mk2 was sold after Paul driving it back from croft last year.

It was good, but at 14mpg with my fez on the back we decided it was worth investing in something more economical & comfortable.

Funny thing was, we got more than what we paid for it - :lol:

It's now in Glasgow somewhere.

Some awesome escorts there had a few over the yrs and was lucky enough to own an original RS1600 for a few yrs..

I had a set of banded steelies knocked up for my mates track car..just type "banded steels "in google there's plenty of companies about I got quoted £180 for 15s so escort 13s will be cheaper id say around £150

This conversion is stunning. I'm thinking of doing the same as a day van. Can you tell me how much you've spent to get it looking like this??
Cheers
