Default Ford's of Fife!

Here's a few photo's of our efforts from Dunfermline, Fife:





Very quick story on each car:







This was bought for £70 with no mot or tax because Kyle needed a run about while he restores his mk1 'tina. Its lowered 60mm, Cossie wheels in black, clear indicators, tinted rears, S1 Turbo Recaros and a modest ICE system.







This was also bought as a run about but plans changed! Mark has had the car resprayed, it has been lowered 60mm on 17" Ditecs, clear indicators, tinted mk2 rears, XR3i bib, s/s exhaust and motor bike plates. Up for sale soon as he has bought a stunning mark 1 Escort!







Jarack's Fiesta is lowered 40mm on 16" Mondeo Si rims, clear indicators, lexus style rears, s/s exhaust, leather interior from a Granada Cosworth, alcantara door trims and some tunes. This car is work in progress and is shortly gettin a full spray with smoothed tailgate etc.







This is my run about while my XR3i gets blitzed! Another Eclipse, lowered 70mm on RST wheels, clear indicators, smoked rears, cut down plates, K&N, strut brace, Granada Cossie leather (rears to go in eventually) Momo s/wheel and a half decent ICE system.

Hope you like them...

Rosco

Thought you might Jeek - you could have washed it at least!

Eclipse's are great, dirt cheap to insure, cheap tax and they take a lot of stick!

Yeah change the subframes and try and wire up the tilt motors to a perm live. only good for a 5 door plus if you fit the whole interior noone can sit in the back and you cant really see out the back window. Well worth it though!!!!

The leather in my Eclipse went in nae bother, chuck the Granada runners away and then offer up Escort ones, i had to do a bit of drilling on the sub frames but then just bolted them in. I'm needin to wire mine up though and get the backs in!
