Default My mk4 Escort 1.3 L

Here's my 1990 mk4 Escort 1.3L, I have had the car since August last year, I got the car from an elderly woman who lived in Falmouth who had used it for her local trips to the shops and back, I saw the car on eBay and instantly decided I wanted it, I originally lost the car on eBay and when she contacted me to say the original buyer had pulled out I set out to get it within the hour, once I went to get it the woman told me a bit about the car about what she'd had done to it and handed me everything that she had for the car, including a set of dice for interior mirror she had had in the car then went on to tell me how id " pick up all the girls with the dice " so they have since stayed in the car!

Here are the eBay photos







after it made the hour drive home without skipping a beat I ordered some retro looking wheel trims, got a new front bumper and gave it a good clean, I also looked over the little paper work it came with and done a little googling of the car and found out it was originally sold in Truro and had also never left Cornwall!












not long after buying the bumper with the splitter I decided that I actually didn't like it so I ordered a new front and rear base spec bumper from euro's and I also chucked the 13" steels away and got some 14" ones with the intention of banding them








once I had got those on I quickly got round to getting myself a set of 15x7 RS 7 Spokes and a set of 60mm spax springs and shocks



















after getting those in I got myself an 88' spec recaro interior and some other bits ( didn't have many photos of the original interior )














ive got a few more things to go into the interior and a s2 bodykit to go on but I'm waiting for paint to do that, this is how the car currently sits








My escort and my dads XR2!



ill be updating this as and when new things happen!
