My 1975 MK2 Ford Escort - NOW SOLD!
My Escort was the biggest heap when i bought it, but much has changed now. I found some original 1300 hubcaps and polsihed them up. A 'fullysick' K&N Filters sticker has been slapped on the front window. I've practiced respraying and fixing the repairs some idiot did before,with help from my dad.
I made a better rear parcel shelf set-up from thin mdf-board. I lined it with foam then covered it in black vinyl. I had some spare speakers which are 6.5" Audiopipe which have a rating of 330W per speaker. They need atleast half that to run them but i think the new cassette deck will do with its 2x7W power!
The doors have been covered in vinyl to suit the black/blue theme. A sports steering wheel and polished LED gearknob add a better feeling to driving the beast. Some gauges have just been installed with vinyl backing.
The original 1300 OHV engine is still there. Its had a new brake master cylinder and battery put in not too long ago and the rest of the bay cleaned up. It seems to run pretty damn good for the age of it. A RAM-FLO air cleaner has been chucked on, which makes a slight induction noise.
After a rally session!
