i dont like the mk6 escort front so im goin to try and change it to a mk5

i know i will need mk5 bonet wings and slam panel and bumpers

but wot else will i need

 

you want to go on the escort evolution forum.the guys on there will know.

 

ok thanks

 

slam pannel just needs slightly altering. i think you can keep your wings as they are the same shape. best bet is go to your local scrappy and look at a mk5 and a mk6 and you will be able to see the minor differances

 

Lets start at the front panel

There is 2 brackets that hold the headlights these are the ones closest to the grille, they need removing.

Then there is 2 bonnet supporting brackets in a v shape, they need to go aswell they are either side of the grille.

The wings can be kept but there is a lip inside the indicator housing on the mk5 wings that the mk6 doesnt have. Away round the problem is screwing the indicators to the headlights.

Then its a case of swapping the bonnet, headlights and bumper and grille over, there maybe a few things iv missed but thats most of it.

 

deffo get it done in an afternoon, only hardened peeps will notice the repeaters

and the handles and rear end lol

 

yup that about sums it up, I did just the opposite swapped from mk5 to mk6 cuz I had a set of mk6 morrettes which I think look much better than the mk5s
