Default Nasty mk4 escort green?

A mate of mine used to own an E reg Mk4 Escort 1.4 Ghia in a nasty green colour, it was as special as it sounds

I was wondering wether anybody knows what the shitty green was called


I know shitty green isnt a very good description lol

also LOVE how the fibresports bumper has a special " air vent" below the headlamps,,,,,, guess they got confused and made there escos replica bumpers to sag to help look genuine,,,,,, but forgot its saph cos bumpers that sag in the middle

fibresports,,,,,,,,,, perfect fitment with the help of a few self tapping screws here and there

Smit, I can't believe you're 18yrs old there mate?! Seriously?

Love the venoms though, wanted some soooo badly when they came out!! They're proper retro, not cool retro... the sort of retro that should be left in the past.


Cheers,
Grant

That was my younger brother in the picture not me

It was a long time coming getting the car right, and at the time it was awesome! Looking back now (venoms/Illusion kit etc) i kinda shake my head when i look but at the time it rocked.

here's the day it was finished.

Smit- No forgiving you for trying to hide the 5 door with shaving the handles.....bet that cost more than a 3 door shell.

We all have modding monsters in our closets though.....and I spy a Dimma cap!!! Flashback! I had one on my Mk4, remember thinking it looked the bollocks, as i stuck it on

Seen it??


I sent those fuckers around the offiice and watched him DIE in his seat, with one very read face!

Hahaha, wicked stitch up.

We were all saying "eeeewww, dunno about that brake light"

"ahhh man, what a shed, how many exhuasts"

"haha, check the wheels"

and he was ignoring it, his ears pricked up and when he twigged he just slunk down in his seat! PMSL

We all have 'em, but the Maxo was a beaut.

the car has SUCH a funny story too,,,,, well not for simon

remember his black fiesta, well that was a "quick project" whilst the saxo was being "created",,,,,, he wasnt into fast cars as saxos have MUCH better handling on track blah blah blah,,,,,,,, anyway in the time it took the saxo to be made,,,,, the car had 6 engines, convtered to 16v,,,, broken for parts, bought a XE engined Nova ( most fun car i have ever driven !!! ),bought a BMW 325i and sold to me, converted ANOTHER saxo to run a peugeot XSI engine,,,, had a corsa with a XE lump,,, bought a cossie,,,, broke the cossie for parts and started on ANOTHER fiesta......

then it was finished,,,, but Simon was no longer a kid in Uni and erm...... well he NEVER drove it for fear of cracking filler

though some fucking how he sold the car

the WORST thing is our other mate STILL owns the orion version of the saxo,,, and has the fiestas old engine too which looks bad,, till you see his 2 brothers cars

cant wait for simon to do a mag feature on the "lambo door" Ford Capri with cossie rear wing and bad boy bonnet !!!,,,,,, infact i cant see why he hasnt done it yet if im honest !!!

im sure the orion is also available for a mag feature too,,,,,,, but be quick as the filler will start cracking soon and dont wanna wait till " bad boy boots" are all comon

Like i said when i was 21 it was a very flash car to have! It also had a turbo engine when it was finished

Wanted to try and give it the 3 door look but at the end of the day i got a 4 door car because i wanted a 4 door car... Benn off here had a red one with a rattlesnake kit, we were a couple

ended up with an engne fire, scrapped and got the cossie. Nearly 10 years ago now, how time flies!
