Hi all,


Couldn't live without an Escort so i went and got another :P

I have recently purchased a mk2 4 door ghia off a relative as I am just about to take my WRX off the road for some refinement (rwd, 2.5L drift machine).

Its in very standard condition today and is in quite good nick as well.
I think the only plans i have are to:

Replace standard radio
Get some Venetian blinds
*maybe* get some superlites
Lower it an inch or two all round
White walled tyres


Dont want to touch it really as it will be cheap to run and should be reliable. ( I also made a mess of my last RS2000 which was super unreliable and used way too much fuel so i'd prefer not to go down that route as thats what the wrx is for!)

Anyways here are some pics..Enjoy!

Very nice. Good too here your bored silly driving a 4wd[:x)]
Use the reliable WRX for the street and drift the Esky.

I have a Venetian blind to suit a MK2 if you can't find one.

Good luck with it Reece

Rhys what a great car. Good to see you're being sympathetic to its originality with the tidy up. Wheels are a tough decision - maybe some 13x7 Hotwires /Dragways / Spitfires?

take that front spoiler of it chuck some 13*7superlites on it lower it 2 inches all round and bob is ya uncle. thats exactly wat i want to do to a silver 4dr[8)]

very nice mate.

very nice mate.

I have been looking at it for a bit today and I think I will leave it as is. I might powder coat the wheels a gun metal grey and whack on the walls and see how that goes first.

Will look much better ONCE I source some round head lights and drop it an inch or so.

Very Nice. I have started my stopwatch and will be timing you to see how long it takes before you go for some performance upgrades. Extractors 1.5 months, straight through exhaust 2months, twins 3 months.... [88][88][88]

Hahaha no mods!!!

The wrx will be my modded toy, aiming to have a driftable, 11 sec wrx which i can do everything in hahaah

Looks pretty clean.

...With the Subaru, do you think the standard rear diff is going to be up to the task when you go to rwd ?
