Default Escort mk3 5 door project

Some of you might of seen my mk4 bonus that i had green on the deck with 15 inch soft spokes lol, well i sold that in favour of this old girl!. Picked her up on ebay for 100quid lol after not being on the road for 2 years (previous owner was in the military so great person to buy off imo), shes pretty mint to be fair am well chuffed not much rust ie arches doors etc (there is some here and there but hey shes 25 years old!!) took her for mot and she failed on the usual need a plate on the front crossmember and a small plate on the o/s/r sill, rotten exhaust and pitted brake discs (but she flew through the emissions!!) done all that now and got her on the road, puts a smile on your face everytime you drive her (dont all fords . . . till they break down lol!!).

My plans are lower it 60mm ,s1 rs turbo wheels in gloss black rs turbo bumpers colour coded, 16i chin if i can get a cheapish 1 or xr3 spats which i have and a set of 16 i seats. also might have a 1.6cvh lined up - watch this space lol

heres the pics off ebay!!









what you think??
