Hi i'm a new user from Halifax,West Yorks,i've finally decided to reinsure my Escort Cosworth its been in a carcoon for about 20 months,heres a pic of it gave it a quick wash today(hope i've uploaded it right),swapping the splitter back to standard tommorrow from the carbon set up think it looks way better standard,

 

welcome mate.. the pics didnt come up.

 

Hi mate,yeah i'm having a few probs with the transfer from photobucket,copy & paste the link to the box & the pic doesn't come up-i'll just have to play about with it a bit & keep trying,

 

I've managed to upload a pic to my personal profile page,i'll have another go at loading up here after match of the day!

 

 

very nice mate.. any more pics??

and your gettin rid of the carbon??

 

Hi mate,I will take some more pics tommorrow (as long as its not raining!!)

I think the standard splitter looks better,i need a standard lower splitter got the upper section & both hockey sticks on ebay last week for a very reasonable Ł150 in good condition,there's a brand new lower splitter on ebay at the moment so i'll prob buy that its upto Ł70 already with 7 days to go!! there was one listed last week second hand but it was scratched & had a crack so i gave that one a miss,

 

luks nice mate..whats the spec??

and keep the carbon mate looks

 

Looks like with that plate you used to be a Vauxhall man??

Looks well in Imp blue, rminds me of my old one!

 

N-reg Full Lux model (without Air-con) original engine (Small turbo) with 37K miles, 18" Rondells, GAZ Coilovers, 280 Chip, K&N, Full Magnex exhaust, Baileys Header Tank, Baileys Swirl Pot, Baileys Oil seperator, pretty standard really,i'm thinking about throwing quite a bit of money into it this summer,i've got a Astra GSi Turbo Van what i used everyday but sadly it was written off in a bad weather accident by myself,

 

Pics of the crash

 

Looks a nasty smack. Glad your ok. Cossie looks amazing as it is there. I love it. And welcome to passion ford mate.

 

Thanks mate, i hit a kerb on a traffic island approaching a roundabout at about 70 it destroyed the wheel & sent me over the middle of the roundabout through a metal sign & eventually into a wall with earth built up at the other side,the worst part was the airbag breaking my nose & getting billed for the damage from the council!

 

Not nice. Horrible feeling crashing aint it. I had it earlier this year when a corsa pulled out in front of my escort van, causing me to swerve and just clip their wing, hit a kerb and launch myself 6ft in the air and 25ft down the verge before landing and sliding a further 40ft!!! Just thank god no one was hurt and you wasn't in the cossie.

 

Yeah its not a nice feeling at all,i was rushed to hospital as i had vomited blood but this was caused by the nose break,i swear to this day that the cruise control had come on & stayed on,i started to brake & it seemed to speed up if anything,bloody Vauxhalls!

 

Very nice

 

Hello mate & welcome

 

welcome aboardbud.car looks lovely mate.if you are gong stanrd splitter,i'd put amber indicators back in too

nasty smack in the vauxhall,could be worse though.you could have been injured bad and it could have been a ford

 

Hello and welcome mate, very nice looking Escos bud. Mark

 

welcome niice looking escos keep the carbon looks niice

 

Welcome Chap.


Really Nice Escort, I would leave the carbon splitter on, as it makes the car look more appealing to the eye.
Sorry to hear about your accident, looks very nasty, but main thing is your here.

All the best and welcome to the site.

 

Hello Guys,thanks a lot for all your replys, i think i'll leave the front as it is for now,i reinsure it on Thursday & have it booked in for its first Service/MOT in nearly 3 years,its only done 7 miles since its last Service/MOT so hopefully everything should be running as it should be fingers crossed,
Bobby,
