Any ideas welcome











As i said i will update more wen i get the car on saturday

Cheers

 

very tidy lookin motor mate

 

good cars mate not meny of the about me old man had one in black

 

cheers, ye the guy said there aint many about, so i dont know weather to do it a 2.0 zvh or keep the engine as it is

 

looks cool mate clean it up and stick zvh in keep as sleeper

 

Looks tidy, would make a nice sleeper indeed

 

just go the whole zetec route why zvh when your going to all that bother anyway

 

Or RST

 

thing is im going dwn the zvh route because i dont need to touch the loom, i just havent got the time or the head to do it lol

 

Hey up chap, am a newbie, just bought a 1.6 sport myself. Have a look in the general chat section i put a post with some pics.

 

looks nice m8. do you know if thats the original badges on it, as ive been trying to find out what was on them. But i can't find anything abouth the 1.6 sports

 

the sport badge was if rember was just a red sticker next to the escort badge wos like that on me dads when he brought his and ther used to be a white on around my eara with same badge

 

if you decide to sell the front bumper, let me know dude please

 

im keeping the bumpers on there m8 soz

 

looks nice mate, had my eye on this as well.

I had an S2 that was G585 DSJ

 

if it was mone i would keep it as clean and original as possible, look how much the mk1 fez 1.3 S goes for these days, give it a few years and loads of TLC you will make a mint... power wise why not keep it simple with a set of twin carbs?

 

couldnt agree more. Tidy her up (please keep it two tone), lowered on S2 alloys with carbs and a stainless

 

its defo staying 2 tone i think it looks nice, i have been thinking about doing carb n cams etc

 

lower it a touch and put some bike carbs and cams on the original lump,and leave as is cool and cheap as you like,good luck with the project

 

Looking good for 20 years old, and welcome to the site mate.

 

nice car welcome to pf

 

No mate, the badges on mine are RS1600i graphics, altered to read 1600 S. Unfortunately i have no idea what the standard badges were like.

 

i seen yours on ebay looked real clean

 

Thanks fella, she's not a bad old girl

 

well last nite i spent a few hour f in n blindin fittin a lowering kit off my bros rs turbo, but at the mo i cant start the car. i think the jets on the carb r gone, so this afternoon me n my old man r gunna try towing it n bump startin it. while its out in the lane ill take a few more pics

 

well heres the pics of it lowered. its yet to have a wash so still looks grubby, as fot the front my new headlights tured up this morning but im waiting on my new clear indicators before i fit them and ive got clear site repeters

 

looks great mate, i was put off when the seller said it was a bit tatty round the edges but it looks very tidy!

clears will look good on it, i'm hoping you put S2 wheels on her

 

it is a little tatty but a bit of elbow grease and it will look smart,
im affraid im keeping them wheels i cant afford new wheels yet but when i can i will look into s2 wheels

 

Carb jets can't just 'go' as such mate, possibly get blocked up with some muck dragged through from the tank, or if its been stood a bit they can get gummed up with fuel residue. Have you checked its sparking Mart?

 

ye she sparkin a lil after we bumped it me n my old man r starting to think its the plugs, so im going to buy a set in the wekk and go from there realy

 

dont look tatty mate, looks very tidy, wished i bidded on it now

good work

 

lol, well my plans for it this weekend, as long as it does'nt snow or rain, is to clean it inside and out giving it a nice polish up

 

well my new tinted rear lights turned up, and when i took them out of the box 1 of them was broken, heres a pic of them on the car. if you look at the left hand 1 you can see the black out line is missing



so today i went ahead and polished the car and heres the out come,
also i found the broken bits of the lights so im repairing them and thats y theres different lights on the rear

thats wen i done half the bonnet-






i also bought a second hand scorpian exhaust system for it wich im hopeing to have delivered and on the car next weekend.
ive also got the car running again but im not to sure what the problem was, i took a few of the engine parts off and cleaned them up gave it a serviced and now its running again, So its all going good. So far

 

looks a nice motor

 

cheers m8
finally got mi headlights and indicators on, so wen it stops snowing i shall take a few more pics of the front end

 

i think you should lower it about 60mm on diomand cut s2 wheels with a black back and a set of twin 40 webers

nice simple and easy to put back to standard if its worth more as standard if you sell it

EDIT: what wheels are on it now? size aswell!? look quite nice

 

well its lowered now but needs to be driven to settle
the wheels are escort m6 rs2000 alloys i realy like em so ill keep them on for now

 

Looks ace, love the black on white it has, looks good

 

i think you should sell me it

 

Still looks tidy for a car that is 20 years old already. My mom used to drive that same car when we were little. She sold the ford parts when it broke down already. Good luck on the mods!
