hi there, this is my first car its a 1980 Ford escort estate the only mods to it is the black bonnet as original 1 was rusty and this one was brown. some 6x9s in the back still figuring out where to put the front speakers and some 17x7 tsw mags which i hope 2 be replacing with superlites very soon as these r to big to lower it on, cheers

all coments welcome

thats cool man the rims really compliment it! dont lower it lol

anything powerwise done/planned??

Wicked i would love a wagon to cruise in

Ah the chocco brown vinyl seats - happy memories of jumping into the car on a sunny day wearing shorts and getting fried

Love the estates. Always wanted to get one, lower it and get "Low Estate" numberplates....

A good step is 32/36 Weber on a GT manifold and extractors. Lots of power gain for not many $

cheers for the coments

Sterling yer the rims look gud but there to big they rub everywhere even with the guards rolld they where second hand so have the wrong offset nuffin done powerwise at all planing on puttin a 1600 in it was gona do a 2lt but the work requird and fiding the parts i decided a 1600 would be eazyer

Avon yep love those summer days

If we had estates in Australia I probably would have chased down one of them rather than the 2 door I eventually found.

I am with you teds, get some superlites and lower it.

As for the front speaker location, check this thread out:

I would like to try something like the above at some stage.

Cheers.

yer seen that post sounds like a gud idea 2 small problems estates have mk1 doors so the pods would sit up higher and foul on the window winder unless i made the pod curve down so it was on the netal at the bottom of the door

Sweet Estate teds, Welcome.

Same here, I reacon they're mint. I like wagons, I'd have one as my daily


teds the car looks great

well if you ever plan to sell the rims give me a pm...

and what is the motor right now? a 1.3?

put about $500 into a 1600 and it can be a load of fun

speaking of which i have a good cond 1600 for sale... not urgent

maybe there is a way of fitting spacers and such to get some speakers in the front kickpanels?

cheers
