My Estate...

[escortmad79]

This has been running around for a while.

 

My Mk1 Estate is a very tidy example in a rare colour.

 

I have a massive dilemma, do I leave it standard (As per the request of the people I bought it from & a few people have told me to do) & look for a 2 door saloon or do I modify it (Not to excess as originally planned with a Cossie lump it's far too good to cut up), just lower it, 1700 crossflow on 45s, Lotus steelies etc)

Hopefully that'll take you to a load of pics to show you how tidy it is!

 

Over to you....

 

Standard or Modify?

[fezza]

Modify mate,like the sound of your plans

 

Very tidy car by the way

[marky4]

lowered, hot x flow and some steels it will look the nuts

 

it's not like you are doing any thing that can't be put back to standard and besides it's your car do what you want to it

it can all be put back to standard in the future if it has to be. do it! you know you want to!

[Toby]

Start with a little lowering - it will soon get out of hand.

[RETRO_AL]

Mod it ! i wasted loads of time toying wiv the same dilema wiv my mk1 2 door now its done ive no regrets .

[Pipster007]

Mod it.....................Modern traffic has sped up since the 70's, so you may aswell make the 70's stuff keep up with it now

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

you wouldnt ask if you didnt want to mod it

 

go for it you know it makes sense

[james p]

mod it you know it makes seanse

[Posse]

Rape it slame it mod it do it

[escortmad79]

As much as I love Mk1s I'm not raping it Darren!

[Posse]

God you've changed

[Nettles]

Soope it and slamm it

[sparkycapri]

it's got to be modded!

i think most would agree there not that exiting in standard form.

[Vista]

Definitely mod it, but I'd go with the sleeper look, much like Deltamals cosworth Mk3 tina that still sports 1.3L badges.

 

Keep it looking as stock as possible but with plenty of attitude under the surface, wolf in sheeps clothing type thing. Most saxo kids have got wise to being smoked at the lights by a hot looking mk1, but they won't expect it from one that looks like a boggo estate.

[escortmad79]

It'll be kept looking fairly standard, maybe just a set of quarter bumpers

[Guest MK1gaz]

Drop it on 13's with a barking pushrod or pinto for some proper oldskool power and attitude
