Default silver bonus project

this is my escort bonus project, it was running a turbo engine. that was until i blew it up. im now going 1.8 zetec, the engine is from a 2i. i have a green one to run around in but i still miss the smile it put on my face so got to get it back on the road.

would look better if you put a standard bonnet on the green 4dr and lowerd it...

also put the silver mk4 back to standard with the zetec lump!

imo!

remove carpets and other non essentual items (meaning most of it) very suprized to find some very good floors having only 1 bit of welding in the past. the zetec will not be standard as soon as funds allow it will get lightened and balanced etc. and the car will be as light as possible. and yes i am thinking of changing them bumpers.




thanks for the comments guys
