i have just swapped my corsa on new years day for a ford escort with stembo off here
its a m reg escort 1.4i azura with 36600 miles on the clock.
it has been parked for 5 years, so the paint work was very flat.
so the plans are budget rs2000 look a like
at the minute its sat on my saphs revvies till i find some rims for it


flat paint


partley t cutted




then front bumper off

then these headlights out

and these in

then rs2000 front bumper

ive also machine polished it today but no pics till tomorrow

 

what a beast lol

 

that looks like underneath that dirt its in good nick
strut tops gleam and the engine looks new :L

 

Shell looks nice and clean, should look good with the RS2000 kit on.

Would love something similar with a Fezzy Turbo lump in it

 

Blimey you dont hang about

 

nice little project keep up the good work

 

that must be a compliment knowing how fast you work

 

How well did that T-Cut work!?!?!

 

looking good mate

 

starting to look good the paint work and use autogylm super resin polish after you t-cut the car

 

i will be using red colour magic as it did a great job on my old golf and i still have half a bottle left

small update
bought some rs 2000 rims tonight for Ł50 for 5
and ive also just received delivery of a set of 4 nankang tyres which were Ł99
pics of them fitted tomorrow

 

I looked at the rims n though 'wtf, hes paid for them to go on that?!' Then read they're off your saff

Looks very good, T-cutting must have taken ages to come up that well!

 

4 tyres for Ł99!! No wonder their called nankang Ditchfinders Paintwork has come up a treat Micky

 

yer but they are going on a 1.4 run around so it dont matter

 

nice clean starting point, looks wicked on them wheels

 

fuck me that t cut worked very well lol
will look quite nice when all done

 

here is a pic of it from a few days ago, you can see the paintwork looks a lot better



and from today with the rs 2000 wheels on

 

looks alright for a run about mate

 

 

looks great

 

It looks good.Need more pics.

 

will do when i get chance to clean it all propperly
im still looking for a back bumper and skirts for it as well

 

boot lid changed because of bad paintwork and it was cheaper to swap the boot than paint it and then i fitted a rear spoiler

 

ive fitted a set of xr3i clocks today plugged straight in and worked
although the rev counter is reading twice what is should be



i also fitted a bumper strip as i was missing it and i had a sierra rubber splitter kicking about so i tried that as well



and tomorrow im off to finish removing the electric window/central locking parts i need from my donor car

 

body work has cleaned up well, slowly getting there mate

 

sweet, but why you removed the revvies wheels, they look much better!

 

they were only borrowed off my saph cosworth, as when i got this car it had no wheels at all.

 

cleaned up nice mate good work

 

Looking good

 

I thought the rev counter would have worked ok in this!

That's a bugger, means my plans to fit some Zetec clocks to my little CVH 'scort could be in trouble

 

T cut has done it the world of good, keep up the good work

 

Looking good
