Team009 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/396898_10150486646892551_735812550_9030097_1281199085_n.jpg This is our pride and joy, or she will be anyway!! We have bought this little baby to use for the Banger Run '12, raising money for Help for Heroes. She went in for her first MOT after being sat in a field for at least a year, and had 2 failures, a cv joint and a split pin!! So as you can imagine we are now very happy, and can start working on her! We have 220 days to transform this tired looking girl into a Bond car, (the theme for this year) whilst also trying to turn her into the best "fast" Ford we can in the progress, and all without us spending any more money!! So on that note, (sorry if I shouldn't say this here, mods please delete or move this paragraph if you feel it's inappropriate, but it is for charity! ;D) If you are a from a company that produces car parts that would fit a '91 Escort Cabrio, and would like some advertising for the cost of some parts, get in touch, either through pm, or our website in my sig! Or from electronics companies, (for the Bond gadgets, gonna need some parts!!) Once we have driven to Monaco (and back) we will be putting the complete car as is, gadgets and all, on a well known auction site, and all the profits from that will be going straight to Help for Heroes too. If you would like any more info, see our site, we are on several networking sites too! Will try and update you all here, I know what it's like when you get used to looking at one forum!

Team009 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well the good news is our workshop area is now all ready, we've been very generously given the bits and bobs we need for a damn good servicing, including belts, plugs, leads etc, so, once the snow drift that is in the way has melted, we can give our tired girl the once over, then it's a case of getting her on the road and to as many shows as possible to show her off, hopefully getting as many Gucci bits as we can on the way! Oh, anyone work for a wheel supplier and want some free advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naylor2006 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Do you need a set of wheels and tyres? Or either? Just saying cause I bought these alloys from Halfords 5 years ago, did about 15 miles in them before getting a different set so the tyres are still pretty much mint. Yokohoma 195/50/15, I've been trying to sell the rims and tyres for years so I think if you chaps want them you can just have them, if only for the tyres as the rims aren't the nicest I accept that! http://www.dontcallmeshirley.eclipse.co.uk/phils/phils_pics/myoldcar/P080608_21.08%5B01%5D.JPG http://www.dontcallmeshirley.eclipse.co.uk/phils/phils_pics/myoldcar/P080608_21.09.JPG Edited March 2, 2012 by Naylor2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
