New Ghia conversation bolts arrived.



And all fitted, just need to sort the tyre pressures as there well over inflated.

That looks soooo much better with those alloys, and keeps the genuine ford accessories theme going. It'll be mudflaps next?

So with the bigger alloys does that mean we'll be seeing a bigger brake upgrade? RS turbo S2 or RS2000 260mm items? Nice cheap upgrade too.

JC600

Cheers mate.

I love them, wanted a set since I brought the car.......my mates got a full set of Ford mud flaps....just need to go and get them.

It's already got S2 Rs turbo front brakes fitted.

Fordmad!

Tidy little car this. Love a basic mk4. Thought the gti wheels suited it best but still looks clean

JC600

Cheers mate, I liked those wheels but are 16" and not very nice to drive on.

RSmark84

Go get them! they look spot on with flaps fitted. In case he doesn't have the clamps to fit them, Ford still sell them. 3 clamps per flap!

Good you have done the brakes, I'm not a fan of dwarfed discs behind alloys.

Will you be considering ambers all round at some point?

JC600

Haha....picking them up next week at some point. Good to know about the clamps, cheers.

Brakes were already fitted, no I don't like little brakes either.

Got amber side repeaters, just waiting for the indicators coming up at a sensible price. As I want genuine ones.

JC600

Got some pics today.

One of the things that has bugged me since I got the Escort is that I had window switches and winders. Because of the Rs turbo door cards, also the handles were very tatty.

Before



Wet and dried, cleaned, prepped and sprayed with interior dye.



Blanks made, ready to bond in when paint has hardened.*

JC600

Door handles re-fitted.

jc2000e

nice looking car mate, looks much better on the 7 spokes than last wheels.

JC600

Cheers mate, will do.

Cheers mate, I'm loving the 7 spokes.....suit the car so well.

JC600

Nice little drive out in the Escort, breakfast then shopping on the way home lol ��*

gcfcos

Mate that looks stunning!! Great shine

rooos

Lovely !
enjoy it...

JC600

Also got these today, need a good clean up before fitting.

JC600

New Yokohama tyres fitted, *didn't like the Bridgestone tyres and fronts were all cracked. Sits a lot better on the Yoko's.

NobbyClark

That looks well cool mate!!

Out of interest what's the profile of the tyres?

And how much is she lowered by??

Cheers matey!!

JC600

Cheers mate, 195/50/15 tyres on 7" wide wheels. 40mm apex springs, gmax sport shocks (springs were already fitted, but say - 40mm on them).

JC600

Some new pics of the Escort after a little out...............Oh, the brakes and tyres are really good! Some stupid idiot in a Vauxhall Mervia pulled out on me, so had to do a emergency stop!!! and she just carried on, totally oblivious to it.



Any way, heres the pic's.

NobbyClark

Lovely that mate!

Micky

Very very nice,I love the clean shape of the Escort without the rear wing.

JC600

Cheers mate

Cheers mate, I was thinking about getting a sport rear spoiler but really like it without one.

The country is full of divvy drivers. I see it everyday of the week.

Nice looking car too.

JC600

I know, can't keep away from them.

Cheers Glenn.

Robmatheson

Lovely looking Escort, loads of cool wee touches that bring it together ��

JC600

Cheers mate

RSmark84

Get those flaps on them!

JC600

I think the rears are wrong, I might need the molded type as they don't seem to sit in the right place.

JC600

Few tonight after work. First of all, the battery fitted was a 063 40ah & 400 cold crank. The 1.6efi engine should have a 075 60ah 540 cold crank. So got a Bosch S4 battery at a bargain price, also got some Bosch S4 spark plugs. Another job, was to replace the breather pipes as they were past there best. Also changed the crank case breather filter, and cleaned the icv.*

Fires up better now, idles smoother and revs up nicer......just need to take it for a drive at the weekend now. *

JC600

Went, for a good drive this morning. Runs much better, and much more responsive.

On another note at 60mph my wobbly steering wheel had come back again, so went to my brothers and got all the wheels rebalanced and checked for buckles. *All ok, but checked front disc's, *and one was warped. So new disc's and pads fitted. *All fine again now.
