What happened to the silver mk3 escort with the mk2 forest arches that was for sale on here and eBay?didi it ever sell?

 

Yes mate i know the current owner, she will be along shortly to tell all....if its the one im thinking off

 

Mint car just a shame they arches look out of place looks horrendous

 

With a bit of luck the new owner has removed them arches , lol

 

Still have it, changed my mind about selling it. Just had a new engine, mounts and suspension put in it as well as fuel system ect... Currently being set up, shame it didn't make it to classic ford.

NO the arches haven't been removed, the car is sitting 10m lower and bigger wheels are onthe cards.

Im not a fan of how it looks in pics the feature pics in classic ford Aug 2011 werent that great... The car looks amazing in the flesh though, so many people have changed their mind about it when seen inthe flesh too, they always comment on how well the arches are made!

For me the best bit is the leather! It's been made to suit the year of the car that's for sure lol

 

Oh yeh their not mk2 arches they are hand made

 

Still fucking stinking ! be much nicer with normal wings & quarters , each to their own i boak every time i see a pic of it

 

Yep each to their own! I think they look great!

 

or you could say, its harder to take the piss when the owners standing talking to you

 

Any pics?

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

No wonder some people hate this forum! Fucking rude people!


So what if someone wants their car to look different to everyone else's?
Got enough stick in the past about having this car! I like it, if u want to be rude don't comment ur just making this website look bad!

 

keep the car how you like it ,

i build my cars for me not for other people to like it,

there will always be haters let them get on with it...

 

I'll second that.

 

pic's, i don't rememeber seeing it

 

looks good with the arches id say

 

ah found a pic

 

Not a fan of the way those arches look tbh, the front arch in particular looks way too deep.

 

 

I like it

 

I like that man....

minilites are cooool, and suit it

 

You can have your car how you want it and people are entitled to their own opinion of it. I wouldn't let it bother you.

My opinion is it looks shit

 

Tat, IMO it looks the dogs danglies

 

think i would look better with some 15's or 16's

 

One of my favourite cars on here, so different to the norm. I still want to buy it if i get the money any time soon

 

Been looking for a nice set of comp turbos for it

As said it is sitting lower with the arches more filled

I've got better photos of it they don't show anything off really

But anyway each to their own, we like it and have plans for it

 

Yeh everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's ment to be a friendly site for people to come to with the same interests ect and comments like that aren't nice at all about fellow members cars...
If I look at something that I don't like I don't comment. But that's how iv been brought up

 

I like it, but would fit a set of these

 

Wasn't sure about it until I saw it at Ford Fair last year. Looked fantastic. Can't wait to see what it looks like with the new bits going on!

 

I really like it, maybe its a marmite thing. Would look awesome with bigger wheels.

 

Why would anyone wanna copy what everyone else has done or are doingg,,,

Its good to be different

..ps... please dont get comp rims theyre so common...

What about a nice set of Starmags like on old Mini's? That would look epic!

 

Not my cup of tea but i aint gonna slate it,i do think it will look nicer with bigger wheels.Interior is stunning

 

Mark has suggested going with starmags, but also had a snoop at getting allycats .. Image rims are the ones to go to for custom made wheels but then could just go 15x9 mini lites .... Deffo not going with comps not the right wheel for the car

 

i like it, i dont want to own it but its good and different, people so much worse to these old cars

 

It looks better than a lot of the shit on this site,with the usual rs turbo replica

If it was RWD it would be even better.

 

what you need to do is screw on the s1 kit, bolt on some 18' comps and rwd it with a yb

i'm sure no ones ever done that before and it would be fresh and original

 

I like it, its different.

 

Starmags or Allycats yeahhhh. win win win

 

That has been been one of marks ideas but he's got another idea but won't go into that yet

 

Maybe I'm a little biased, I loved owning it. Love it or hate it you've got to give it props for what it is, a well made, well executed machine.
