Escort Cabriolet Club Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 It will always look daunting at this stage but once you do some repairs to the inner wings and get the new slam and wings on it will look 100% better !!! Â Â Just remember, once its done it won't need doing again until 2017 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I cannot see Ollie going for that grill, only the white grill it already has on,or a same replacement grill will look good on an all white SE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ollie Posted October 7, 2007 Author Admin Share Posted October 7, 2007 well a few more pics getting there slowly but surely hoping to get the car down to the workshop in the next few weeks to start the front end rebuild inner wings and outer plus front end and a few repairs to the rear end aswell looks very sorry for itself at the moment but haveing seen a few pics of jonny bs and andys when they first started gives me some hope lol i have managed to get hold of a rs 1600 engine and gearbox but still unsure what to do with it it is all there ecu and loom and from what i can gather they are a good engine to have ( we shall see ) the rs 1600 engine is a modified 1600 cvh incorperating a special head and uprated camshaft with adjustable valve rockers and tougher valve springs with fuel injection deceleration fuel cut off and computerised ignition will it make much of a differance here it is i hope so i have also got the front anti roll bar set up too i have heard good things about these heres a few pics of underneath the car just a small hole there the fuel pump getting there slowly but surely the wheels ready to be detyred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
