Good mate i will keep a eye out for it i would love my 16i turbo'd but cant be arsed doing it or getting all the bits together to do it
Lol I know the feeling all too well I'm kinda stuck with this car as the missus wanted to use it at our wedding which we did so it will gradually get better over time! Might even eventually chop out the floorpan and go the yb route but for now the efi engine will do just gutted the summers over! Got a 2.8 mk3 Capri to restore which is gonna get a turbo technics kit fitted! Too many projects and not enough time lol
love it mate.. i always wanted a white one but ended up with a red one lol.. suits the amber perfect.!
Cheers mate! Do you still have it? I used to have a minted red f plate one back in 2004! Had a black one resprayed in cadburys purple which was a binner lol oh and a pink one with White comps
Hopefully start stripping the underside of this soon and get cracking with powdercoating and more painting underneath ready for next years brilliant weather lol! gonna have to whip out the engine at some point as well to get it painted!
Makes me miss my boosted shabby all the more seeing yours, and the nice soft feel of a Mohair hood..
Nothing beats 130+ with the Hood down, they also clean there own cockpits too at that speed, my rizla's always used to dissapear after a spirited drive, and i never hoovered mine once in the 6mths(while it worked)that i had it
Either way leave the Tango's alone, they work so well against the white
It a Manual or Leccie roof boss??
And keep the updates flowing, rs cabs deserve so much more credit than they get imop, and yours is just right an example.

Cheers for the comment mate! I dont get much speed out of this even though im not a speed demon but i love the feel of driving an escort turbo and feeling the boost when they aint broken down lol. Come to think of it ive only ever hoovered mine once and that was when i originally had the plan to sell it on before i made the subtle changes and decided to keep it! Yeah white with amber is a must and im just not a fan of the clear indicators tbh! it works on some cars but not on others! mercury grey must have ambers imho but maybe im just being buyist? lol. yeah its an electric roof on this one and works great for just now cant wait to turbo her and get driving in the summer! The car will no doubt change slightly over the years but only for the better!! cheers
jst needs tax and test, but bin out of work for like 8 months.. so not touched it.. start work on sunday so she will be back on the road then i can finish my feza turbo off lol
Nice cabby mate. I loved mine in the summer months. It was up for sale before i bought the 3i turbo. I was so tempted to buy it back.
Cheers man! They are quality in the summer and even the early part of winter when its sunny and you just stick on a wolly hat and jacket lol, the missus loves it and the kids love it also! Im a big kid really and i love it most

Bummer mate but at least your back to work! cars are just a novelty! Any pics of the fiesta and the cabby?
The wheels have grown on me tbh.. Weren't sure if the gold would work, but I've spent so long jst lookin at on the drive I like um ahaa its also got a un-modified 90spec bumper on it now

they are reali good fun.. i planed on EFI'in mine but wen i spanked my s2, that was the cheaper and easyer choice
Mines is the efi n/a cvh so its just a case of swapping everything over from a frst and plug in the ofac ecu so ive been told! il need to start collecting the parts and have a bash at building the engine myself before i fit it! should take me all of next year to collect and build the engine then take it off the road winter next year and actually do the work! im planning on an underside resto with everything new and powdercoated with new suspension etc and when the engine is out my brother is going to paint the engine bay so its mint and fit the efi frst engine! Im hoping to get to a very high standard and see about a feature at some point
Taxed the escort and been giving her a good clean! bought some meguiars polish and wax so ive been busy polishing all wkd lol i also bought an rs 3 spoke steering wheel which is now fitted! hope you's like!
you still got this car? this is what inspires me to crack on with my cabby, i am wanting the outside to look pretty much the same(although i keep toying with the idea to go red instead). Getting hold of the wheels is going to be a hard part, may see what 15s look like under the arches
Really nice cabby, mates dad had a blue mk4 before I could drive that we uses to take out round the back roads when his dad was away offshore , always wanted one but never did , randomly tho , I was working with your mate Dave Dryden in Malta a few weeks ago , top lad

Cheers pal i asked my brother to paint them silver and he came back with this colour which i wasnt to keen on at first but they didnt take long to grow on me when i fitted them lol.
