  1. id def take the spoiler and stickers off first lol i noticed it had a choke control too, i wonder if they have got a carbed engine in it ?

    Speakers

    think i might do something similar similar to my spare speaker panels but id want them angled more upwards and inwards into the car
  3. good point but is hard to find decent mint condition parts these days, if only my wife would let me use my credit card id have it in my garage by now! and ive had a few people asking if i want to sell the one ive got. I can only dream at the moment unless i buy her a new shape astra sxi first then she will agree to anything lol

    Speakers

    Dont they catch your legs, cos they look like they stick out way to far lol as for the black, grey might have looked better to match the trim and speaker covers
  5. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XR3I-Cabriolet-owned-for-23-years-mint-condition-unique-classic-turquoise-/231017115663?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35c9b1700f my dream car lol
  6. lol hes probably to scared to do it , its easy well easyish once youve done it before lol
  7. active8 wtf is that never heard of it but i doubt its that good lol

  9. http://s1185.photobucket.com/user/welshlad1978/library/J%20reg%20Mk4%20Escort%20Cabriolet theres some of when i first had it and swapped stuff over etc, Mines solid just needs a new carpet, decent seat or a retrim, erm door cards are sagging but im gonna fibre glass them etc and the rear speaker pods have huge holes and my spare ones of my old two tone are the same
  10. i paid 400 for my rare j reg but had to swap hood seats etc over, got to admint the one on ebay is showroom condition with all history
  11. my exhaust and filter were already on the car luckily, and ive got sections of another of my last cab £180 is cheap considering it would prob cost £100 for a full standard pea shooter one! im slating them but if i ever get a factory standard concourse cab thats how its gonna stay standard forever theres a aqua cab i want now on ebay but he wants over 3K for it
  12. zetec turbo is the way forward but its too much hassle, time and money all ive got is a straight through SS exhaust and the right back box not some big monstrouse boy racer one lol, a K & N air filter and decent plugs and leads thats about it, i dont even notice what extra gain im getting really but it sounds nice and anything is better than the standard pea shooter exhaust (Petrol wise it seems ok on long runs but doesnt like short journeys) Id like a super chip tho but they hard to find these days and yeh think i might def buy one as i think my filter has seen better days its prob been on my car since 1991 lol
  13. Spotted this earlier, i have seen it parked up for a number of years, and i know its had a new roof about a year ago, upon looking at it, it doesent look too bad apart from they have sprayed the lower silver part black and its got a bad boy bonnet, non standard wheels etc etc ,, ite got half leathers bit worn but not to bad, rear speaker pods have kicker speakers not 6x9's luckily lol and its got silly stickers on the boot id love to buy it just for the hood and the rear panels but the boss i mean wife says no they want £650 for it or nearest offer or px thats what it says on signs anyway if anyone wants the number to ring them pm me
  14. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-N-57i-Induction-Kit-57-0021-1-for-Ford-Escort-/290702776639?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AEscort&hash=item43af3c593f £64 that will def fit as its been designed for the car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ESCORT-4-5-6-7-UNIVERSAL-PERFORMANCE-AIR-FILTER-K-N-TYPE-INDUCTION-KIT-13-/150813369035?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item231d2d62cb Looks like it will def fit and its £14 bargain might sell my old K&N and buy one lol
  15. i dont think that will fit at all and for starters its for a older mk2 escort etc, as for fitment if you get hold of one its basically just unbolting you old air box and tightening a large jubillee clip K & N one you need like this ebay item number 300701512927 and if your not very good at mechanics id leave the cam alone Air filter and exhaust should add maybe 7-10 BHP ish what about decent leads and plugs? and a good service, redex etc etc Tony - aka welshlad

    Roof Problems

    you might have to do it once more maybe , i did and then it sorted itself out, think it just gets stiff or if it doesnt work then as RSCAB said then there could be summat damaged or bent ... hopefully not tho
  17. this was a day last week when i def wasnt going out with the hood down lol
  18. Talacre beach North Wales went all the way there just for a ice cream lol 03/08/13

    Roof Problems

    Near the rear shelf were the rooflining side trim is, put your hands up the sides and above the lining and feel for the roof bars then push them forward, i had the same problem after refitting mine, after a few open and closes it sorts its self out
  20. i just bought power steering fluid from my local VW/AUDI garage its basically the same stuff (They use it for their power hoods, power steering and audi hydraulic suspension - all the same fluid) but its way cheaper than FORD
  21. mine has never come on or flickered or anything, car is running fine tho lol might have to check to see if the bulb actually works just in case
  22. i suppose it would be a diff part number as it will have some sort of difference, but they are supposedly very similar,, only want one to put a tow bar motorbike holder on, im not paying silly money for a trailer licence well this all depends if i decide put my bike together or sell it hmmmm ..... anyone want a yamaha yz 125 2002 - engine semi apart - needs new shift forks which i have as well as a new shift cam and gasket set, also needs fork seals doing other than that its a nice fast bike £700 no offers
  23. sun is out and ive got loads of work to write up :sad: grrrrrrr!!!! it will be dark when im finished too lol :sad:

  24. dnt think the one in my car has them but its def not solid its wobbly on the top and bottom
  25. i mean the top were it wears, (Were im holding it) its a little loose when you wiggle it but not as bad as most etc
