Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral peewee : mk5b Escort

Hi, just thought id show you what i drive & what i have done to it over the past year.
Still some changes to come in rs2k brakes (have them but yet to fit)
Single wiper conversion.
Laguna splitter containing indicators & current indicators coded red.
Petrol cap replaced.

All work has been done myself (except lowering & arches replaced,rolled & flared) using rattle cans & lots of time & effort, hope you like it so far.

How it started.






Then this happened.





















Resulting as this

The bonnet scoops not my cup of tea but i must admit the rest of the car looks verynice.

Pics are actually larger than are showing, but if you right click & view image you can see them prperly.

I love it. the front reminds me of an mg

looks very swish and how on earth you got the body work looking that great with rattle cans i'll never know.

you'll have to teach me!!!

Hey Pete. Good to see the cars progression from start to now. Keep this page updated when u change stuff if u can mate. Its an all round good car this and altho the front bumper is very "rally" it does suit the styling of ur car well. U ever gonna 2.0 urs?

Oh! yes scoop, one of the major plans is a mondeo 2.0 transplant after the show season mate.
After that who knows, i may turn it into a real rally sl@g

I think this is the best looking escort ive seen for ages, really like the lights and the grill looks like a cosworth replica with exception of a few things. Tidy paintjob from what i can see, and with rattle cans, must have been quite costly. Rattle cans cost loads in comparison to a compressor etc. Are the seats out of rs turbo or capri etc look nice. Well done

thats a point that peewee. Could u list a spec for us

Exterior:
Interior:
Engine:
Chassis(wheels brakes suspension):
Ice:

Mk5 RS2k seats arent they peewee,and are those 4 little pinholes at the edges of the WRC ur own work or are they all like that?

Cosworth rep with the exception of a few things? only part of that lot ever to come on a cossie was the front bumper,on the rally cossies

Nice work peewee. Looks good.

looks good mate never raelly liked the mk5 but a do like this 1 looks good with the wrc front bumper on it. u got anythink ese pland 4 it

& after the show season a big possibility of a mondeo 2.0 litre engine swap tweaked to 150bhp

couple more i found.
What it looks like after a nice clean.

IMO its begging for a ford badge in that front grille (red metal visable looks odd),and imo black mesh wud be nice.

Mesh is going silver, (metal piece getting cut out) same as the bumper scoop & noooo badge lol

nice, radiant red is a bugger of a colour to get a decent match, but from the pics its looks fine. i'm not too with the bonnet vent either. 2.0l after show season, bring it on!
