Thought i'd share my intentions with you guys (and girls), maybe I need pointing in the right direction? :P

Just a bog standard Escort 1.6 Finesse in an unknown shade of green (The colour code is H something, which is apparently a blue?!). She's rusting quite nastily under the rear arches and apparently on the front jacking points too, but it's my pride and joy (first car!) and I want to make it a little more respectable!!

Here it is in all its glory!


My plans are:

- GTI skirts and spats, colour coded of course.
- Mondeo Escos style alloys on lower profile tyres
- Colour code side bump strips
- Clean up previous attempts at touch up (They used a paintbrush...)
- Front splitter (Laguna style, if possible)
- Lower springs 40 or 60mm, whichever looks better.
- Anything to stiffen car up as i'll only be able to afford springs, not coileys...
- Air filter and any other cheap performance hop-ups.
- GTI front seats, or anything with a bit more bolster support.
- Laquer front bumper again (It looks too matte?)
- And an exhaust that doesn't look like a pea-shooter (or a dustbin)

Here's a very crude photoshop WIP:



It's no Escos or RS, but one day I'll own one - living down the road from Boreham Test Track has given me a bit of a hunger for fast Fords

Autumn Green, lovely colour as showed here by the rear end of my car



plans sound good!

Hah!

Lovely car mate, pretty much exactly what I'm aiming for, bar the alloys!
