Mexico's Car History


Recommended Posts

When i first past my test i had a Chav-tastic mk6 1.6 Escort Mexico, no pic's, these car had the usual shiny things like we did with there first car.

 

Then i forgot about the whole 'a man can get a women pregnant thing'

 

So after my little boy turn'd up i had to sell that and by my Estate, it was a standard 1.6 CL,

I brought on the 12th of december 2005 by January it had been, lowered, tinted headlight's were fitted aswell as a Gonna splitter, i then went to replace the clutch, cambelt, service it and replace the brakes all round. I then change the wheels to 15 inch ripspeed jobbies with Toyo T1R aswell as changing to the front fogged bumper, with the car looking nice

i then smashed it up. I had no pic's at the time, but i killed the wheel, tyre, wishbone, droplink, driveshaft, shock, hub, front bumper (the brand new fresh from paint one!! :vangry: ), arch liner and rad cradle. Not to bad for my first real crash. I was riving like a bit of a dick down the duel carriage way late at night and a fox thought he would take a stroll out into the outsie lane, so i locked up and slap'd the car into the curb......

 

Anyway after the missus calling me allsorts,

 

I replaced everything i broke during the crash and treated myself to a nice of set of TSW Kylami's and another fogged front bumper.

I also had the Ghia grill painted the same colour as the car.

Then after i came into a bit of money ibrought my RS-7s, with no tyres, brand new from Ebay for £500, then i had to find tyres so i ordered 4 Yokohama Prada Spec 2's. i also Polybushed the car, and replaced the front shocks with G Max shocks

I then sent a load of pic's of to Fast Ford and Performance Ford

 

which got me this

I was so happy with that, i hit a post coming out of Tesco's, smashing the drivers side and door. So i had a sweet looking car on the nearside but the offside was fucked. The missus was so impressed with me :innocent:

 

Anyway off to the bodyshop it went, having a new wing and the door fixed. I also had the rear wiper smoothed over and a few dings taken out.

 

I got it back and put in for the mot and it needed a Shite load of work so i took of the springs and shocks and wheels sold them and brought some black RS2000 wheel's which i then old to Mutley, i then brought some Gti alloy wheels, then i sold the car. and brough this.

When i was not crashing my estate i bought the missus a Escort 1.4 Encore for £100

No tax but a lot of mot, a month later she killed the clutch so i fixed that and give it a bit of tlc in the shape of new cambelt and what not.

 

i then bought her a full bodykit, full G max suspension kit and new 17 inch wheels iit looked like this

I put some pic's up in the 'Show Us You Motor Section'

 

Some of you loved it most of you hated it.

 

Anyway after the missus grew to hate it, i stripped and sold it for a profit.. :drunk:

 

Then i bought her this

A mk5b Si, tottaly standard for £200 with no tax or mot,

A mot later it needed £6 to get it passed, i then lefted it at work for nearly 2 week's while i collected all manner of goodies to fit, full Polybush kit, New wheels, new suspension kit, full leather seats and a few other bit and bobs

Which now look's like this.

After splitting up with the missus i gave her the Vectra back and she wrote it off 3 days later.

 

I bought myself a mk6 3 1.8 Si, which had Rs2000 everything put on it (No pics) was nice and quick but shite on fuel, so i sold it to my old man with the Rs stuff taken off, i found myself this little weapon on the good ol Bay of E..

It was a 1.8 Td aye!!! Went really well actaully but was worse then the Si on fuel for some reason.. Anyway, i enjoyed it so much i put it into a wall at about 30mph giving way to someone when we had the first lot of snow in December. :unsure:

The Xr3i was my baby but i Fcuking hated it aswell. Everything went wrong with, resulted in the entire car being reloomed. Thankfully i spent far to much on this car i could'nt afford stanley blades or even rope. :(

 

Anyway, not really the best car to 30'000 miles a year in so i swapped it for a mk6 van.

Got bored of this within 2 months and then swapped it for Curiass Blue 5 door which i had for 2 days before letting my mum have it after her Corsa went tits up.

 

So i saved up some pennies and bought this
