Evenin all.
I've been registered on here ages, just never really posted pictures of my cars, cos, well, some of em aren't that exciting, and I'm a lazy fucker. You might notice a theme here too
But, just to keep Jimbo happy, here we go
First car, Escort Equipe, 1.4 power
Followed by this, 1.6 Ghia, was a minter this...
Then this one, 1.6 EFI S, turned out to be rather rotten so was broken. Handled well though...
Then had this for a few weeks, Orion 1.8i, gained Koni's and wheels off the red one, then it blew up
So bought this from an auction cheapie, 1.8 Ghia X with full leather. Gained a few mods, then got broken for spares cos it wasn't a great shell
Got rid of that so I could get this, which was really clean, a 1.6 carb Orion
Then that just ended up sitting around doing nothing cos of work at the time, so I replaced it with this, another Equipe, this time in MK2 Orion flavour. Was a tidy car when I sold it, but the next owner (an ex member of this very forum) ruined it and it ended up at the banger track when he sold it.
Had this at the same time, just for breaking, as it was rotten and the engine was shagged, but had a few nice bits on, so wasn't a bad little earner
After the MK2 Orion, I had this for a few months, Mondeo 1.8, with all the Ghia X toys fitted and an RS kit
I then missed Escorts
So bought this MOT failure, and it went from this...
Into this....
I had RS skirts for it, and also a 2.0 black top zetec with forged pistons and H-section rods, and a T34 ready for this, so I bought this as a donor for a few bits, then scrapped it. Was rotten but actually drove really well
Then, trying to be sensible, and off to university, I sold the blue Escort and all the engine bits, with the intention of buying something fairly normal. Except I ended up with this instead
2.0 MK6 Escort Ghia
So that brings us up to date. Happy now Jim?
Reached a bit of a crossroads, the MK6 is for sale (PM me
) and I have no idea what to replace it with. I'd like something quicker, and more interesting, but the budget isn't great. I don't want to go jap, but Ford doesn't have much to offer in my price range
