mexico_16v Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 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, http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/Picture084.jpgI 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!! ), 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. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/CIMG0877.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/CIMG0906.jpgI 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 http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/102_1185.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/102_1183.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/102_1181.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/caransaddle032.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/102_1180.jpg I then sent a load of pic's of to Fast Ford and Performance Ford which got me thishttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/7417.jpg 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 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. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/eBay007.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/eBay009.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/eBay006.jpg When i was not crashing my estate i bought the missus a Escort 1.4 Encore for £100No 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 http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/CIMG0899.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/CIMG0903.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/CIMG0904.jpg 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.. 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 bobsWhich now look's like this.http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/Dirt175.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/eBay021.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/eBay022.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/ducks009.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/ducks010.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/ducks011.jpgI also trial fitted my RS-7s.http://http//i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/thomas123-1.jpgWhich looked smahing.

mexico_16v Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Update time. 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.. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/16112009048.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/15112009037.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/16112009047.jpg 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. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/14122009093.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/11012010220.jpg Doing that made me finish me project car a lot sooner then i wanted to That was a mk5 Xr3i Cosworth rep (wreck) which ever..When i bought it.http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/Rep1.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/rep2.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/rep8.jpgFinishedhttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/03102009002.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/06012010124.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/06012010125.jpgThe 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. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/IMG_0771.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/IMG_0772.jpg 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 thishttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/IMG_0872.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/IMG_0873.jpgOne photo of me in full Homo/Hairdresser mode.http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/IMG_0881.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I really don't think you should change much/anything on the cabby, I even think a fogged bumper would look shite on that, it looks good just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
