Back by public demand, my new Escos
As most of you knew l broke yum for parts then bought a EVO 9
It was a great car but it cost me 22k and l started to spend money on it and really didnt want to go down that route.
So sold the EVO and bought a M3 E46 Cab on a 04 plate was great for the summer and then l got word of a old friend selling his Escos, l knew this car because in was 1 of the cars in the Clarkson shoot out about 8 years ago
So phoned lee and said l was very interested, so sold the BMW and went round to buy the Escos
The car had done 9k of miles in 11 years while Lee had owned it, Lee had spent about 15k with Mark, It has a Fitit box supplied by Mike costing 2.6k.
At Marks it had a New engine build, GT30/76, AP330 Front Kit, Leda Coil Overs, Pro Alloy Intercooler, Fans, Rad, SM4 so it had some money spent on it, also new comps wit 888's
Bad points it could do with the paint be looked at, would love to do a full respray, needed new top and bottom spoiler, also need a new pump in tank but apart from that just TLC really
He is some of the pictures of what l have been doing to it
Picture of it on the roller with 450bhp
Then l had rust on tailgate and the spoilers had bubble up a bit so got another set of spoilers

looks really good 
whatare your plans to enjoy this one as much as possible? without spending alot of money like yum??
i think 450-500bhp would be fucking great fun and be reliable
