Timmy C Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Heres a few pics of the old escort for you all. Its been a good while since she's been on the road and since I've been on here but we are both very much alive again. May even make it to a few shows next year... http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o139/timmy_c_photos/Top%20Cat%20mobile/DSCF3843.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o139/timmy_c_photos/Top%20Cat%20mobile/DSCF3813.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o139/timmy_c_photos/Top%20Cat%20mobile/DSCF3816.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o139/timmy_c_photos/Top%20Cat%20mobile/DSCF3824.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o139/timmy_c_photos/Top%20Cat%20mobile/DSCF3821.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o139/timmy_c_photos/Top%20Cat%20mobile/DSCF3826.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o139/timmy_c_photos/Top%20Cat%20mobile/DSCF3837.jpg Still to do: Cosworth front brakesBike throttle body conversionAlmost there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoo2000 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Timmy, Long time no speak! It's good to see that you've still got her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy C Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 i remember it, whys it been off the road so long? High insurance premiums mainly, it's also taken loads of fiddling to get wheels with such a large offset to work. Worth it though, grips like it's on rails. I've been trying to figure out what to do about the mirrors, I don't like them either but the smothed in base plates and lack of indicators on the wings make options limited, keen for sugestions though.

shawdreamer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I've been trying to figure out what to do about the mirrors, I don't like them either but the smothed in base plates and lack of indicators on the wings make options limited, keen for sugestions though. Fibre wrap the two legs with fine qaulity fibre glass and and good qaulity resin, effectively making the two into one single blade like leg, bit of plastic finishing filler to smooth the lines and the transformation is quite remarkable...... from chavtastic to subtly stylish. Wish Id took some photo's when I did the brother in laws genuine M3 mirrors a couple of years back. Turned out so nice that he asked me to do both and put em back on the car to when selling it (he hated them on his M-sport and handed them to me to "see If I could make something out of them")..... I only did it as a half arsed experiment and I was pretty impressed how much improved they looked afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy C Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'm thinking of selling the old trusty escort, still has only just over 50k on the clock and just 30k on the engine, if anyone's interested drop me a message. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
