Default modifying my low miles mallard Escos

Here is my lovely old Saff that I sold and bought a Golf GTI to run around in and some other bits and pieces...



This was how my Escos used to be



before I took it off the road and tucked it away for a year



Then a few months ago I took it to pieces to fit lots of new parts with the help of fellow Passionforder Adzbelcher, thats him doing all the hard work



He worked so hard his head came off



This was a horrible job (removing old struts and springs)



This was where we assembled everything prior to fitting it back on




6 pots, 19's and Koni's all on



And this is what it looks like today



Cheers for your help Ad

Mat

it keeps the car dust and moisture free, it uses carbon filters to clean the air before it enters and keeps out any pollutants,it isn't much more expensive than a really top notch car cover and you dont have to change it when you get a new car too

Will post some of the engine up soon, its a work in progress at the moment, will be getting new header tank and plenum and other metal parts are being powder coated silver again as they look a bit tatty
