  1. I left my Escort in a garage for 10 years, it went a bit rusty. So I've bought another...
  2. Not a fan of that kind of scoop normally but i like that! Bonnet and bumper lines match and look good aswell
  3. Thanks for all the comments, appreciate it. I cant make FordFair this year, but ill be going to a few shows hopefully abit later this year and i'll keep an eye out on here Nah m8, took well too much time really, and its not the best finish tbh Yeah i've still got the seats... the cheap ones loads of people sell on ebay right? I was surprised how comfy they were actually, considering how cheap they were. Look pretty good in black aswell, the fabric ones stretch abit after a while where your arse goes, dont think the 'leather' ones would do that though. Still not polished but here's another..... http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00018-1.jpg
  4. Finally got around to spraying it couple of weeks ago, ended up doing it myself so i'm pretty happy with the results so far but still needs a good poilsh and buff up. Colours metallic imperial blue with pearl in it, looks abit purple from some angles and in darker light. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00704_ZOOM.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00669.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00684.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00713.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00709.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00691.jpg
  5. Thanks for all the comments, appreciated! That shot with the bib was just so i could get an idea of what it looked like so has just been loosely clamped on, which is why it looks abit poor and 'wavey', i've got hockey sticks and further lower spoiler to go with it if i do give in to practicality and wack it on.... Fibreglass repairs prob wouldnt be far off after though Just switches im afraid...from left to right... Amp/powercap - Morrette spots - Cossie fogs - footwell neons - boot build neons - Led's in rear lghts - Extra sidelights (in original indicators) - Sunvisor screens Still got the blue leds, but i cant remember the last time i used them, nice from some angles but attracts the wrong kind of attention. In my defence though they dont photograph well. I like it both with the bib and without, alot more with but just aint practicle really. Yeah i've thought about putting standard rears bk on... prob will one day, especially as the lexarse ones leak... I looked at your colour coded indicators a long time ago and thought ummmm i like that.... not to sure if it goes as well on the non rs/xr morrettes though which mine are so i havnt done that yet... another possibility though Dont think white is the best colour for that either, imperial blue and ill def do it. If someone could be kind enough to photoshop the splitter black and colour code the indicators that would be much appreciated!! Mk6 mirrows iv thought about aswell, probably wont go down that road yet, but one day as the m3 mirrow shape aint exactly deisgned for the escort and do seem to stick out abit. I wasn't sure at first either, took me along time thinking about it before i actually done it. It doesnt look as lairy and as in your face in real life, as the gloss finish is alot shinier than made out to be in the pics. If the car goes imperial blue, so will that, if it stays white, eventually ill spray it gloss black instead. Ive actually got an edited pic with the spiltter black, IMO looked alot better, especially with the tinted fogs & sunstrip Still to do.... (im bound to miss things off here) Front wing vents Full respray change number plate position to just above current position but on the bumper and get a smaller one, runs abit hotter in summer with it how it is atm new sound system RS2000 engine/rear disk beam/ diff front brakes. Rear strut brace (although iv been told not to expect as much of a gain compared to the front one fitted) twin exhaust ermmm.... and prob more.... who knows .....
  6. Few newer pics..... http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00523.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00456_smaller.jpg Cant really leave the splitter on as its just not practicle as a daily driver http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00524.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00527.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00532.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00496.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/pritcand/DSC00521.jpg Still mostly in primer but getting sprayed properly soon...
  7. Its getting there! Does look pretty mean from the front, was a shame i didnt get the xr/rs morette's. but these came up for sale 10 mins down the road from me for £120 & just been spayed white so i couldnt resist, and his next door neighbour was breaking a white RS2000, which is where i got the bonnet from so that was lucky! Looking forward to getting the bumper lights in now, but just havn't have time yet
  8. Yea i love it looking mean! The blue ones? lol Took ages to get everything to line up, glad its apprciated Ive decided now that im def going to keep it white
  9. Yea i would of, but these came up for sale 10 mins down the road to me £120 just been sprayed, couldnt resist. The bib would just make it too low, i agree would prob look alot better with it though! But just not practical for daily use... Thanks, hopefully get the few bits done soon then spraying time Their Kei Racing Force 10's 17x7', Hyper Silver which makes em shine like a beauty when clean. I do like them, but again these were off a mate and cheap... hopefully ill get some black 18/19's with a polished lip... one day.
  10. Agreed, i think black lexus lights would have looked better, especially with the black/silver plates Angel's look gd against the silver
  11. Bargain! They the ones in your sig pic? Yea, Probably keeping it diamond white, might poss go Gloss Black but white's easier to keep and as its my daily driver... Yea cant wait, i have got both splitter's and hockey sticks, but it'll be just too low!!, i still have to navigate speed bumps, although their no problem atm its just the ~ parts of faster roads that are abit of a problem, rear springs just dont seem stiff enough What's OEM Stand for?? Thanks for all the comments appreciating just how much work really goes into this kind of stuff! Did think about going with the two tone for the respray, but just didnt think it would look right?! Anychance anyone can Photoshop one of that last pic, i'd do it myself but abit tricky without Photoshop
  12. Nope Yeah i knew this would be the case, considered cossie rims but i do like it now how it is, looked poor without the drop and 32mm spacers though. I've got my eye on a set of Wolfrace Shark alloys (19 x 9.5), Google that ! But at nearly 1k ill prob think again
  13. I did like the two tone, as said its pretty rare to see one, espcially in good nick, but it was never really enough for me. It took so much time and efforrt to make it fit properly, thats what took all the time... even petrol cap... made wheel arch liners to fit the front, not one bit of the kit was the right size (apart from the spoiler, but even that could have been better) as seen in the pics skirts wern't long enough. Just lowered it last weekend, -35mm all round, then a coil off the front ones to make them about -60mm It rubs on the back at the mo, so next job is trimming a bit of fibreglass in the arch Nope, Kit from styling FX, well front bumper and sides/archs, dissapointed with their efforts tbh

Then eventually RS2000 lump/brakes etc
