wouldve deffo boughtt it if it was nice n sold the clio on, oh well

 

Looks cool on escos rims

 

whats the reg on it mate. looks like my old 1.?

 

yeah cossie rims are lush

tony i got no idea on the reg other than it was a C plater

 

my 1 was lowered 60mm, escossie wheels, 215/40x16 tyres, stainless, single wiper, de-locked, 200+bhp, koni's etc an am sure that might be it. did the guy have 2 of them at anytime?
how long roughly did he own it? 3 yrs?

 

dunno tony, only had 2 seconds on the phone with him cos it was sold, all he said was its on its way to ireland now.

 

Just phoned the guy that owned the car and it IS my old 1. how cool is that. am well chuffed. i built it from a bare shell 3 years ago. i wrecked it. just glad its still alive. its vauxhall glacier white which is a bit whiter than diamond white.......... just cant believe it.

 

well done for saving it tony

 

u got any pics of it from when you owned it?

 

 

PICS ARE A BIT SHIT. DIDNT AV A DIGI CAMERA BACK THEN.

 

Fuck Me Tony, you did mash it bad!

 

And its now been rebuilt to that standard?????? Did you have to modify anything mate to get the Esc Cossie wheels to fit as my mate wants to put some on, but wont buy until he knows if any mods needed?

Rich

 

engine bay looks pretty bloody clean

and it also looks like u done a good job crashing it

 

 

tell the story then tony

 

that was cheap for the work it has had to it

 

i had the car for 10 days. never drove a car with lsd or turbo before. as usual showing off. dropped a m8 off at a party. took off gan like fook. changed into 3rd an it boosted up half way round a greasy corner. front end went straight on so i lifted off and it went opposite way. crashed into a listed wall with cast railings etc. bounced off of that and landed in trees at other side of road. sunroof popped out. cd player went through the heater matrix, front pipe was crushed, chassis leg bent bottom pulley.
went to rogersports and got a 90 spec H reg shell which was mint and put mk3 panels onto it. took 14 months to do. would have done it quicker but it was at a friends farm and we couldnt get near it for 3 month bcos of the foot and mouth.
it was painted in vauxhall glacier white by a m8 who charged me £50 plus paint to do it. the escossie wheels were an after thought. originally it was to have 17" oz super t's but when they arrived i didnt like em. went an got escossie wheels and put them on. front arch were cut off 20mm below bodykit and the arches were bonded on. lips were cut off all the arches and the rears were rolled. lowered 60mm 215/40x16's and it didnt rub when fully loaded. i wish i had kept the car now that i'v seen its still around.

 

up

 

I saw this on the trader last week too.

Looks like you and your mates did a top job Tony, well done!

Escort Cosworth wheels do look awesome on it!

 

it was a very good shell. cheap as chips to.
