Gti_mark Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 started at 17 with a mk6 escort 1996 1.6 LX in state blue, dad bought it for me to learn to drive in! Kept it for a year after spending 3 grand on it, including a 1.8 zetec turbo, fully stripped and caged! and was my baby! Unfortunaly she had some serious running issues after a hard day at santa pod RWYB and died gracefully a week after! Dont have any pictures because my ex girlfriend threw my laptop out my bedroom window! Then i got myself a sport KA (nuff said) LMFAO Then come this, saw her sitting in the corner of my local ford dealer looking very sorry for herself! 1 owner from new, 50k on the clock! paid the grand sum of 900 quid lolShe was an LX, but for some reason had pretty much everytoy that escorts can have, White dials, leccy mirrors, heated front and rear screen, ford 6000 cdplayer, mica stone pearl paint, footwell lights, 1.8 115ps engine, hight adjustable seat, passenger airbag! Started of very standard, paint was immaculate! dident even need a polish!In the end she had custom gauge pod, aftermarket wheel, rear strut brace, rs7's, custom rear bumper, lowered 35mm, gti skirts, and bucket seats! Unfortunalty some Unisured (Not from this country) driver decided to use it as a crash barrier and cause some serious damage, dident get around to repairing her and scrapped her http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/102_0845.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/100_0655.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/102_0789.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/100_0732.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/100_0778.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/100_0783.jpg Then i bought this for 300 quid!! LOVED THIS CAR!!!1991 polo GTSpent an fortune getting her sorted! Ended up like this after full suspension, exhaust, full engine rebuild, full respray, stripped interior, custom gauge pod! Fully stripped and waxoiled underneath!! was my baby! would out handle the bigger boys in the corners, took it to a track day, and even to there were 300-400bhp tarmac eaters, would outbreak them and outsteer them, they just couldent catch me in the corners, obviously got munched on the straights lolBought it like this LMFAOhttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/DSCF0156.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/DSCF0158.jpgthen i worked my magic!http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/SP_A0366.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/DSCF3993.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/DSCF3978.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/Picture001.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/Picture016.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/Picture026.jpghttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/Picture025.jpg And now i have the GTI, my true love, will be keeping this for a long while yet!http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d121/tifaineandmark/DSC00189.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
