There might be just enough space to fit the fan inbetween the cooler and rad if you space the cooler a little further forward.
Here's a couple of quick pics i took earlier for ya was getting dark though, and bumper isn't 100% bolted on.

Hey, i need to ask how do you get mk4 lowered 60mm? Do you cut those -40mm springs or buy totally new springs? What kind of shocks do people use with -60mm escorts?

I have -40mm springs on my own escort and its too high for me. Next summer i will get it downnnn. But how? Maybe i cut a little from my 40mm springs? I have original lenght shocks and they dont like that -40mm springs, do they work at all with -60mm?

I tried to use search but i don't know which keywords to use I don't know all the english car terms so well

just spotted this on the bay, must be pretty rare being a 3dr auto, the PAS must have been a conversion by someone when it was new?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-ESCORT-89...item27aedd2b2a

perfect...thats a mint colour!

here is a bonus riddle.....what does the man who has a 2dr, non sunroof Bonus on RST wheels need in his life?








Yep, another one! ha ha, had seen it lying not far from me for a while so eventually spoke to owner and bought it!

Gonna take a few bits off for mine then will move it on, shell seems very good and rust free, however badly modded with bad boy bonnet, predator bumper and bonded on RST kit will get some pics up when its light

Just flipping through this. I own a 1990 Popular Plus which is shortly going to be for sale as my heart belongs to my two Ford Capri's. One is becoming a daily in may!

It needs some work (which i'll be doing) but runs great and the interior is brilliant. Only want £450.
