Default My escort, and the changes its gone through MORE ADDED

the day i picked it up



first thing i did was but small front number plate on,




then i put standard lights back in, along with rs500 grills

(only pic i have of it like that) at York dragstrip





then she got lowered, cobra springs, koni adjustables



this is 20 mins after they were fitted


and after they settled, sits like this, IMO perfect



then, time for bufty

from this

to this


then, time for more power
stage 3 and intercooler fitted



and this is how she looks now
on the way back from being on trak on trax


few things are changing, soon...

will keep you all posted and thanks for reading
