I aint saying he has spent 37k BUT it looks like it has been done to a high standard like all the engine bay is painted and it looks like a decent paint job and the interior looks like a profesional job so wont have been cheap. HOWEVER work done to a good standard doesnt mean its tastefull and money dont buy taste and that is a twatfull car done to a high standard by the looks of it lol

i wonder at which point he thought. "my car unsymmetrical burgundy car needs a green dragon on the side of it"

should have spent the £37k on cat scans and therapy!

its had afew different looks over the years.
he bought it off a granny who bought it but didnt relise it was turbo'd.and it aparently shit the life out of her so she sold it.when he first bought it it was just 90 spec looking and looked smart.

and why is he claiming its and "escort rs turbo" in the title its a cabriolet with turbo conversion and not an RS.

£37k on that. what a waste. He should be sectioned to broadmoor for spending like that

perhaps it's just the quality of the picture, but it looks too bulky at the front and rear

i'm sure it's a ncie car underneath all the additions, but there is too much fast and furious going on
