from a dealership and in died 2 day's later due to a warped(sp?) head that they'd bodge fixed, so i took it back and made them replace it for a recon one but i had alsort's of other problem's with, would be here alnight listing them!wasn't all bad though, i managed to sell it for £100 more than i paid for it, even though i'd managed to crack the back bumper trying to remove ithere's a front on

escortlew Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Silver escort with black bonnet looked a minter!!! why did you get rid off it?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 yeh that was my favorite car, even liked it more than my current escort project but unfortunetly rust had taken over the underside(just after i'd had the rear arch's and filla cap surround sorted) was going to have it converted to rwd and cossy powerd, which would of got over the rust problem, but my mrs told me she was pregnant so gave up with that idea and just got a sierra cosworth lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortlew Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Seemed such a nice car to chuck away!! rwd escort sounds the way forward your black one coming along nicely though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 fair to say you like the odd escort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 rwd escort is still in the pipeline want to see if i can get 180mph out of the fwd setup it's got atm as that's what the gearbox was setup to do, once i'v done that, the zetec engine that's in there will be having a complete overhaul to hopfully get 500 horse's out of it and then the rwd plan will hopfully happen but i'll be needing alot of custom part's to pull it off, so may be a while befour it goes ahead fair to say you like the odd escort! oh yeh, even if i had all the money in the world i'd still have to own an escort, alway's loved them from as far back as i can remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
