Not sure if these have been posted on here before :

 

Its mint, but I'm still not convinced with them. I saw a pic a while back of the carbon inlet after it came off Stian's, f*cked up!

 

Looks stunning and ive heard about the faliures on the escos your talking about

 

Thanks guys for all the comments on the inlet,
Some bad news i got due to my work with dust and welded and so on over the years has bought back a medical problem i had before which with the great news from the doc is going to leave unable to finish this myself,And the option of sending it to get it finished is going to cost alot so i have alot to think about

 

F*CK!!!!!!

So sorry to hear that. Its an awesome build, hands down, but not worth your health. On the plus side, Paul @ NYRS Spares will probably buy it though, he'd be daft not to

Whatever you decide, hope its good for your health

 

look after ya health is number one. Be really nice if you could get a few guys on the project so it can continue, make it a group project. If you sell it on i really hope who ever gets its finishes it to the standard you have done already, Get well soon.

 

Sorry to hear bout that mate.This is one of my favorite builds on passion ford and you have put so much time and dedication into the car in my opinion i would keep it and save the cash up for someone to build it for you to the spec you wanted GET WELL SOON mate.

 

Get well soon! Makes me think of wearing a mask more when I grind. I really want to see this finished!

 

Sorry to here about your health

Always look forward to your updates

Hope you get to finish the car with or with out help

 

Thanks guys for the good comments i will be working a way to finish the car,And im still buying bits so its all good,
Also got one set of my new rims today so it made me happy.

 

What wheels are they mate? they look like the ones the Maxi's used to run.

Wouldn't mind some of them for mine.

 

Nice looking wheel
What size are they ?

 

Original wheels are Cromodoras

Magnesium like these ones (Mine on Pauls car)




Those new ones are a new version made by Compomotive in aluminum following a group buy on Escos.com. They are 8x18.

All of first batch are sold, and they do them in 60 wheel batchs(how they do the Montes )

 

Very nice mate


Wheres the other set

 

Gotta love the Cromodora's, so glad you guys pushed for Comp to replicate them. RL7's next hopefully!

Good man for continuing with the car, your health is your health, so I doubt anyone would be critical of you if you ever decided to call it a day. Glad you didn't though

 

get well soon mate,hopefullly see this finished

 

Glad to here your going to try and finish this car very nice wheels

 

Thanks guys,

 

Dunno mate courier only had 5 and Docket from comp is for 5 not 10 so hope there is know mistake made i will find out tuesday,

 

them wheels are pure sex i hope ur health is better mate

 

Lovely wheels

Suit the escos very well, especially the look your going for

 

I like the inlet , but the one on that blue escort cosworth failed but it maybe ok if it has a blow back valve , but still looks the tits

 

.


Those wheels are fecking awesome



Ginger

 

The other set is on its way ower north sea, well i just dream of it lo.
Hope the best for your healt and build next year mate

 

nice very nice

 

Those wheels look like great. Am I right in thinking that their centre cap design is slightly different from the originals?

 

I just want to echo what has already been said:

It's one of the few threads on here that I keep an interest in. Top Effort so far.
All the best with your health.
Those comps look awesome!
Hope you can be fit enough to finish the build AND enjoy the car.

 

Thanks Geir mate,

If you mean the cap on the cromodora as to the comp fmv1880 rims i have, the wrc rim had know caps but i took the compomotive chrome cap just for show, with the cap out there the exact same as compomotive moulded these from a genuine 8x18 cromodora rim.
Thanks mate glad to see guys interested in the car,It will be finished and driving i have had alot of mates down that are going to help me out and one mate is going to help me out big time with it so it should mean all going well that there will be 2 wrc escos hitting irish roads in late 2012

 

Stunning wheels. I'd love a set of them!

 

Thanks mate ya the rims are stunning can't wait to get them on when the car is finished but till then they will have to sit in the box there last outing till then lol...

Nah mate, the wheels need to be remade, they're awesome. My puma could do with a set too

 

I used to have a set of genuine Magnesium Cromodora Foss but never fitted them to my 3 Door went for my 17" old skool 5 spoke comps instead.
