Looks great!
Good to see there are still plenty of tidy Escorts getting about.

Any plans on putting the stripes down the side?
I think they would be a nice way to finish it off.

Huw

thanks for the comments guys

Ive entered her in the all ford day, so come have a look if you want.

i hopefully plan to get it passed thru regencies early next week so i can get on sa plates.

after that ill be installing a stereo, ill keep it hidden as much as i can though. i plan to mount the face in the glove box. i will either buy some 6x9 that match my interior colour or carpet over them. as for the front speakers i dont have any ideas on were to mount them so that they look neat and tidy. anybody out there got some ideas?

after that ill start work on the motor. not quite sure on which path i should take [x2x]

cheers huw

2007/01/03 19:20:12

Mr Mk2

Mate top car.

Don't cut holes in your door cards for the front speakers. Put them in the kick panels as to not ruin the doors. Also I would not recommend listening to your brother about engine options

(open can of worms here)

Good luck.

2007/01/03 22:16:38

Huw

mr mk2.

i was thinking of doing this, but the plastic looks flimsy and im not sure if its suitable. has anybody else done this? if so is there a chance that i could look at some pics of it.

cheers huw

I don't have any pics on me I will see what I can do. But what you do is buy speaker pods/spaces from JB hifi and fit them on the kick panel if that makes sense. I have 6" pioneers in the front kick panels using pods. They do stick out a bit and people complain that they get in the way of their right foot when driving. But mine are fine and had no problems.

2007/02/03 08:53:42

Huw

at this stage it looks like ill put the the 6ichs in the doors.

still waiting to get my car thru regencie and swaped over to sa plates.

2007/08/03 12:31:32

2lt_Scort

Wanna swap door cards then Huw? Mine are cut for speakers already

Rhys

2007/08/03 12:55:57

Paul Dunstan

If I had a set of genuine RS door cards without holes I'b be looking for another set and pack the others away some where! They're getting harder to get these days!

Thats where mine are and I have no probs with them. One person that has been in my RS asked where the front speakers were[88]. Plus Im not a fan of speakers in doors. Even though I don't have to worry about wrecking my ply wood door trim.

Don't cut up your door trim for speakers. They are in frakin' good condition, dont wreak them.

2007/08/03 18:29:07

Huw

stereo plans are on hold for now. after a few drives in mates turbo cars, ive decided that ill atempt to turbo the rs, most proberly a turbo carby set up, as i cant strech to a turbo efi setup.

theres a topic in the turbo section if anybody can help.

cheers

I know I am going to cop a lot of flak...

Do not attempt a turbo setup if funds are tight. Either sell it now and buy a faster car 'out of the box' or work the NA in small steps as funds allow until it is fast enough.

ive been trying to tell him, let alone the insurance for a 16 yrold with a turbo 2 door.....

2007/03/13 12:23:15

darnoldrs

I will agree, dont cut the door cards if they are still intact. get some others to use.
Also with speaker options, I have mounted a 6x4 keenwood speaker in the original place in the center of the dash, I have wired it to the front left and right+ wires. this gives mostly high frequencies as a center channel. sounds great and ads that little bit extra to the 2 front speakers.[%]
Car looks great and as to which colour is faster, well, undercoat is because it saves on weight if it is not painted. [88][88][88]

2007/03/13 13:00:45

2lt_Scort

I say get some driving experience before trying a turbo

Considering you've just got your licence....you've still got plenty of hairy moments ahead that you'll come across without the need for turbo and if you were in same situation with a turbo....you may not come out of it so nicely.

I'd just start gathering parts slowing for EFI turbo if I were you, every Wednesday when Mr. Woolies gives you a bit extra to play with

Enjoy it for now, don't be like the rest of us with cars off the road or a car off the road.
