anyway, names luke, from hastings (east sussex), work as a volentry mechanic. but always happy to take on a bit of extra paid work (boss dont care lol) and the guy i work with knows a fair bit on fords,

got hold of a escort mk4, 90 spec, 5 door, in stratos silver, 1.6 cvh, 90k miles.....

was completly standard when i got it for £70!!!! and was mot'd for 3 months, all it needed is a couple of very small bits of welding, and the sump had a leak.

custom painted rocker cover and stripped paint off oil cap and laqured it,



aftermarket fuel filler cap,




after market steering wheel(can't remember make),



bonnet raisers,



changed gear knob and handbreak,



built custom sub box for wheel well,



and a general tidy up around the car.

to be fitted:
15" vibe slick sub,
fusion nv16001 mono block,
5" dvd player,


plans by summer 2010:
zvh n/a,
