dutchkev Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) right, as few will know and many wont, ive been looking for another escort as i fear the focus wont make it through the next MOT, plus it had developed all sorts or problems in a very short amount of time. also i want to grace the EVO stands with a half decent looking escorts, rather than be hiden at the back with the focus so i went to look at an escort today, fell in love, and after some sweet talking from the other half, he agreed to swap the focus with the escort! its an S reg 1.8 3door Si with 114K on the clock (engine still sounds lovely), 4 owners from new in cuirass blue!! (my fave escort colour), heated front and rear screens, air con, alloys etc! arches are immaculate, as are sills, the front and rear bumper need repairing but the garage is gonna do that before i collect it on monday. only a few crappy cameraphone pics atm so forgive me! http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh56/dutchkev/Si%20progress/DSC00022.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh56/dutchkev/Si%20progress/DSC00023.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh56/dutchkev/Si%20progress/DSC00024.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh56/dutchkev/Si%20progress/DSC00025.jpg plans are:- GTi skirts - check fittedGTi spats - check fitted17" RS7's (last thing to be done when cash allows) - 15" for now - fittedRS2K interior - checkstainless system - check -fitted-30mm drop ( if i can get it up the kerb )colour code bumpstrips/handles - handles - check and thats it, nothing special. as i said, im picking it up monday (all being well) and wil get propper pics when i get her home! comments and critasisms welcome Edited March 21, 2010 by dutchkev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_2f2f Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Nice one Kev!!! --------------------------- as for you two... he clearly said in his first post why he has swapped the focus. It's developed issues and he does not think it will make it through its next M.O.T. Edited November 19, 2009 by Escort_2f2f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 looking good kev, glad you sorted one! be a damn site more nippy than the focus too!!! iv got some mondy alloys and angel eyes at mine im looking to get rid off fingers crossed you dont test the crumple zones this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchkev Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 pmsl, cheers guys - the focus was giving me more grief than i care to mention - im sick of it now, plus i want rid of the family guy image!! and ive always wanted a 3 door, so this works out ideal ross, id love the angel eyes and mondies, but unless you take payments in kit kats and curly wurlys there is no cance of me having them the escort was advertised at £700, so tbh i dont think i did that bad with the swap!
