My Slow MK6 Escort Project Car

[Frenchy2012v2]

Hi guys and girls,

 

To start of with I'm new here so Hi

 

Brought my car last friday for the small amount of £350 (pictures I upload after work will so why it was so cheap...)

 

All in all the car isnt in to bad a shape (Pictures to follow) and the engine is great!! The car itself is:

 

1997 P Reg MK6 Ford Escort Ghia 1.8 5 door

 

Plans at the moment are just to bring her back to life a little and start with some small simple modifications that wont be to everyone's taste but I like them and feel that is the important thing as its my car

 

Right better get back to work will upload pictures after work...

Would show mine but its a work in progress at the moment

[shawdreamer]

same dishwasher as we used to have.......... can testify it was great for part cleaning when kept well stocked with salt crystals.

 

careful though..... my missus still thinks it wore out early because the pump was faulty.
