Mate dont even bother buying this car, it is hideous looking. You will get abused everyday in the street by people if you drive this.

Has to be the worst modified Escort i have ever seen.

PS welcome to the site.

Missing pic.



As said mate..you're 35. Buy something with some class or history. This will get you ridicule worldwide.
Have you got children? If so you'll get disowned...badly. If you haven't I fear you'll never get the opportuinity to have children if you buy that as NO SANE woman would be seen in that.

The arches aren't that bad so if you do buy it I hope you'll be ripping off that stoopid spoiler plus bonnet and bumpers whilst you're at it.

The not being able to get insurance is a good excuse to get rid of it.

Oh my fucking god!! A normal Mk 5 Escort on a J plate is only worth Ł150 but that has been further de valued with all that tat hanging off it.

Remove all the junk off it, sell the alloys on ebay and any other "High value" item and sell the car for a couple of hundred quid....

Ignore all them lot.

The bonnet is clearly a ferrari F50 genuine item.

The front bumper is a "Snowplough Front Bumper", Purchased from. www.imatwat.com/theresnohope

And the spoiler.

The spoiler is actually by Vileda Caprice, and can be found here in argos. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/8505882.htm

Hope this helps

i think it`s a wind up being a hgv driver would help him easily get insured. and also being 35 would to. im 33 and know for sure if i wanted to insure that escort with no "no claims" i would be able to aswell. i smell a rat

The advice was simple...
Don't buy it!

If your taking the body kit off, then get a standard 1, put some wheels on it and lower it.

i completely 100 percent agree with shawn on this

i'm not a die hard fan of Fords
in fact i like the escort cosworths and gt 40 and the 3dr cosworth and rs500 and some classic fords...but i didn't really need to tell you that
rs turbo's fezzy and escort

Wheels arent bad TBH.

But to take the body back to standard(ish), is gonna be a lot of work.
IMO its not worth bothering with.
You could buy the same car standard in very good nick for less money than it will cost to sort the body out on that.
To take the arches off, source and fit new front and rear bumpers, bonnet and remove the spoiler from the tailgate is a major job, and the car will then need a full paint bar the roof.

If youve already bought it and cant insure it, sell it is my advice.
