ok so i built my mk1 onion last year and that was meant to be the daily to replace my other mk1 onion daily..... the onion turnt out pretty nice n became a garaged car and i bought another daily lol.

a brown 1.3 4speed 46k mint mk3 escort 2 door estate!!!! absolutely standard!!!

couldn't stay like that long so got at it, il let pics do the talking!! but after a years ownership iv got car to look and drive how i want but engine still 1300 needed thinking about!!!
























as it stands it running and I'm booking it in to get the megasquirt mapped asap.... buzzing to drive it!!!

 

Love it

 

Wow that's cool! Really liking the brown too.

 

Haha gonad, nice plate and an epic little car

 

Thats pretty cool. Like it

 

Thats mint. I have seen a few pics of it from the classic ford show.

 

Saw this at bhp at loved it! Really cool be proper sorted now with a decent engine

 

Like it noticed plenty of Mk3's at classic ford this year...
glad i kept mine now!

 

looks well tidy mate you done a great job on it

 

Like it

 

smart looking escort.combi

 

Nice one mate, I like the racing brown.

 

thanks for the positive comments people, its always good getting a standard car then changing it into ur own, not buying one done and just painting the wheels n stuff lol......
hopefully its join to get set up next week, its sitting in the garage doing nothing at the min as its ready to get mapped just waiting on one or two things. done the complete conversion in a week flat out, but loom was dodgy (not pictured loom) and car wouldn't run, so ordered another loom from phil at extra efi and i started from scratch re doing it, then started on the button!!!
its the daily so only gonna run sensible boost.. 10-12psi ish with scope to run 15psi.... because racecardaily.... specs pretty good to be fair so pretty confident in it!!
i use it for work, picking kids up, doing weekend garden jobs n filling it with shit and tools, i chuck engines in the back, stick a roof rack on it n pick up shit etc.... jus gonna be a bit less mind deadening driving lol

thanks for looking and the comments!! once set up il give an update! then back to the projects lol

 

It will go bloody well with that engine in

 

one can only hope lol!!!anything between 200 and 250 is plenty for it, i won't be chasing figures just yet!!

 

Love it

 

That`s sweet!

 

Too good for a daily!

 

more pics needed looks the nut sacks

 

Hello mate car looks awesome,just out of intrest what rad and intercooler u using

 

from a 1.3 4 speed daily to a 2.0 zebec turbo... still a daily with kids car seats.... jus get to the school quicker from work nowadays lol

 

For me the wheels let the rest of the car down. But the rest has just got so much win, its emotional lol.

Absolutely love it

 

S1 turbo rims= good job well done.

 

Love it! Where are the plates from?? Are they legal font as they are just what I want to run on my P100 daily when its finished. Any hassle from the law?

 

I bought these..

great quality and BS stamped so should be good come MOT time..

HTH

 

stunning looking car wheels look the nuts

Nice power as well nice quick car

 

very nice buddy

 

thanks people!

but thank you!!
of all wheels you could have mentioned you chose some boring basic s1 wheels..... wheres your imagination man!!!!!!! ;0) pmsl

plates were just ebay hobbies and spacing and lettering is illegal so no doubt gonna get grief but iv got magnets glued to them (ally plates) and bona get new legal ones n just swap them for meets etc.
thanking you mr simso!!!! will catch up with ya soon no doubt mate!!!

 

Thats an impressive figure. I like the car how it is.

 

That looks ace. I'm a massive mk3 escort fan

 

Very nice, bet it goes well too is it going to be at fordfair ?

 

thanks Glenn I'm more than happy how it is to! yea I'm over the moon with the 245, hopefully I'm in the safe zone n aren't putting everything to the limit... turbo could do with replacing tho but no rush at the minute.

cheers AJC I'm mad on the mk3s, loads of character and different models to choose from!!

yes mate it went ford fair, took her out on track to which was fun..... power was great on straights but the tires weren't ideal on the bends lol. but originally bought the session for my track s1 but it never made it.

 

Did see a brown escort estate. On track thought it must of been you

 

Well smart and i love the colour!

 

Love this car!

 

What gear box are u running mate ?

 

lol i reckon mine was possibly the only brown estate on track that day!

cheers!! standard colour, i was thinking id paint it to begin with but it grew on me massively!!!
thanks!!!
its just a s2 turbo box with a quaff diff, been sleeved with mk3 outer case so have the 4 bolt box mounting point on front of the case....... the box is making some odd noises tho so I'm possibly going to do a FRS conversion. costly and not a quick turn around what with the mount modding, elec speedo issue etc so il ride out my time for along as i can with this noisy box.

 

Fantastic but like Maxwell the wheels let it down massively for me. I can understand wanting to retain the sleeper but just think Mondeo 15" or 16" steelies would look so much better. The stretched tyre look is just one of my all time least favorite modifications like Zetec S back bumpers on Mk3 Fiesta's.

It is of course your car though so you do whatever makes you happy with it. We build our cars for ourselves at the end of the day not for every other bugger.

 

I seen your car at ford fair and I seen it on track too.
