K3V HA Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Just after Christmas, i decided to take my mini off the road and restore her, so needed a run about. By chance someone i know was getting a new car and was just gonna px their S plate 1.6 lx escort that they've had since new so i said ill take it off ya hands for a few hundred quid, anyhow, it needed couple of lower arms and new exhaust so he gave it me. After running on 5 spoke wheel trims for about 5 weeks i found these little beautys for a bargain on flea bay. Ill be lowering her and repainting her in the next few weeks along with repainting the alloys too. How she looked on the trims http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/K3VHALL/IMG00130-20090327-1614.jpgWithout trimshttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/K3VHALL/IMG00131-20090327-1614.jpgAs of last night: 17inch Momo Arrows, with New Pirelli PZero 225/35 tyres onhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/K3VHALL/IMG00132-20090327-1739.jpg Not bad for a motor thats cost me:Exhaust system £35Lower Arms £30Wheels & Tyres £105 ( )Paint coming soon free lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Even the wheels were a bargain! U have a good mate there. My dad had momo arrows in 15 on his mazda 323 back in the mid nineties.They really suit the escort there, just needs to be lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err yeah, will be lowered 40mm when i can be bothered, 225 dont mean Shite, everyone said i wouldnt be able to fit 18's on a lowered escort without arch rolling 5 years ago....and i did!! Ian, paint was kept lovely for ages as i knew him from when i was like 13, but past few years he got bored and just ran it to work and to take dog in! Couldnt believe i got them so cheap, made sure if fetched them next day so he didint change his mind lmao.
