escortjas Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 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.

dutchkev Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 someone actually following through on a thread rather than dreaming it up and never getting it done - i like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewsalter Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) 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?

protouring mk6 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 as the car will be a daily driver keeping engine as is but for a four branch and a good tidy up.want to take it to a few shows this year so the idea is to have it super clean but not an out and out show car.

MarkyMark Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Spot on, about time we had an interesting project thread to read, looking forward to the end result, any clues on colour scheme?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHTOWER Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 This is gonna be a daily drive?! OUCH! That's gonna be fun! 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?

protouring mk6 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Your estate has a thread on here somewhere lol Been on ebay several times recently, not looking in great shape either. Had a quick flick through the pictures on your myspace. Some of the paintwork is impressive, do you do all that side of it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
