I've recently started looking at buying another 2 door Escort, as there are now so much choice with the possibilities of trim, engines etc wondering what everyone prefers ?

Not sure how it matters mate.

 

The whole point to this hobby of ours is building the exact car that we each want.

 

Just interested in others opinions, i have always gone old skol with nice looking standard'ish looking car with a hot crossflow........... however i'm getting into my 40's and wondering if i should be getting updated from the 80's (when i 1st got into Escorts) and getting a more modern car ie with Zetec etc.for a change ?

 

I've not had the chance of going in one with newer running gear and not sure if i'd like it or not ?

 

 

Sorry to those who picked Cortinas, Anglias, Capris and the like although i like all OSF's having owned a Escort from the age of 13 i can't get them out of my system, even after trying others and going to rehab :roll:

mines got standard trim and looks but with 190bhp pinto and i love it.

but then i also kinda want a stripped out racer,but dont think this would be quite as nice on the road,more of a track car

Depends what you have in mind for it? I know mine is minus heater and carpets and on long runs its loud and cold with windows constanly steaming up.I do stay in the frozen north though :mrgreen:

 

I'd go with pinto on 45s slammed on 7x13s revos painted orange no stripes interior caged but with full carpet centre console and leather recaro cossie interior 8)
