I've been browsing in here looking at all the pics and thought that I'd collect a few of mine together and put a post up.

sorry about the order but the car has been done for a while now and I didn't have the camera while I was doing a lot of the work so its gonna be hard to get them into a logical order, but here goes.......

Here's my little helper




Fun first - I needed some pics for some adverts I had to do











When it was first done









some other random pics




Then I thought what about a bit of aeroquip and polishing
























then a bit of carbon





I thought the wheels looked okay but had to run spacers, I "lost" a wheel on my xr4i snapping all the studs so I decided I don't like spacers anymore so changed the wheels that were the right offset. Still not too sure about them but they will do for the moment.

9x18 alloys









Now I'm swapping the managment over and sorting out a rear beam gotta cage it and various other bits which I'll update the post with pics of.

Hope you like the pics and let me know what you think

Cheers

Wheels make it look hard as fook dan,lovely escos m8.

How hard is it to make it rear wheel drive? Cheers, Benni. Awesome car thought mate.

 

Fucking lve it mate.

 

real nice

 

nice mate, but just out of interest, why RWD an not 4x4, what have you gained other than loss of traction???

 

Brian

 

stunning, i personaly preffer the focus rs wheels but its your car & it looks well smart

 

looks like a cool escos

 

nice 1,

bet all the shiny stuff is a bitch to keep clean tho

 

Hi Dan

cool pics mate cars coming along nicely, well done mate

 

fun!!

Car looks class mate, i dont like black wheels but they look hard on her, way better than the rs wheels
i cant figure out what you mean though, have you made it rwd already or are you just starting to do it?
doing the exact same thing to my mallard escos soon and was wondering what your parts list for the job is?
this is what i think ill get away with:

2wd gearbox
2wd front cross member
2wd front suspension and sterring rack
2wd sump
custom propshaft

i know far more extensive lists have been made and used inc. rear beams diff ect. but these parts look like they'll do the job
any toughts welcome

4wd is for girls

 

Dan im sure i went to yours for a rst metering unit when you were living in London am i hinking this is the same car

You were in the middle of doing it back then some time ago now

 

dan bout time you got some pics up of this beast

how did ya do that rocker cover ?

 

oh and dan you reckon im abit of a bufty ah .............seen uder your bonnet lately

 

Ello just got back on the computer

Its not difficult mainly nut and bolt job really.

1stEscort... Fucking love it mate.

cheers so do I

postal_DK... real nice

Cheers

It runs 225's as standard and I am running 235's on the back. It has got a huge wing on the back and it is rear wheel drive. It grips quite nicely. Also it doesn't have the maintenance and big bills like a 4x4.

Donuts are fun anyway!

It doesn't get out much at the moment

Cheers mate. Not a patch on yours though

The back wheels look a bit small though but they'll do for the moment

A few other bits and pieces are needed but you have got most of it listed. Just the Oil Pump and spray bar and engine arms, steering rubber - can't think what else from the top of my head.

4x4 has its place (in the fields pulling us 2WD'ers out)!!

It was you Same car - it was done and then I took it off the car again when we moved to do a few other bits and pieces which then turned into a lot more bits and pieces

Fook off - you know you are the original bufty. Mines a show case of parts

You know what I use my cars for anyway

 

about time you got some pics up dan looking good

which are the recent ones tho really need to get them in order

Ad

 

My cossie has done the same thing but is still off the road And is know where near the spec yours is

 

Very nice Dan

 

dan who did the smooth rocker cover mate?

 

I did it myself, took ages but I like it

 

I like Focus RS Wheels but the black ones look so much smoother with the color of the car.

Very cool mate!!!

and cool Aeroquip stuff, RWD even cool.

I like the CAR!!!

 

Just noticed the doggy.....

Cool dog

 

Loving the new TD rims, Dan.

 

cheers people

I'm thinking of changing the rims to Dymag 3 piece carbon wheels I think they look the bollocks just gotta re mortgage the house these will do for the moment

I got the a Wolf rear spoiler the other day I'll take some pics when i get it.

Kane dawg is my little helper he does the mundane stuff



I'll put up some more pics when I sort my other computer out, I decided a thump might make it work faster it didn't

 

Did you specify JIC fittings when ordering the header tank or did you mod it to take them mate ??

 

I supply the JIC fittings and Bailey weld them on when they make the tank for me (for an extra cost).

I've got various sizes in stock if you are after any of them.

 

Cool car. Definatley prefer it with the black wheels

 

Thought I'd get some more pics up no that the car is about to go for the MOT

I like this pic

I know the grill is darker than the rest of the car I'll have to sort that out shortly



Interior one with the Spa guages



and then pics of the Wolf spoiler that's going on!!

 

one seriously horny looking escort here

 

Take the top spoiler off Dan if your putting the Wolf spoiler on. Saw one in Germany & it looks cool

Car looks mega...love the wheels Oh & more pics of the doggy

 

Cheers Gaz

I was thinking of taking the top spoiler off but its RWD I've already take the 4x4 of it so I need as much downforce for grip on the rear as possible
