Cosworth909 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 hey reid you might wanna rub ya bonnet a bit more cause as soon as you put paint on that it will sink into all the little bits you have rubbed thru but like what you have done with them doors awesome mate they could also act as air breaks if you need to stop in a hurry!!!!

Trig Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 fcuk parking next to Reid just thought how tempted i would be to press the button with oncoming cyclists More like motorcyclists snaking thru stopped traffic..lolNowt wrong with that, just give them space and let them through. Reid, those doors, you pikey barstud, doing everything the cheap way, really inventive though. You just need to find some less severe now so you dont give passing children concussion when you open them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid, those doors, you pikey barstud, doing everything the cheap way, really inventive though. You just need to find some less severe now so you dont give passing children concussion when you open themi did say its a budget project lol. up until now, i still reckon im a fair bit under the 1k mark - although ive lost count on the hours ive spent on it lol. it would be awesome if i could be ensured a decent paint job from lairdie in return for some mechanical work, i really wanna try it myself but tbh i think i'd rather know it was gonna turn out right.

reid Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 hmm, seems its been a while since i updated this! tbh not that much has changed, well except my life which meant the car dropped down my priorities list, starting to get back on my feet now tho so hopefully things will start progressing a bit more. erm.. well the EFI stuff i had, i sold most of when i was proper skint. only got the bottom end left now, but that was why i sold my van to buy this..http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/Image007.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/Image006.jpg with the help of a random pikey i found on the streets out the engine came.http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/P281208_1603.jpghttp://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/P281208_1626.jpg then he fucked off and left to strip it down and refit it myself! http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/P281208_2128.jpg 40 mins later.. http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/P281208_2316.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/P281208_231601.jpg just managed to get a loom for it, so hopefully get it running in the next few days then just bodywork and my interior to finish before its on the road. then i'll need to decide on painting it myself or finding someone to do it for me! few piccies of how subtle the mk4 RS Turbo bodykit looks on the mk6.http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/P281208_2129.jpghttp://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/P281208_212901.jpg just had a look at my original plans and theres actually very little changed.. rest of plans atm for the car.. engine1.6 MFI RS Turbo engine. sierra cos intercooler (or calibra turbo) depending on whats easier to fit.tuned to between 180/200bhp at a later date.Now 180bhp ATW EFI setup. now a 180bhp (ATW) EFI unit. exteriormodified S2 RST skirts and arches standard front bumper w/splitter (undecided on laguna or something makeshift)standard escort RS2000 rear bumper (spats)twin tailpiece exhaustmorette headlightssmoothed rear handlesno spoilersierra cosworth vents (at later date)all as the car sits.. wheels/suspension/brakesfront upper and lower strut brace rear strut bracepolybushed as much as possiblelowered approx 60mm on avo adjustable coilovers16" sigma alloys (azev copies) (possibly refurbed in black)300mm pumaspeed front brakes270mm rear disk brakesagain, all as the car sits except ive actually got Azevs rather than copies. interiorRS2000 (mk6) full interiorcustom dashboard.a few gauges.and a few little personalised goodies again, check! actually pretty surprised at that, i normally change my mind constantly but i guess this is the way i really want my last escort to be! very slowly, but oh so surely.
