not to my taste but what does that matter, as long as you like it

[Xenocide]

Hmm don't like this one so much!

The wheels look awful imo!
The bonnet is horrible.
The bumper is.. an abomination.

Not my cup of tea - sorry. Very shiny though!

What sort of power does it put out? Any engine work?

[escortmad79]

Was dyno'd at 151bhp last time it was on a rolling road.

Not a lot done to it

[bmwdrivernigel]

fix the bonnet/bumper and get some proper wheels on and that would look tidy........too 'southend' for me at the moment.

[bones33]

Nice.

My next project car is going to be a RS1600i

[RobCrezz]

Dont think the wheels suit the car at all...

The front looks like there should be a big FMIC behind it, is there?

[AndyBe]

General consensus here too - take away the bad boy mods - and it's a lovely looking old girl.

[SpeedyGonzales]

What happened when you brought this?

I love your Escort estate Mk1..as its standard and pure art. Whereas as this has been ruined.

However, if you like it modified I can't complain.

Please sort out the front bumper and radiator

[escortmad79]

It's staying as it is

Nope there isnt.

Looks just like an RST should do, not a big fan of the wheels but a subtle standard RST just wouldn't be right.

Really not to my taste; standard car looks altogether nicer.

+1 imho

but each to their own, if the owners happy and he looks it from the pictures then good for him

Where abouts are you?
Not sure I recognise the car..you may have seen one or two of mine about in Saltash...


This one was from last year


& my series 1 from about 3 years ago- hitched up bonnet with various wheels on (Chrome wolfrace voodoo's, black OZ F1's or standard 7 spokes-depending on time of year)


What have you had done to it?

Oh & thanks for the savage badge- the sills came out lovely

Get some 17" softlines on it! Much better choice IMHO & will make the most of the smooth detailing on the car

The car looks nice and tidy but the 'badboy' bonnet has to go, its camp in the extreme, I´ve got a badboy bonnet! *giggle*

Have to agree with bmwdrivernigel but by proper wheels i'd want the origional RS alloys on it. Nice and clean though.

Welcome to PH.

My mother had a brand new S2 in 1987 in white.
