That brings back memories...LOL....
My Escort was the first car I bought at 18 (19 years ago
). Really easy to work on the electrics, with the fuse box being under the bonnet
.
Mine was the estate version (cos I used to do mobile disco`s back then). I put a full x-pack body kit on her, handbuilt a full wooden dash and centre console, put in RS style black leather-look racing buckets, resprayed her black and diamond white and jacked up the back leaf springs to fit 12 inch wide tyres and capri ghia alloys on the front....LOL...
She handled like a snake in the wet...LOL.... but I thought it was cool at the time
.
I will have to see if I`ve got any photos knocking about.
I did that much work on her, that after 4 years I sold her for the same price that I bought her for. Happy days...LOL....
Regards,
Ian.
