ive decided for deffo im getting a 1.3/1.4 3dr prefered in the correct colours white,red,black,grey on a three door but if nothing turns up i will be getting a 1.4 3dr if not the correct colours in that section i will be getting a 5dr in grey or black or red etc

im wanting to get a pretty box standard 1.3/1.4 3dr if poss but a 5dr is just as good as everbody knows they never ever made a 5dr xr3i so theres not too much attention
im wanting to fit the bumpers and wheels and spoiler and the interior if its a 3dr ARE THE FLOORPANS ALL THE SAME IN EVERY MODEL OF MK4 ESCORT?
if its a 5dr i would like to do the rest bumpers etc but the interior will have to stay as the xr3i interior wont fit as well different cards

but if i get a 3dr i would like the recaro grey with the red squares and the door cards and rear seats but the normal xr3i grey with the red squares

if its a 5 door i would like it to resemble something of an xr3i

but dont worry i will be having a cat 1 cobra alarm fitted and 2 yes 2 diferent sets of locking nuts on it
im going to do the extra 2 weeks on my test to get the extra 5% off
and the 2% off for the alarm and another 10% family discount coz my mum works at norwich union and manger director of marine underwritting
i will get a basic type 1.3/1,4 for insurance as it may still be expensive and just strip its interior and look for rot and the under side too and anywhere else i dont want to cut and weld a lot

i would want to fit a rear soiler and the janspeed rear back box for the fist year oh and the cat 1 alarm and the interior as this dosent affect the insurance as f its got a full interior they cant say anything

after a year i would fit the xr3i wheels and bumpers

Sounds like you have a plan

What year/mark Escort is it you're actually talking about? Mk 4?

I'd buy one already done!

And I'd buy a Mk3! In fact... I'm looking for a 3 or 3i at the moment
