1. get rid of the tow bar, unless your going to be using it, if so tidy it up!
2. get some decent alloys - preferably black
3. give it a good tidy etc
4. replace the missing fog light in the front bumper
5. get a normal bonnet
6. paint the grill black to match wheels
thats what i would do if it was mine

oh and mk3_escort, don't really think theres any need to act a twat, was only saying what i think to it, it will be good when its tidyed up, but saying my car is shit and you havn't even seen it WTF lol
conor, when are you going to start working on it mate? when you get the money etc or has work already started
there you go, take the piss as much as you want, totally standard car, can only just about afford insurance, tax, diesel, etc so can't mod it, but isn't a bad car to say i was given it
oh and another thing, have no idea why the pics are so small ?

I didn't call your car shit, I wanted to see some pics of it so I could call it shit, I got my microscope out saw the pics and was physically sick, i'd rather push that van than drive your car.
Take care

Hi mate,van looks fine as a base,but it's either on a private plate or had the mk7 front end put on it as it's L reg,looks like they left the mk6 interior in as well so I'm assuming a conversion on the front end.I'd totally agree with the turbo diesel route,you could probably buy an mot faliure straight for Ł200 quid.always liked them on softspokes myself or even polished rs2k mk6 rims.worlds your oyster on this one mate.

Im sorry your poor and cant afford your own car and I'm sorry I misread every post of yours slating this guy's van when you were actually being constructive.

and at first I thought it was shite, but looking at it and after a bit of thought i reckon it will be nice, if you dont no conor, he normally lies ( so it seems ) but im pretty sure this is genuine, so iv got a lot more respect for him now, and you were physically sick? i'd get your self down to the doctors mate, why not set off now, you might get there tomorow in your mutilcoloured escort
