Guest rcdunk Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi guys new to the forum thought I would post some phtos of my cab see what everyone thinks owned since 2003 but has been used on and off in that time due t family commitments/ divorce / new family comitments lol back in use as nice days only car garaged most of the time started out as a 1.6i then previous owner fitted the rs turbo skirts and bonnet and cosworth illusion bumpers rs turbo engine escort gti wheels in white (pain in the arse to keep clean) had droped it on the floor with a huge cut to spring lengths had blue sparco bucket seas and modded rear spaker mounts to fit 6x9 speakers since I bought it have removed the sparco bucket seats and fitted a set of standard xr3i seats to match rest of the trim replaced the shocks (which were shot) and springs with a g max set 25/40mm drop cannot remember which one removed the rs turbo engine and fitted a zetec 2.0l on bike carbs and megajolt with ashley 4 branch manifold mated up to the exhaust that was on the car (approx 4 inch and a bit to loud)will get round to changing it a some point it putting out about 175 bhp according to the rolling road had the wheels powder coated silver things still to do have a half leather set of rear seats and recaro fronts to fit after they have been re trimmed (nt sure wether to do them to original colour and spec or maybe do them different colour/stlye exhaust as mentioned above undecided if I should keep the body kit it has fitted or go for something a bit more normal rs turbo bumpers replace rear speaker mounts for original set so I can put daughters child seat in the back although that is a problem in itself as the seat is ment to be fixed by 3 point belt not just a lap belt (any suggestions here greatly recived ) well here are the photos let me know what you think good or bad since the photos have been taken lower black skirt on front bumper has been re sprayed and found a fuse box cover in a local scrappy spot of luck there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lee81 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Rob the isofix anchors from a newer ford and bolt them in the back where the existing selt belt bolts are. Also have seen them fit the isofix anchors in the front to a recaro. Each side goes between the side bolsters and centre section of the seat down to underneath the rear mounting points. There are company's appearing that do these conversions as its something thats in demand. I would do it yourself as there really isn't much work involved.
