Mk4 escort Xr3i Convertible, Converting to Efi Turbo
Heres another project! took this in part ex from my mate for my zvh combi van and its been sitting in the garage over winter waiting while i finished my house! thats all done now so its time to start cracking on with this!
Got it like that with the rs turbo wheels on it which i didnt like so i sourced a set of momo arrows and punted the rs wheels for the same price i bought the 17"s
Plans? get rid of that brutal bonnet! fit a 90 spec bumper to the front and get my brother to paint the arrows in gunmetal grey! my bird loves it so we will use it over summer and see what happens after that il get some updates up when i start it when i get back from offshore
Those momo's look well on it, really suit! Looks a decent project! Good luck with it
Cheers mate I've never had a set before and they really give it the old skool look! Wouldn't mind some diamond cut rs7's but I've already had 3 sets and not forking out silly prices again lol
two projects lol ,im not even going to start but if your going for it i have xr3i and rs turbo bonnets going spare if your needing one just give me the nod

this one isnt much of a project compared to the capri lol im just swapping bonnets,front bumper and painting the wheels but i reckon it will get other stuff done over time! what that is yet i dont know lol
Not much of an update but its getting near that time to mot the escort! i tested out my new machine polisher on the tired paintwork which brung it up really nice! fixed some annoying little problems and due to my brother recently moving house he hasnt had a chance to paint the bumper,bonnet and wheels! ive been assured it wont be long before the works done and il get it out on the road!
Well over the past few months ive been tinkering around with the escort and changed my mind on a couple of things! momo arrows were ditched for some rs7 spoke 16" wheels which were refurbished and painted by my brother! he also painted my recently purchased 90 spec front bumper and the bonnet is being painted tomorrow which was just purchased from mr harvcore off here he also kindly sold me a proper fuel cap which replaced the bucket of shit metal one lol. Im hopefully gonna get the car through for its mot this wkd and actually start using it! theres a few things il be changing along the way including a frst engine over winter and a proper spruce up underneath
Il get some pics up when i get the bonnet fitted on thursday or friday
I've already bought a set for mine now! Honna stick with them unless some rs7's turn up! Cheers anyway..
The 16" rs7 was a perfect all rounder for me! Means i dont have to modify arches and worry about scrubbing when people are in the back! They also dont look that small so for the price i paid for them im a happy chappy cant wait to get stuck in about this over winter and get all the bits underneath powdercoated!
are you sure its a tennis?
should appear as 'SE cabriolet' on logbook not just 'cabriolet'
seems strange as all tennis i ever saw were f plate and its not got tennis leather as thats leather from a 2 tone (magenta over grey usually) and the seat centres are normal 90 spec
i think its an 'all white' model which were later run out cars

As far as I'm aware the front leathers are retrimmed recaros and the rears are original! It does state on the log that it's a special but i'l confirm when they turn up in the post! I'm going to source proper front seats asvi don't like the ones already fitted! They will do for now though!
whats wrong with the front seats ?,they would be ideal for me when i get in dirty to mine ,let me know if you do sell or looking for seats as i was away to buy new 90 specs for mine as my old ones need cleaned
