Now there are better and much more subtle ways I know many on here would have done this.... I would not want it, but worth a look at the pics anyway. Not much info. What I do know is that the guy got bored because he did not have a motorbike to ride, so he built this.

That is nicely done. Pleasantly subtle arches and purposeful stance. No good for taking the grass clippings to the tip though....

My main issue cosmetically is the air intakes for cooling. Sure there are more subtle ways.
Arches are good.

I usually avoid Escort threads, but you tempted me to look inside. I like it just for doing something different with an Escort.

scrolling down i thought - that's quite cool in a 70s type way but the guy must have had a fetish for air scoops instead of bubble portholes then i got to the third pic and thought fuuuuuuuu(dge) obvious cooling compromises in no way make it less drool worthy* *i am half way through a big pile HOT CAR mags on my bedside table so i may be becoming biased towards the 70's look - I needs more fur

As for the scoops maybe french em in and have the funneling ducts inside the back maybe

I like it a lot, but for me in a purely personal view, i would have x packed it and put the intakes in the rear box arches. The wheel sizes would be ideal.
