FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU THE MK3 RWD V6,
THE RS2000 ESCORT WAGON!!!

Hi guys, let me start by saying thank you for the welcome to the forum
and to those whom have dedicated attention to detail in their project in order for others to learn

now that im nearing the end of my 5 year rwd mk3 project its finally time i start on a decent daily for myself to use
its grand having something in the shed to look at and use the odd time but now its time for something serious and reliable

so here goes
My Ford Escorts history starts with a close neighbour, jude whom has had the car since new
car was bought by myself and here is where the project starts
so far its a regular 2000 Escort estate 1.4L with 127,000mls on the clock

mods so far include
Escort Cosworth 16x8s off my previous car my ford ka
Rs2000 Mk5 escort seats
and a shitty radio
but hay with all good projects they start boring, heres the pics















this is just the beginning i hope you guys see the potential at the moment its a little rough lol

 

Looks nice, good luck with it!

 

very nice!!! needs lowering though, imo

 

Nice project always prefered the shape of these over hatchback, check out rs2000 been broken on done deal

 

Looking forward to this one. Ive got a feeling it will look really cool when finished!!

 

my day yesterday began with my escorts gearbox giving me a nice headache on the way to work lol, driving 120k and lil shake and boom smoke out the back and me saying swear words, gear oil allover the exhaust and underneath. so my daily wants the conversion faster then we where planning. so here goes, my mothers 97 nissan micra convertable as my daily and the car up on the lift with the wheels off.
8 - 10 days off for xmas and two weekends so 14day 4wd project.
plenty pics to follow guys

 

cant wait to see the updates....Ive got the same car,looking for some inspiration.
Would love to see what can be done...

 

getting thin on the ground decent estate models so fair play to you

 

Missing something here..... You said 14day 4wd project. You going Rs2k 4x4 ?

 

The wheels really suit the escort.

 

yep rs2000 16v 4x4

 

Crack on then plenty of pics though

 

will do lads it wont be all aero quip hoses and braided lines but itll be in properly. the modding will come subtley afterwards.

 

Even though the high roller threads are good I like the down to earth threads just as much. Do you have a doner car

 

yep got a rotten donor car. so im not destroying something im salvaging. looking forward to the work this weekend

 

Should be fairly straight forward up to the rear end then make a mount set for the rear axle set up, are you using the Rs suspension turrets ?

 

love how life throws curve balls your way lol sorry for not getting on top of this but i got some good news, im going to be a father so the project went on the back foot honestly when i found out. got a carbon roof though and bought a few bits, got toyo proxies t1rs so heres a pic of my little to nothing progress
