Default Runabout escort bonus

Heres some pics of my runabout mk4 escort bonus, bought it as a cheap hack while i fixed mk mk2 fiesat zetec but i ended up selling the shell and im now going to stick the engine in the escort, just need a few little bits to finish of the conversion! car already came with koni adjustables, full rs interior,polybushed and the 15inch alloys, iv now fitted turbo bonnet,2 litre mondeo calipers with rs discs,mondeo steelies and smoked rears.

Hope you like

Wheels seem to fit fine mate,could maybe do with fitting some spacers to give it a wider stance but apart from that iv had no problems!
