Ad16v Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lol JC yep a couple Decided the wolfrace alloys would be too much of a pain to refurb so sold them on ebay.. near enough straight away i found a set of 5 RS2k's with tyres for half the cash i sold the wolfrace for. Always liked the RS alloys so thought why not Me and JC braved the near constant rain on thursday to change my interior to half leather and fit a new front fogged bumper with a laguna splitter and a lower lockwood grille, the old bumper proved to be a bit of a pain to remove but after a few choice words from JC it decided to come off . Thanks again bud i owe ya one! Few pics http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/IMG_0274.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/IMG_0272.jpg My mate brought his other car in today after his work one broke down so i thought i'd grab a couple of shots http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/IMG_0273.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/pedit.jpg After i've got the last few things fitted i might gloss black the gia grill and the lower lockwood but im not sure yet List of parts still to go on : SkirtsSpatsPanther door handles Panther elec mirrors Backbox After all this is sorted i will look at getting it a bit lower and after that i might do some more with the interior, maybe add some colour. I know these mods are pretty old now and have all been done before but this is a long term project and im sure it will change more as i go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Nice. I'd agree with spraying the upper grill black but leave the lockwood lower grill, that looks ok as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad16v Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Oops forgot to add some more pics >.< As JC said few updates Skirts, colour coded handles and new cone air filter all went on when JC dropped by Since then i haven't done much except a quick trip up to see escort-ross Finally rid of the pea shooter! http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/IMG_0351.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/IMG_0350.jpg Although its only a backbox im really impressed with the difference plus it will tide me over till i save for a full systemIf you need anything done i highly recommend ross btw! Sprayed my gia grille black and i really like it, gives the car a meaner look imo http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/IMG_0348.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/adwink/Ads%20Escort/IMG_0347.jpg Whats next?
