protouring mk6

Recommended Posts

When i saw your name and the rim size i immedeately thought of the 90's supertouring mondeo's and primera's etc....

 

Then i saw the rims and realised this is an altogether different thing, still, with the amount of work thats gone into it so far i'm interested to see how this turns out.

I take it that by the mods you have done (tubbing the arches and the boot recess) that you are into the american car/hotrod/funny car thing?

Going to look good with those 20s under them rear arches.

Also what are you doing engine wise?

This is gonna be a daily drive?! OUCH! That's gonna be fun! :roll:

 

I take it this is your line of work, and that this car is gonna be an advert for you?

 

A little tip with the bonnet vents, try to divert water away from the rocker cover, otherwise rain water will drip in, get past the HT leads that aren't all that well sealed, and then the water will fill up the spark plug holes for it to eventually start missfiring! Hear about it a fair bit with zetec driven cossie reps...

 

Looking forward to seeing more progress... I take it this has been on-going for a while already, and you've not done all that in one day?

started the rebuild over christmas,trying to complete by end of march.reason being our other escort is dying.had a few escorts now,mk4,mk4 pick up, mk5 estate,mk6 van,mk6 4 door and now this mk6 gti.most of them have all been fairly extreme.old mk4 made it in revs magazine and mk5 estate was at ford fair in 2003 and is pictured on the ford fair gallery for that year.the van now lives down south.yes the car will be a rolling advert for what i can do and will try to get to as many shows as possible,ford fair being the main one.dont want the paint to over power the whats been done to the car so not going to bonkers with it.for some of the stuff i have done in the past go on to www.myspace/blacktopcustomsuk.com
