new car :) (ford)

hi...aint been on here in ages..

well ive owned 4 cars including this one, nova 1.2 (sr rep), 1.4 sri,316 bmw and now this.....escort mk4....and its the best and cleanest car ive owned, its basically mint condition with only a tad bit of rust on the rear passenger arch.....;) found my family with ford :D...mk1/2 escort, rs turbos, rs1600i, saph, ecos...some very nice cars they have made :)

spec:

front recaros (88spec)
lowered (approx 70/80 on rear, 60 on front)
fully stripped
refurbished rs series 2 alloys (one on show in spare wheel well)
1.6 cvh (soon to have a few mods done, inc k&n, 4-2-1 ashley and full straight through exhaust) untill the zetec goes in..in the summer ;)

hope you like :)

Don't know anything about 'em, but looks pretty tidy and nice and low. :thumb:

Your bonnet doesn't fit right

looks nice, allways been a fan of the mk4 escorts, does the bonnet shut all the way lol

Very nice that, dont see many of those about any more.

lol..i took those pics the day i tried the bonnet rasiers on, only fitting them back on in the summer to help with under bonnet temps :)..

and cheers for the comments :D

GSi skirts, spedlines, GSi bump.......oh no......wait....ahh i see its an escort lol

My bad!

Actually looks quite tidy there lad!

Clear indicators, Painted mirrors and maybe a couple of RST bits and your laughing!!

Good job!

well i think the base models look the bollox....and i want it to be a sleeperish (1.6cvh) untill the zetec goes in and then i will be fitting a full rs kit, (bumpers,arches,skirts,spoiler) but it has some rs parts on it now, (inc rs series 2 alloys, recaro seats, rs dash,speedo/clocks, rs steering wheel, interior clock/light)

:)

very er red?

clean as fook for a G reg aswell that :D yeah old fords are nice, but you know what they say dont you!

more like FORD= f***d on race day! lol

fixed or repaired daily surely?

not realy fella, like i said its the best car ive owned, inlcuding the reason its more reliable etc than my sri and 316....

it is true that there are a few fix or repair daily ones out there...but this one is solid and reliable..other wise i wouldnt have brought it ;)

be veryy relaible with the zetec (soon to be) 1.8 xr3i, 130bhp standard, but the plan is for a reliable 200bhp mk4....sleepers i love em! ;)

the mk3 escort shares the same kinda back window style as the nova...:)

lol thats not a sleeper when you look threw the window!

a standard mk3 with a cage......and about 350/400bhp under the bonnet....hmmm not a sleeper ay!

Just goes to show how crap ford engines are if they have to raise the bonnet to keep them cool :p

They look a lot like 2dr saloons, although as much as I love the nova coup?s, I hate the look of the escorts.

loving the escort, mk4's are growing on me as im helping me mate with his convertable doing an rs turbo conversion

Found On Rubbish Dumps ??

leave the bonnet raises off, looks like a bad repair job

id recomend the 2 litre zetec bottom end on a 1.6cvh head id i were you,ZVH conversion, i wouldnt run a 2litre zetec if your thinking of tuning it as the valves are quite restrictive, at 136bhp standard you wont get much past 200 with a lot of mods, well done for joining the ford family, really decent cars if you know what your doing and you like welding lol good luck with your project and i look forward to seeing your progress

cheers "london_chris" :thumb:

well i dont fancy chucking all my money at a zvh...not on this car...
just going for a quick zetec tbh....and when i want somthing quicker il buy somthing quicker :D

me mates building a 2.1 zvh turbo to go into his rs turbo at the moment...should be around 320bhp+ when its all done...;)..but its costing him a fortune to do the zvh route :( cant wait the see the final product though :roll:

theres a guy who lives up road from me with a 2.1 zetec turbo...head has had something like 2-3k worth of work on it and everything else bar the turbo is stage3 items...blew the turbo up tho so its off the road getting a stage3 turbo.

I like it, old Fords make as much sense as old Vauxhalls in terms of cheapness to get bits for, I was looking at a Burton power catalogue and the availablitily of parts is astounding! Your Escy looks tidy, I have friends who've had these and the only problems they've had are the same as Nova ownership issues - the tin worm! Is there a Burton catalogue type thing for Vauxhalls BTW??

I think it looks gay!

Ford aka Fook Off Retarded Driver.

**** you....

sorry but your jst a prick imo!!

i love it....al that matters :)
