ScORTEDS car history

[ScORTED]

Had various cars to play with whilst learning... mk2 golfs a metro and my favorite an E30

 

 

Then a few months before i passed my test i was given a mk2 astra... neptune blue, 5 door poverty spec but it had the 1400 engine as found in the nova SR... when i got it there was a fuel oil and water leak the back arches were rotten and it had various cosmetic problems.

i soon sorted all the above and fitted a GTE kit , abigger carb and some other scrapyard tuning... it saw a gps verified 129mph!! it really felt very fast, and kept up with a lot of things... it was majorlystripped, a pair of seats and a dash

and cleanest engine bay award goes too

[ScORTED]

Then one night after a 7-8k rev at speed the car dropped a valve and got scrapped

 

i wanted another one! i found a 5 door SRi 1.8... but sadly couldn't afford the insurance

but i found a red 5 door ecort lx m reg for £380 with tax and test

first mods

it progressed with an RS accessory kit i had lying about

then a final evolution into a seriously nice car (IMO)

 

 

 

 

then istarted a new job and didn't want to park the car in an industrial estate every day and

the milage wouldn't have helped so i sold it for £1500 but let it go for 1k plus an M reg pug

306 diesel

 

it was crap i hated it but it was frugal, i got bored after about 2 weeks a bought: XR2i 8v

#

 

it was cheap and tuned... and best of all a ford

sadly it was rottern i stripped it down and it lingered in my garage for a good 5 months

before going to the crusher

 

 

Can i get a bump... the automerge is set at more than 1 min

I spy the spoiler i nearly bought.... was the xr a bit beyond repair? likin the escort with accessory bumper on.

[ScORTED]

not long after i discovered it was rottern(the fiesta) the pug blew out a front tyre in the ouside

lane of a dual carridgeway in heavy traffic - i managed to dodge it all but that was the final straw

it had to go so i sold it to my step brother for £200 he still has it 3 years on! that night i was

on autotrader and found:1.8 16v LX 3 door in caymen blue still got

 

theres a full thread on this car here: http://www.ford-force.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5199

 

Its still an on going project, after i got it plenty of other escorts followed:

Bought a runaround while my green escort was in pieces undergoing a rebuild

£350 68k and mint.. all original panels and only one bit of grot on the car

 

 

 

and obviously i buggered about with - leather interior 17s... lol all with a mighty 1400cvh

sold it to a mate who chavved it up then it got broken into and later crushed

 

Whilst i had the black one a mk4 1.9 power engineering XR3i came along - still got

bit frilley around the edges but it has RST everything... a nice little sleeper

i'm currently bringing it up to mot standard

 

then i got a piece of sh t mk4 astra company car very heavy on tax, shite on fuel and

everything kept braking - i wouldn't have pissed on it if it was on fire - i tried my best to keep

it going but the previous users had been an alchy who crashed it a few times and a muppet.

naturally when it blew up after 25k in 9 months in my care and about 15 visits to vauxhall

then they sacked me rather than buy me a new car... nice that... Quality employer NOT

 

before that blew up another car was added to the collection - sold on ebay

a new unregistered mk4 xr3i cab built from a new shell - never used mint!

 

and another bump please lads

Forgot to say the e30 looks smart to, standard bumpers?

[ScORTED]

M3 body kit on the e30

 

 

currently waiting for the right time to get it registered etc...

 

Then whilst i was job hunting an evo car came up cheap... sadly its first owner bodged lots of it

then it had a half completed 2.0 swap and caused me masses of aggro, but tbh for £500 i can't

grumble... its currently on its way to being an RS2k replica only 15bhp short too

2.0 Si 3door sold for £1450 to Stu 1.6si

from

to

 

currently building up the mk5b as a turbo propelled track car eta end of the year.

and the 2.0 is my daily drive, just a bit of body work to sort an an rs2k interior to fit

 

the end

 

 

yes mate that was the spoiler you nearly bought... sold it to a nice lass called Nadine whos obviously chaned

her mind about it, looked quite good - you'd have never got it on that boot though

lovely selection of cars mate

[Tez162003]

how do you lot do it, you lot get through cars quicker than a monkey can swing from a tree, ive had my 3 car in 3 years? thats not a lot.... is it? mine were due to women in car park and engines 2 engines infact (bloody cvh engines.)

[ScORTED]

quick update:

 

the 1.9 passed its mot, and proceeded to fall to bits straight after, so i'm on the look out for a donor car to reshell it - its damnd fast!

and the 2.0Si is in my eyes finished so its being sold... pics

[white_van_man]

tidy, love the e30

[Spawn]

Some nice motor,s there

[Martin]

Looks good mate. How much you selling the Si for?

[ScORTED]

quite a bit consider, but everything is RS spec or better, 64k 1.6 box, new clutch, new wishbones, mint RS2000 interior, ford CD player, 4 new(ish) toyo proxes 50k 2.0 lump with new belts tensioner water pump etc etc etc

[nuts]

nicest car in there is the e30, gorgeous

[SaMMy125]

have to say i never really liked ur mk5b

 

but ...omg

 

 

how nice does this pic look, still on half halves about the rs kit, but the alloys with the arches, even the lower spoiler that would look so silly on other peps cars, fits so well with urs, grand job mate
