Default Mk2 escort 2lady owners

The old escort... Bought her from the original owner 8yrs ago now.

Was a fully standard 1300 ghia.

Now a tuned 1700 xflow on 40dhla's with a ported head, polybushed all round, quick rack, adjustable front and rear billie coilovers, uprated pinto rad,
HID headlights, single box exhaust etc etc.

For those of you that haven't seen the rusty beast.
She's far from perfect but she's not bad

Lovely looking motor.

What are the wheels and what offset are they? Did you have to roll the rear arch lips?


Cheers Craig.

They are 7x13s and yea the arches were rolled when I had them done.

The wheels are from midland wheels I think, was a while ago now that I got them.

Cheers loubie. I fitted the smae wheels to my 4 door though with lower profile tyres. I need to get the arches done.

Out of interest could you get the centre caps to fit?
