Few weeks ago i bought a m reg escort, completely stripped, 2 seats, 5" backbox, evo spoiler, 10 year old paintjob etc, pics from advert:





When home:



Pics made it look loads better than it was, boot wouldnt open or passenger door so new locks, key and mechanisms.

 

Pic of front:



Dont even know where to start, there was no brakes so ordered some 300mm ST170 drilled and grooved discs and picked up some mondeo mk3 calipers.

Stripped front down and realised everything was fucked lol, ordered, new steering rack gaiters, track rod ends, drop links, arb bushes, arb bracket, both driveshafts, wishbones.

Also picked up 30mm shocks and springs from a mk5 fiesta zetec s.

240mm vs 300mm:

 

Converting the fiesta strut top to escort:



Strut finished and painted:



Before it all started:

 

Arb bushes:



track rods:



Most of it done:

 

Rear shocks springs were more complicated, had to cut top half of thread off and attach the eyelet thing from top of escort shock and then put mixture of fiesta and escort together

Rear springs:



All fitted and undersealed:

 

After being on stands for what felt like forever i finally got it down on again,

New Wheels, lowered etc:



If u look closely u can see new brake setup on front

 

New bonnet without rs2000 bulges:



Cossie grille:

 

Started on the floorpan:

 

As it came with nothing was a big moment finally putting a carpet and seats in lol:

 

Cool project. Are they mk5 fiesta zetec s seats.

 

Nice project, 90's fords now need saving

 

Thanks, yeah had quite a few issues trying to sort an interior as seats that were in it were fixed in place buckets and harnesses so no front or rear seatbelts etc and could only find 5dr escorts in scrappy so using a 5dr rear seat and mounts and seatbelts, and mk5 fiesta front seatbelts and seats as found the 5dr escort seats didnt fit in the front

 

Thanks, seems they all need loads of work from the threads on here lol

 

looks like you got a good wee project on your hands here

keep at it

 

Not updated for a couple of days but this is quite a big update for me, this will give away my plans with this car but heres the pics,








Genuine lower cossie spoiler and replica top half. Needs a few bits sorted but so happy i finally got one as ive been looking for weeks for one that someone would post. Only sat roughly in place so i could get pics. Rear wiper must need removed? as its in the road at the moment. Should cover up all the holes left from the evo spoiler.


will do

 

 

Just a quick update, tried mk5 rear lights up thinking they might bolt in place and then just modify the rest to suit but they dont fit so wont be that easy lol

Bought these today:









Theyre from a wide arch 206 gti, whole wing is fibreglass will hopefully fit with a bit of work
