Superscort Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 so at the age of 16 i got my very first car which costed me £150 and the best 150 pounds i have spent in years so the car i brought way back in 2009 was a Escort MK5 MISTRAL 1.4 CVH 1 down from the xr3i it was quite a basic escort for its age then it was down to sorting the engine out as it was seized after looking around i went to a local scrappy and brought a second hand engine which was the same so here are some pics this was the bottom half and it was ready to be scraped and this was the engine i brought and after a few days i stuck it in and got it all running so that was the engine side of things mainly done and here are some pics of the car back in 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgio Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Nice.Glad to see another Escort on the road It's a bit weird the way it sits on the rear with these rims on the first photo...or maybe it is due to the angle of the photo taken.Always loved 3 door ones,I wish mine was a 3 door one too...Keep the photos coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmotorsport Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Nice work. Even if the fibreglass wings are bad, a bit of fettling will sort them out. Not a huge fan of the rear lights or the dust bin out the back, but keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I think u could park closer to that orange astra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have a list of requests lol. I quite like it but...... Exhaust needs to be centre of the cut out , in the pic its 1 sided.Grill mesh should mach the bumpers imo.Standard lights with half tint would suit better, again imo.Gloss black paint the splitter.Remove K&N sticker and what looks like mesh in the rear bumper....unless you spray it black so it doesnt stand out!And last of all......please can we have a side on pic Good work and look forward to next pic's. All the above is my own opinion tho so dont take it the wrong way...just tell me to do one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 would look a million times better without any of that crap bolted to it. shouldve left it as it was but put it on some mk5 rs2 wheels imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
