EssexMikeSi Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Looks good John. Would look awesome if it was on the 17inch version of the soft spokes u have and dropped a little to bring the top of the tyre in line with the arch lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Cheers for the comments guys Headlights do suit it well. Lower it and put an RS grill on and it's perfect Did have an RS2000 grille, the one with the bigger holes but didnt like it Looks good John. Would look awesome if it was on the 17inch version of the soft spokes u have and dropped a little to bring the top of the tyre in line with the arch lip. would love 17's, but can't really justify the cost!

JC Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Looks good mate Cheers Got round to swapping my handbrake round, fitted one from a Focus Ghia, its the same as an escort, but has a nice shiny bit on the end http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC01287.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC01283.jpg only a tiny thing, but its in the detail!

JC Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Cheers matey, i see no reason as to why they can't be fitted to the older style escort handbrakes? they look like this when not fitted: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC01269.jpg just two bolts at the base to attach it to the car The centre console is still WIP http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC01284.jpg but getting there me thinks! Think i may carpet the whole of the centre console now, as blends in quite well :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if you waved though it would just confuse me! Love the handbrake idea mate Couldnt you just swap the handles over instead of the whole thing?? i couldn't work out how to swap the handle over so found it easier just to swap the whole unit over :-) i like it, i think loads of little subtle things make a car look nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUMM3R Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Tempted by the handbrake cover, looks good, have you update any other things like the handles on the inside or would that be too OTT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a nice little mod IMO and haven't seen it in an escort! yup updated the whole of the interior, none of its original really :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
