Markc Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hello all, Build thread (more on another forum);http://www.escortevolution.co.uk/forums/in...=markc&st=0 I bought this car back in 2007 on 62k from a local dealer.I have done the majority of any work on the car myself so I know it’s been done properly and I get to monitor the wear and tear of any components on it. It’s standard 1.6 Finesse apart fromInterior mods;Rear seats and door cards are flow raven interior, repaired and/or properly cleaned. (Front Recaro’s partly finished but will be included in the price)A-pillar oil pressure gauge (not wired in yet)Chrome door handles Chrome button handbrakeChrome ring on gear gaiterPepper red gear knobSteering column radio controlsRS2000 Steering wheel with inverted leatherMP3 CD6000Ford 6 cd changer under passenger seatFont heated screen button (ready for the new screen)Map roof lightsGenuine Ford floor matsClifford alarm with remote central locking OutsideGTI/RS2000 skirtsColour coded rub strips4x MINT GTI wheels (bought new from ford not long before I got the car) with Toyo Proxy T1-Rs (rears have covered less than 1000 miles)Headlight coversRear lights have pin stripe tape to appear smoked (not the crap tinting spray). SuspensionLowered 30mm on PI springs and G-max front shocks (rears started leaking and are currently standard)Rear strut braceFront upper strut braceFront lower strut braceNew Genuine Ford lower arms last yearNew ARB links at the same timeNew track rod ends.New Genuine 3 Piece clutch fitted not long ago Bad pointsThe rear arches are rusting but I have new panels to go with the carThere is a small bubble on the rear corner of both side of the roofBoot lid has the usual rust under the spoilerPassenger side rear door has rust on it but I have a replacement pepper red rear doorSlight tap on start up when cold but goes after around 30 seconds and is really quiet after.Steering wheel needs recovering ideallyOnly 2 small dents over the whole car otherwise it’s perfectly straightThe lacquer is peeling on the front bumperSome little Plonker decided to key the car down one side She's now on 167k still running a completely standard engine and genuine ford exhaust still, services every 10k or less and lots of parts have been refurbished or replaced for as new condition parts. This is why it has lasted so long. Other than the clock on the dash not being plugged in when fitting the dash back last week the rest of the car work as it is supposed to.The brakes, suspension and steering have always been kept at 100% and is very noticeable when driving, it’s very fun to drive around the country lanes.I have got to say even now I'm utterly surprised at how reliable this car has been. I've only had to change 1 pulley due to being slightly noisy and an alternator due to the mileage but both replaced with genuine Ford items again.Folder full of receiptsDue to now working in the same town I no longer need the car. I’m after £750 (the upgrades alone are worth the most of the value of the car).Based in Chelmsford, Essex Any questions please let me knowRegardsMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
