I would of kept the metalic poo brown though It was right at the beginning of the program, sort of an introduction and only lasted a few minutes. I can't figure out why they were so determined that they wanted a car with 1/4 bumpers, they said it was because that's what they'd fitted to theirs....................but they didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davewrc Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 That bumper and overiders cost the same as quarters bumpers. I wouldn't have bother with the spots but apart from that it was a enjoyable show. Missed loads out though, where did the new hockey sticks come from etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker263 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 It did look good when done but sold for £11,500. OMG. Have Escort prices gone mad, it wasn't even a genuine Mexico or RS - seemed a bit steep to me. Even the Purchase price at £4,500 was expensive -or is that me way out of touch? Think I need to get my agreed valuation on my 1300E increased. They did a good job by the looks of it and great to see another Escort geting reborn.

stuartp Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 i enjoyed it and what with edd, mike and vin and his film i reckon they might have upped the price for a mk1 a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy44Boz Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Easy when moneys no object but didn't go much on their mix and match of parts( full bumper, lamp bkts etc). Could have made a better looking car for that money though I reckon. It would appear all we can say in the West Country is YYYYEPPPP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esscynutter Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Most of the mods/work they did to the car were quite good and they did a nice job of painting it but one thing I cannot understand is why spend money on uprated front struts/brakes/LSD diff which all costs a fair bit only to leave out simple cheaper things like suspension bushes which looked worn out?
