Ex-Finesse Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Spoiler yes... vent (whole bonnet) NO - AFAIK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 The arches are stunning, but really not liking the bumpers/skirts, way to Lax Flower for my liking I trust it's having plenty done to strengthen the shell, cos the standard Escort shell is floppy and Shite for that kind of power output, Cosworth shell was reputed to be 100% stronger, so you'll need some major work done, or it's just a bit dangerous really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Side Repeaters- well, there were no side repeaters on the wings before anyway, they were on the mirrors Spray booth- theirs is on a trailer, so is much cleaner than the unit where the car is kept locked up. That's their temporary premises Cost- Far from cheap, but I'm happy Yes, there's not really much of the car left underneath that's Escort at all (well, there is atm, but won't be very shortly ) The Evotech/ST kit could EASILY have been factory Ford if they had balls, it suits the lines of the car better than anything else, so don't really see the "Lax Flower" in it at all, but each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew H Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 whats happening in the engine bay and inside the car, as it will be red, is it going to be sprayed blue too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 what you gonna do about the red inside and red under the wheel arch and if you smash a window, you do realise when they lift the rubber back it'll be red. persoanlly im surprised you went for a blow over rather than a back to metal job, and tbh im suprised your not going for a shade of red so the bits that are missed for stand out like a sore thumb.

Mike C Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 the red inside the the car will be completely covered, so not really fussed about what the eye can see as for under the bonnet tho, that's a different story, but more on that later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 'Tis a good point....... surely you could have at least had the doors, boot and bonnet off mike? and the bumpers as well? Is it not going to be red when you open the door??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 no, no, no anything the eye can see will be blue or carbon fibre anything the eye can't see, I'm really not bothered about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
