As many may or may not know, my car has been a slow work in progress for the last couple of years, with a hell of alot of help from Martoon @ Reyland and Danny @ Adrenaline.

anyway, few updated pics as its now coming out of the paint shop and spent the past day or so slowly kitting it all back up - and it feels really nice to see it all coming together at looonnnng last.

anyway.... opinions please

 

Looks wonky donkey in the last pic!

But fuck me it looks good!

 

it is wonkey donkey a little, front bumper is only rested in place in those pics, and the suspension hasnt been setup as yet, so its probably sat at different heights at each corner.

 

loving the louvres in the bonnet, was thinking the same for mine but wasnt sure as havent seen many around like this....

Dan

 

That looks tough

 

I think it looks stunning Kelv, especially the last pic..

 

looking fookin awesome kelv

 

Kelv, FANTASTIC SIGHT ! Im excited, you must be ecstatic...

Not long now fella.

 

Even with the gold rim Martin?

 

Looks better in those pics than on my paltry 6230i!!! Absolutley stunning and hard as nails, it looks great mate, just so glad you didnt break it and i expect you are too now

Can not wait to see this car finished and then there will be another reyland escos worshipped wherever it goes

 

that looks stunning mate..

 

Cheers for the kind words guys, didnt expect a response that good from so many people in such a short time scale.

Martoon, glad you like it

 

Well Martoon bribed us we had no choice... lmao

No it seriously looks evil I love it mate.

Im not up to speed with the rest how is the engine etc

 

Stunning Kelv!! Chuffed you've seen it through!

Love the way the front wheels have got a slight dish on them to match the rears, perfect!

See Martin, I do like new Comps sometimes!

 

Get rid of that shitty gold space saver and it will be purrrfect


The kit works well in that colour, subtle but aggressive

 

Looks spot on that

 

Looks stunning Kelv , glad its starting to come together. Cant wait to see it with weight in the front to see how the 9x18's look with the wrc arches as i have a set in the shed that im in two minds about.

 

Luke, PM coming over in 5 mate.

gold space saver is there to see if i like gold wheels and if i like the ripley wheels - still sat on the fence with those but they look huge in comparism to the MO's, will swap it to the front tomorrow. and my other MO is with Martoon at the moment anyway.

Cheers Dan

Mart, i have to keep you updated, as i do Neil and my hairy homo lover

 

Did you get the full car painted Kelv or just parts. Only ask as you still have the original filler and the new on in the window.

 

Oh fuck off you attention seeking whore!

Rich - Blow me!

 

I had an escort that how I would want it!

 

the rear quarter was something i hadnt thought about having filled until the last minute, and then it was to late.

hes painted everything for me inside (floor, cage, pillars etc) are all in a light grey.
externally the only thing he hasnt painted is the roof, but hes given that a good mop today so it doesnt really show, and the only reason the roofs not been painted is im hoping to have that changed beginning of next year aswell

Neil, the front wings are genuine WRC panels, is that what youve got?

 

really nice

 

ding dong m8 looks fooking lovely dat what head lights i cant remember what you have in it, standard or twins ?? its gonna gobble up evos and spit them out.. top job

 

Looks really good, prefer the 9x18 MOs
Any inside pictures yet?

 

i did have a few interior pics when he painted the inside the other week, ill dig one out in a mo.

i think the Mo's will stay for road wheels.

Jan, saw the car at FF, didnt know who you were to say hello to tho, even tho i looked around asking the odd person if they knew what you looked like


Cheers Patrick, twins but only with the outers mate.

 

kelv, Looks mint!

I'd leave it on the Ripley rims! and i thought you were having WRC bumper?

 

only the wings Karl

only 2 pics ive got of the dash so far.

 

Sorry, I was all over the place spending some money... The guy next to me with his 4 spacesavers on would have know though I'll be back over next year, most likely without the Escort, too much trouble driving the fucker that far. Would be good to see you here next summer though...

 

If Kelv had asked : there he is Kelv, the smug git in the stripey top with the 19" centrelocks

The spacesavers are ok on a Shitty Saff though Jan, just need something bigger on an Escos

Mind you i reckon i could fit your rims on mine

 

Sorry, couldnt resist... 19"s look good on Escort, but they are shocking on UK roads. I thought Norwegian roads were bad... There is a Swedish Saff with 19" centrelock Cromodoras, it looks the nuts. I'll PM you a couple of pictures

 

Awesome car, looks like you've put alot of work into it.

 

when it going to be on the road kelv????


Hope soon!

 

The wings i have are kevlar coppies but i removed them from a car and they are a brilliant fit. I seen a pic from ford fair of Adams car with the wings fitted with 8x18 mo's and thought it made the car look realy high at the front with the gap from tire to wing.

 

Kelv, i didnt realise you were at FF once you send this PM we can see if you will be at Nat day..

 

that will be because adam didnt fit his wings properly, he chose to cut them and theyve lost there correct shape.

the guy that made them has made them for several years - even made mine and Martoons and weve both fitted them with no issues.

adams looks silly now in my opinion, and its highlightd by the fact that he said they 'pinged upwards when he cut them'. hes then welded sctions into the back of the wings and filled over the front of them, seems a waste of money to have done that to a genuine set.

mine will sit and fit exactly the same as Martoons

 

been waiting ages for an update on this car kelv!

please oh please keep the car on dark comps!!!! looks soooooooo dam hard!!!

 

Def keep the OZ wheels, keep them gold. just looks like any other escos with the mo's. I'll be watching.

 

Looks tuff as fuck Kelv love it

 

Thats lovley Kelvin ... Shame about the fuel filler tho but could you not use the space for something ?

air jacks maby mate?
