I remember seeing your car at the Mt. Barker Skate park  Both our cars got some looks with your and my RS Escort's up there by some guy with a Classic Adelaide Hat on. http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8830/eskyrs1980fl3.jpg EDIT: Forgot this site is HTML only...

CHEERS!
Yeah i am very happy with it! I have only owned it just under a year. When it came to its new home and i washed it, i found out it had a black bonnet which im sure everyone that looked at it didn't know either cause of the 2inch layer of dust haha but i liked it so i sprayed it black again.

Just a quick update. Got some new wheels for the RS on the weekend they are SSR 3 Piece Super Mesh Wheels. They originally came off a Porsche. The fronts are 15x7 with 60mm Dish and the rears are 15x8 with 80mm dish. Just have to get tyres put on them and wacked em on the car. Pics:   Just a quick question will 195/50/r15 tyres fit on a 8 inch wide wheel?

The 195/50/15's fit but they are streched, looks good though. Just need to lower the car but that comes when i get some spare $$$. Put my new 5 Speed quick shifter in today aswell. I put fabric on the dash pad a while back too. I got something for the passengers (and myself [:x)]) something to view on long trips aswell...    Cheers Justin

Those wheels look awesome with the narrow tyres stretched over them. Those wheels suit your mk2 perfectly, well done. cant wait to see it lowered[:x)]
