Stayed in the RR family.  Looking good, that £7 worked hard! Isnt there mechanical jobs to do or are you set to go? PS what size are the wheels, 13's? I reckon wide dartboards would look good. with black centres  funyy as i should say that as the Cortinas wheel mod is the complete opposite! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Stick with the chromes and forget putting all that 80s barry tat on it, insted spend your time slamming it on its ass and fitting some nice wheelies! You can fund it all by sellling those quater bumpers to some ebay ford geek for a stupid sum! Then again thats what id do and you are probably aiming for some kind of ironic 4 door RS replica yes?  |

i agree with the above. conentrate on slammage and rims. keep the headlights too, you don't see square headlights on escorts that often anymore

nice looking car but you gotta keep those square lights trouble with them square lights is they are REALLY bad, you really need some cibie H4's in there if your gonna wanna do more than 50mph in the dark. |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

nice.......prefered it with full bumpers though. deck it on something with a really low offset fo the wheels tuuck real far under the arches and slam it on its  you czan take them 100mm down before they start sitting on the bumpstops - narrowed beam look FTW please don't make it look like all the rest of the boring 2 doors out there  |

oh - ive got a collection of boot spoilers if your after 1 - they look pap though IMO (hence me getting rid ;D)
bosu style duckbill on the front FTW that way when it catches you don't have to get it repainted
