What is/was the most UNIQUE thing about your Ford Escort?

Sorry buddy that's the only picture I've got of the old car. That cost me a friggin fortune to build back in the day. Made it into a full gti rep. Still cost £450 for a gti interior back in those days and £200 if I remember rightly for the rear bumper and skirts :pancake:

 

I can't find a picture of my unique mod, again back in 02/03 I removed the central dash vents and replaced them with triple gauges angled towards the driver all smoothed in.

Unique about mine? Zero rust on the entire shell, no spare wheel well, and the 1978-79 signal orange colour scheme (granted, yet to be finished).

 

The the roll cage, that wont be like anyone elses, neither will the rear spolier. When they happen.

Would have to be my S1 RS turbo arches, Smoothed bumpstrips, Smoothed skirts, Smoothed spats, Smoothed front numberplate recess, Double intakes, de wipered on the rear and the wiper cut out on the spoiler filled in:
