Danzetec Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I've been half fancying another estate after my temporary one proved quite good for the dog and shipping stuff about. So whilst browsing ebay I came across this Autumn green finesse estate. It had been part exchanged at the ford dealership that had supplied it, 2 owners, full service history and only 58k miles from new I thought it would be the ideal replacement for the 5 door. Its got a good solid shell and pretty tidy paintwork, I couldn't turn it down and won it for only £486! http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/image1.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/image2.jpg So I've been pretty busy setting about stripping the 5 door down and building the estate up Click here for info on my previous escort The 325mm AP Racing 4-pots are finally living under my 16" Compomotive MO's http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/IMG_0043.jpg Got ST170 rear brake setup fitted and after waiting far far too long, the Spax coilovers finally arrived and I'm pretty pleased with their adjustability http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/Picture017.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/Picture020.jpg And a couple of shots with my brothers car earlier http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/Picture019.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/Picture016.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/Danzetec/Picture032.jpg I've also fitted an RS accesory spoiler for the estate, it doesn't have the screw covers on the top that fall off - Result! The interior is in and I've kept the rear badges, although they have gone a bit stealth with a coat of satin black - as have the ford badge surrounds Thats about it now styling wise, no further colour-coding and I'm keeping the orange side reps So next we are now sorting the ECU, this is BEFORE the engine goes in, so I know it will run once installed Edited November 26, 2011 by Danzetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Nice change. When is the turbo lump going in here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzetec Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys Yeah it makes life easier having the same colour Hezz, means I could just swap the stuff over and I like the colour anyway The turbo engine will be going in as soon as the other bits are ready for it but doubtful if I'll be going RSOC day at pod, especially without the turbo engine inIt may be installed for FITP but obviously I can take the car along as is, so I don't miss out Don't worry Craig, I will be getting some better photos when we aren't running out of light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
