Hey guys, i've recently bought an escort mk3 1.3L (i think it's the mk3, it's around a 1990- 3 doored, my parents bought it for my first car at £200, bargain!)
I was wondering if there are any bodykits that are modern that can fit on it?
Or, are there any rally kits? Help would be much appreciated.

 

welcome

It'll be a mk4 if its 1988-91

best bodykit is no bodykit for these cars unless you want to chav it up IMO, or fit an rs turbo kit but that's been done to death.

 

Okay, thanks.
I'm not sure what it is, actually, i know its around the mk3-mk4 period, and it's only done 80k miles.
So the bodykits make it look chavvy? - fair enough, do you know where to get a new wheel arch, because the one on the car i am picking up in a few hours is slightly rust bitten.
-Pics will be up as soon as possible -

 

As above, Except the RS turbo kit done to death.......... theres a reason its done to death, because it looks so right!

you could build a replica of the origional Escort Cosworth

Clean and simple (stunning mk4!!!)



Cosworth mk4 Mule


RS Turbo kit, no introduction

 

Wow - That looks stunning! May i ask how much it costs to do that? I dont think i can get the turbo kit, my car is only a 1.3 without turbo, and im new to cars.
Do you know how much it is to make it look like a rs cosworth?

 

Clean simple=perfect.

 

Yes bodykits are chavvy period. I do exclude the RS body kits etc though, also putting the RS kit on a lesser car just woulden't look right either really as everyone would know thats it's not an RS

Personally I would leave it as it is, plus remember you also would have to declare any modifications to your insurer, thus this will increase what will already be a large premium.

What you would need, ideally, is a repair section for the wheel arch. I don't think however these are avaliable, certainly not from Ford I should not think.

Can you not repair/have repaired the rust thats there?

Priceless as it's impossible, the Escos is a totally different car, you can't even do a good replica on a MK5 on which it's based (Which in fact in itself shares only 3 panels with lesser models), , unless your talking about the 'Mule' that's posted above?

I wish i could, but it's like a bite has been taken out of the arch

 

yes, i was on about the mule, i like the look of that :P
