well after 6 weeks of ownership and 850 miles mrs brown is a fantastic purchase!. i see why people love these escorts as it drives so bloody well and is a real plaesure on country roads. the only mod i have done is to remove the wheeltrims and fit these.   i want some of the little centercaps like the populars had but have not found any yet. the backbox has decided to go so thatll be getting sorted next week when i get payed.  still loving the metallic brown with brown interior!.  |

Loving this. I have so many happy childhood memories of being carted around in a maroon diesel one of these, that would run on literally anything.

yeah she has ABS. when the winters over and the weathers better ill be getting the rear arches and sill ends sorted. I'll remove the battery and inspect the tray and generally give it a good going over to preserve it.

bad news about the window.
usually smashing a rear quater light is usually a sign of joyriders. they do that as its the most unoticeable window.
glad you have it alarmed up could well have saved this one from going missing.

How can you be so calm and collected mate? I literally hate scumbags who do things like this to someones pride and joy! There's just no respect for peoples belongings anymore. They are a disgrace.
I'm glad that's all they did though fella as its a lovely example.

I had a similar escort (but in red) and also came back to find the same rear quarter window smashed after work one night. no alarm on mine so the little darlings had had a good leisurely root around, nicking bits and bobs from the boot and the stereo (sans head unit so useless to them)
they left the car where it was though so i was quite relieved!
