ok, i know its not holden... its ford:|
but it was 200 and clean, no rust... motor that runs to get it from a-b for the moment etc etc....Also no commy, i killed it .... i havent been on here for ages and when i was it didnt really matter all that much. everybody in here new what they were doing so im hoping things havent changed..
anyways!!!
i have got my little escort! i havent actually checked what year it is exactly but pretty sure 79 or something like that.
i purchased a half cut rx7 motor with all the pipe work intercooler a chip n a lil other crap, it runs around 180kw@rw. im considering paying another 4,500 for a worked motor but not to sure as i will have to upgrade everything....
unsure of the breaks upgrade, drive line and diff...... not sure what fits in, whats strong etc... im hoping the rs2000 or what ever they are fit in fairly easy etc...
THOUGHTS!!
looking along the lines of going a dark dark purple or a black with purple pearl... not tooo sure how it all works and not real keen on spending much more then $3,000 on the paint.
interior im hoping to do all in white and pick up some nice seats around i havent looked into the interior as such, but looking at a pair a mate had taken out of an lj torana and reupholstered as he works in that line. the owner never came back with money or for there seats. there a cream but i was chasing a white, not sure with colour coding either..
umm, wheels not sure tooo far ahead...
body wise i was looking at smoothing over a few things, ie door handles fuel filler... would fill the petrol from boot, have all doors etc open by keyless, battery in boot that would have clips if it ever went flat. the drip tray around tops of windows im looking at cutting off and smoothing back.... anybody done this or know if it would be that big a deal?? its a major rust area aswell as it would be different and give the car a nice rounded edge at the end...
also chrome grill is been made, see how it turns out. will work out if i keep or sell on e-gay. lol.
