Any more plans for this already cool Escort?? Or you gonna leave as is??? Apart from picking my lads mate up yesterday and blasting down the A1 only to burst a coolant hose....I'm ment to be just using it till I pay the remainder of our big holiday off (just incase the wife reads this) and then sorting out some body work issues. Ive never been a lover of the black under seal sills so will be getting them and the rear arch done at some stage during the year.....oh and adding a rather cool chrome cb aerial to go with my rare chrome rack that a certain other retro rides Escort estate owner is gagging for ha ha ha

Unfortunately this has come to a massive dead end. But I'm hoping the estate will give me a kick up the rear to get this finished this year. It's had so much done. Black top zetec. Chester sports cars bike carb conversion inc mappable ecu discs all round. Full 4 branch stainless system. Relocated battery the list is endless.....so end less I'm thinking of selling to put it bluntly I don't see an end to it

Yep fords or fords really.....not including the wife's 57 zafira sri which is up for sale as I'm after an smax titanium. Yep it's on Peugeot 406 6jx15 steelies. They were as rusty as hell when I got them so I left them and lacquered over the top. They look top

Nice Estate. GL is real rare in Estate form. I hunted for ages and went with an L instead..... So many doors to not have central locking on though, lol!

Was yours the blue more door estate running an 170 on bodies Almost! Mercury grey... Loved that car. Used it for daily work duties for a good few years, and even did a Nurburgring/Gatebil epic fortnight in it.

I loved that car. Very inspiration behind the bike carb'd white one I have. Keep it looking stock but with extra poke. Not that it will ever be finished

Hi Ade. Out of interest, what sort of drop did your Escort Estate have?? Sorry to hijack the thread!! It was nothing drastic, sure it was a -40mm Spax kit.
