Thought i'd start up a project thread,not going to be a major project just a few small improvments.
1989 'G' Escort 1.4L,bodywise very good,2 previous owners the last having it for 17 yrs,guy owns/runs a garage so has had lots done/well maintained.
Came with 14" Sierra 4x4 alloys & 3 spoke Rs steering wheel.

Managed to find a good pair of 90 spec Recaros local to me,gave them a good clean at the weekend.



Picked this gearknob up on Ebay Ł2-waiting for a leather gaitor to arrive,once its here ill cut the gear stick down slightly.

Back in about 1996 i had a Mk2 Orion 1.6 Ghia which i put Recaros in,had to buy the complete Escort RST trim so had the rear seat still so fitted the bottom section,got the 60% flip down side to go in,only prob is im missing the 40% half cover so need to try & find one (if anyone can point to where i may find one).


Future plans-fit some 90 spec Orion 1.6 ghia/Escort ghia door cards-40mm drop-sports exhaust & 15" Mondeo steel rims in either silver or gun metal.

 

looks like a tidy example but we all no small projects dont stay small for long

 

I've got some koni adjustable and key with -40mm lowering springs

 

Small update,finally fitted the 15" Mondeo steels & had a custom sports exhaust made by Pipecraft in Basildon.

 

Small update.After a long search i managed to locate a set of replacement door cards in grey to match the Recaro's (need to get a pair of elec window grab handles as the standard ones are a different size.


Found a set of nos Mk3 Escort steel wheel centre caps,think they finish the wheels off a treat,plus had a 35mm drop.



Sparco mud flaps

 

Nice clean condition.Top work.

 

What offset are the wheels? Dont they need spacers?

 

Cool car.It looks really clean.Escorts look mint on escorr cossie wheels.Get some bought.

 

Looks in mint condition. Loose the flaps tho mate. Genuine ones would look a lot better or none

What are the door cards from?

 

I fitted the mudflaps as wanted to give the paintwork more protection.The door cards are from a Orion GL.

 

The stamp marks on the wheels are 6.5J x 15 x 49,5 they bolted straight on.

 

Fuck me them steels actually set that wee car off a treat

Nice one

 

Really cool!
