Westy88 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hey, I'm new here so thought I'd introduce myself. Here's my Escort, she's my first car too! http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5298/5543824326_5612dc3545_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5543243855_643a251348_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5543820848_82b74252bb_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5292/5543823708_2b20461fc7_z.jpg Haven't got anything much planned for her yet - gonna drop it 40mm once I've found some decent wheels.. some 7 spoke RS wheels wouldn't be bad!

Westy88 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Cheers for the welcome guys. There isn't too much rust, just a few little patches but nothing serious. I'll be keeping a close eye on other people's motors to see what inspiration I can get.. do like the sound of being able to do quite a lot with little money!

fekyo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) yeah mk6 escorts are great for cheap modding, for a couple hundred maybe less you can see skirts/spats(30-50), a nice splitter(10-20), 40mm springs(50-60),front strut brace(20-30),clear indicators(10-15),color coded handles/bump strips(10-20) im sure all thats less than 200 and then maybe splash out on those rs7's and youll have a well nice looking transformed motor with spendin just over a weeks wages! little inspiration http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac132/escort22/fordpics077.jpg http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu179/roddszsoc/IMG_7706.jpg couldnt find any pics of amparo blue with rs7's sorry mate, im sure someone can find one somwhere ...

Westy88 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Nice GTI there mate! any plays for it? Well I'm getting some softline RS7s soon, so once they're on the car I can fit the Laguna splitter, ghia grille and half-tint rear lights. Once I've had payday again it'll be getting lowered 40mm!

Since my last post it's been debadged, got clear side repeaters, ghia grille, tail lights are now half tints as well as different wheels.. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5230/5628428082_4363bcc5a3_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5145/5628427186_180a03a03a_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5063/5627843945_208f9f2033_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5066/5628428740_827a586bc7_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5069/5628425856_e3d5e551cb_z.jpg I've got a Laguna splitter to go on in the next few days and then it'll be getting a 40mm lowering springs next month!
