Default My Escort Mk2 Estate

Well i got this and thought i would make a kit for it, so i did, i wasn't very happy with it tho as the ride height was to high, so i stuck, the wheels right in the arches, this made it lower but made the arches stick out like a sore thumb, after 4 months ive decided to make an estate, the extended bit on the back is of a donor mk3 escort, the boot wont be opening tho, its also gona have smoothed door handles.
This is the progress so far on it.
ya see what i mean bout the wheels.


but this is the estate.
