yeah will look good when its gets a wash and small bit of bodywork. some fucker scraped the passenger 1/4 and bumper in a car park. he's going to add a few minor carbon touch's here and there.

original for me too
dont think you can improve on std but lowered and no other exterior touches,
theres so many chavved up escorts when you see an original one its a real shock

opening rear 1/4 glass looks very cool tho

Its not my car dont blame me lol. Its jamies. Its been propper shit roads up here just lately but he's gave a good clean up since saturday anyway lol. some old boy in the hospital car park reversed out and swung a bit far and tapped the corner of the back bumper just scraping it and putting a shallow dent in the left rear 1/4 at the back. Lot will push out but the guy he works for is excellent at bodywork so will be sorting it out for him when he gets time. Will be fixed for the show season I would imagine. still going strong though. few niggly bits have been sorted out but the sort of stuff that comes with a car that age lol. he much prefers it to his old rover 218vvc tomcat though lol
