Not sure on plans yet, it's so original and standard I'm scared to touch it! Was thinking of some 16x7's BBS RS reps and coilovers to begin with and take it from there really. Just love the clean look.

If it is rot free then leave it 100% original, as it's value will only go up. It looks very clean!

Thanks. To be perfectly honest, the offside rear arch has a very slight 'rust' issue, the rear bumper is kinked slightly(must be a slight impact at some stage,very slight though) and that's about it really. Just being fussy. I like the 'more door' lol I've had a few of these all being 5dr's.

I think I'll definitely put either lenso bsx or dare RS alloys on her. Not sure on what size to go for though :/ I'm stuck between 15x7 and 16x8 with 195/40's?!? Helpppp!!!!

I just don't know what suspension setup to go for with 16's. obviously don't want it like a roller skate but don't want it scraping low either! Any recommendations as to what springs/shocks to go for to have it Sitting just right? Thanks guys

Lovely car! Id be tempted to put it on air ride that way you can go high as you like, low as you can, and everything inbetween...

Also dont do BBS reps...they look pants! Get some BBS RM's on it or similar!

Aren't BBS RS and RM very similar? I've found a couple of pics of wheels that I love and think would suit her really well...

What do you think? I'm thinking 16x8 all round with 195/45's...

Nice one, where did you find that little gem. Going back to your youth then.

Gone are the days of kev & the eclipse but obviously you couldnt resist the five door fetish.

Where are you now then? I'll have to pop round one day when the little one is here.

Simply stunning Escort, I've seen a couple of mark 3's in my area recently, will have to try and get some pics of them, but not as good condition as this stunner.
