Default W.I.P Escort Mk3 FINISHED PICS

Started on this Mk3 Escort a few days ago.Still a fair bit to do but i had a mishap with the drill so it's set me back but it gives the idea of what im looking for.
Interior stripped to fit single bucket/harness along with a Sparco steering wheel & Focus rally gear shift & pedals.

My fav part so far the deep dish Ronal Turbo rims

I had to carefully get the ride height right as it was so low the base of model was sitting on the ground & the tyres were raised off the floor

Then this is the fook up,drilled two holes to exit tailpipes & drill bit snagged ripping off doors & tailgate

So may try again with a slower speed drill or get a new model & start again.

It may repair,the scuffs on both doors may polish out,but the tailgate might be tricky to put right though,would like it if the tailpipe holes come right when i next try.

thats a good idea mate,really like the exhaust's but same you dropped it,im sure we all have dropped afew models in our time,worse when you've painted it tho
if you do desided on getting a new car i would be interested in this for parts as ive got afew cars with crap windows,need a light for another & the doors would go on my pick up as it was a cab,let me kno mate.

loving that mate, splitter is cool, simple and sweet, looks like a golf vr6 one

try black fablon for the bonnet, with a bit of time it does the job alright, not permanent though. i covered my sierra in white fablon a while back to see what it'd look like painted and looked alright for a temp thing, should last on a bonnet though
