Default My Escort Project

Hi all what do you think of my project so far its nearly sorted on the outside lol it started off like dis


I fitted my subs and spent ages trying to stop the bloody car rattlin u have to excuse the stupid exaust thing lol thats been binned lol


Then i got it resprayed cos it was covered in dints and got some new wheels, tinted the windows got a better back box.


Then i spent all day polishing it went to tesco and on the way back some twat hit me up the arse

I give it a polish today cos it looked a mess i had to change the steering rack and a bottom arm shocks springs the lot lol But it looks good now just gotta find a door trim.





So wat ya think of my car still got a few bits to sort out tho

it might be easyer in a mk5 to fit the speakers in i had trouble getting mine out it was a pain lol, hopefully i should get quite a bit of compensation from the crash hopefully enough to pay for lowering springs rs2000 side skirts and bumper spats doubt it will pay for my engine plans tho lol

Glad you like the site

I think the MK5 rear shelf peices are very similar to the mk6.. It shouldnt be any harder to fit the 6x9's to them.

benib, we sell quality GRP replica rs2000(GTi) skirts + spats (FAO post pinned in our forsale section)
