Default FINISHED - Mk3 Escort Cosworth

Hi all,

As requested in a previous thread, ive done pics of my Mk3 Escort so far.

When I did the RS1600i in Arctic Blue, I was left with the left over Escort.

So, striped with nitromors and primed, here we are.



After a little filling with the Milliput. Still needs sanding down but ive only done it an hour or so ago.





Need a decal for the filler cap as I couldnt get it out so nirtomors'd it & a body kit. Have some nice chrome weels to go on it already.

Have already selected a colour, but will wait & see if it suits the car before showing it.

Andy

This is how it looks at the moment, fully painted & laquered with it just resting on the 2 wheels. Painted the brakes silver with Colorado Red calipers.



When you open the drivers door, it does catch the wing a little & have chiped off a little paint back to metal. Still have a little paint to touch it up tho & its not on the display side anyway.

Just need another set of front & rear lights (chrome inners & plastic outers).

Its all finished

Paint is Ford Morello from the new Fiesta.

Body mods are smoothed holes left from RS1600i bumpers & wing + the fuel cap .

Mods are flocked seats, Escort Cosworth engine, s/s exhaust, lightly tinted lights front & rear (chrome bit painted black), chrome wheels & drilled brakes with red calipers. Also a boot build, black flocked with 2 subs & amp.

Too much hassle painting the engine bay & ive not got any paint left. Only used a little 150ml can.

If the car came in a box, it lives in a box. Ive not got any cabinates and it keeps them nice and dust free. Saying that, ive not got any room to display it either, have loads in the loft.
