' is mentioned.

Love the car without the upper rear spoiler though, wouldn't bother fitting the carbon rear lip spoiler unless you were planning to fit quite a bit of extra carbon to tie in with it.

LOL @ the t-shirt. Your mates have good banter.


Cheers,
Grant

jay

Do it mate you will love it most of it was done but I helped the lad that owned it before me it's not hard to do have done a few now

jay

Not 100% sure on what to do with them yet? But that may be a plan

jay

I no what you mean mate first thing I looked at was a plate! h8 yum
That's why they done the jumper cos I get the hump with everyone calling it yum but it is the first thing people say when they see it

One of the lads of another forum said about the wolf spoiler but colour coded??

RS Grant

iTrader: (1)

Haha, H8 YUM would be a brilliant plate.

I'm not sure that it would look right if you colour coded the wolf spoiler, a bit stuck on maybe?? But if you left it carbon it would look good, as long as there were other bits which tied in with it.


Cheers,
Grant

jay

Will have a look in to it see what I can find

Love that with just the lower spoiler! such a good look get it on some wide Rotas be dfferent and make it your own, got big boots to fill unforntuatly! lol

Looks lovely mate, i'd leave the whale tail off, and as others have said, just fit the ambers and 500 grills!
