Default purple escort > ready for show season

ive been on here alot recently and not posted my car.

ive had this for nearly 12months and never driven it lol, bought it cheep with a little bit of frontal damage....





front bumper, wings head lights were scrap and the bonnet had a bit of damage so it all came off





bootlid was scrap due to the usual under spoiler rust so was scrapped and replaced with a 2nd hand one, which i smoothed the badge off.



weeks and months go on i just tat about getting little jobs done or more of the car stripped

i bought alot of stuff of a member of escortevolution.co.uk and had a trial fit



so on and so forth, pretty everything was been removed and either replaced for new or uprated. at this point the car was at my nans but i had gathered up alot of new parts so the car was taken home



got it back and started straight away
front end built up with new discs and pads on refurb calipers, gmax 60mm shocks and springs and everything cleaned up.



once again so on and so forth... (i'm trying to cut down 12months work into a little writing as possible)
trial fit of front end



as it stands now





there is a decent spec for this car which i shall post someother time. unfortunatle it a standard 1.8 at the moment but im slowly collecting parts for a zetec turbo build.

its going to be painted next week, pearl was out of my budget so i need to find a metallic to suit. i'm going for the cleaned look with the body being smooted in places and dropped over lenso bsx(bbs split reps).

What colour do you think?

Cheers
