Mark2Mark Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 I've never liked modern wheels on mk2's..........................untill now, i'm in love!
Pipster007 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Coolio dude. Hard looking motor. Love the dash layout
MadMark2 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 That sure is one puurdy lookin motor !!!!!!!!!!! My escort is starting to feel very inferior, i really must pull my finger out.......
GREENRS Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Nice one pig look forward to seeing it in the flesh
PIG Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Posted October 14, 2006 put a new set of tappets in it as it was noisey as fook,to no avail ,had the car mot'ed yesterday and also insured it(not cheap the conning buggers).changed the bonnet style and colour but still not sure on it,thoughts please guys.mounted the washer bottle in the n/s inner wing and lathered up a alloy cap for it and done the strut brace satin black as well.hope you like
PIG Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Posted October 14, 2006 have also ordered a set of these image wheels but will have to get the car sitting lower before they go on,they are 6x17 but the car is able to run with 215 section tyre's without an rubbing on the back.the fronts have been made with 5mm shaved of the inside for clearance.your opinons on the wheels as well guys
kevmk2 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 I prefer the 16's mate,17's are too big under standard arches IMHO
Mark2Mark Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 I think the old ones look beter but as long as you're happy thats all that matters. I suppose i could take the old ones off you if you're throwing them away!
PIG Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Posted October 21, 2006 cheers for the coments again guys,gonna get the image wheels but big wide 1's as im proberbly gonna x-pack it next year as ive always had a thing for the bailey mk2 escort.building a new engine over the winter as this one#s tappety as hell
jim Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Looks really slick im loving the black and yellow together,the black rims did look pukka.
Fiesta Steve Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 Love this car, hard as nails Good luck with the engine rebuild
