Escort XR to RST Replica Project UPDATE (SPOILER)01/04/07
 
Hi all back AGAIN with a story to tell lol,

I was working about 20 miles away last week when i saw this little beauty for sale at the side of the road but couldn't tell what the signs read so the boss and me stopped for a nosy when a middle aged chap came out,

He got the keys for me then went on to tell me how it was his wife's car and that she was the 3rd owner and the previous 2 were also ladies!!!

So i had a good look over it and found the usual battery tray and fuse box panel wanted doing also the back of the outer sills too,

Not put off we carried on chatting and he said he'd just bought his wife a new car and she only stopped using this one 3 days before and there was only a month mot left,

Then he said with that in mind he only wanted £100 for it!!! So the deal was done i'd got myself a genuine 3 lady owner 90 spec xr3i with a genuine 98,000 miles and a shit load of receipts and full service history for £100!!!! I was stunned to say the least,

So only other bits were a couple of out of control stone chips a little bit on nearside rear arch and a blowing back box, Jobs a good un me thinks,

Anyway time for some pics look out for updates soon,

Hi all been a bit busy this weekend so here's some updates,

Right given the car a damn good jet wash today also got a few new bits,

I've put my white 17 inch soft spoke rs7's on

I've got a k + n air filter courtesy of my rs 2000

Last but not least i have a back box that a mate gave me as the standard one was blowing BUT dont shoot me down all at once it's a Peco big bore 4 :cry: :cry: :cry: but it looks better than standard and sounds better than standard and most importantly it was fre lol,

On a serious note anyone got any ideas on wheel choice other than diamond cut rs 7's??? cheers, Grant :top:
