Pelles Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 (edited) got it wednesday, polished and cleaned it all today even tho it got a full valet by monkeys, would have been easier if they left the motor to me to clean it, so much lumps of dried in polish thats like tar to come off.... its a lovely car to drive, the modding will begin shortly with some clear side repeators, then hopefully a full wings west kit with some rear american style lights and quad hella front lights which are on order shortly..... :S Edited May 15, 2003 by Pelles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escort si Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 whats the matter with your escort? i thought you just got it done up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelles Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 the engines a 2.0l pushing around 130 horses.... long story about the escort, the regular members know all about it, bodyshop took 5 months to do it, gave it back to me in a mess with around 30 things wrong with it, including every panel not matching colour, no shine etc....smoothing cracking, so the escorts been off the road since it came out the bodyshop, which was 4 months ago, so its been 9 months without my escort and still counting.... but its going back into the bodyshop on monday to get all re-done which i dont know how long it will take.

GhiaX1.8i Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 I like the focus mate I had one from work the last couple of days, was a diesel turbo estate model but went pretty well and was really nice to drive. Will be nice to see that when its modded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrio Zo Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 True, Pelles might surprise us with some mad mods that make it look completely different and even likeable! Be enough of them at FITP Sunday! Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
