Dales orange mk2 daily
G'day, Just thought i would take some pics of my eski. Its just the basic L model, since buying for $100!! 3 years ago ive made it into a rallye pack, with stripes, seats and taco dash , spoilers and 13x6 hotwires. Its still got the stock original 1600 auto, but am fitting it with a new rebuilt 1600 with oversized pistons, nice set of extractors, and a 32-36 webber. Ive just finished making a 3 gauge set up at school, and now moveing onto making up a set of custom door trims. cheers   www.ImageShack.us' />  www.ImageShack.us' />   www.ImageShack.us' />  www.ImageShack.us' />

Looks good Dale... I like the colour
You sure those hotwires aren't 13 x 7's?

Hey Dale Great to see the ecky. Haven't seen you at the servo lately. Pretty sure one weekend or Friday night you me and Reece will enjoy a leisurely cruise. I just have to do a few mods to mine to not look like the black sheep of the pack  . I like the gauges. Cheers Michael

Looks like you have worked some magic on it!  I am a fan of both hotwires and the square headlights. Why don't you put the rear louvre back on? I look forward to seeing what you do with the door cards.

Great project dale. This is what classic fords are all about. Cheap, good looking and fun (im talking about the car here) Some of us get carried away and spend heaps but you dont have to.

That looks great!! simple, neat and very tuff! Did you weld up the holes for the side moldings? or is the rallye pack stripe just hiding them?
More importantally, What size are the tyres on those rims? and do the front rub on the spoiler at all?
I've got some 13 x 7 rims for mine and you car looks to be about the sema ride height as mine and i've been worred that if i got tyres that look as fat as yours they'll rub.

You got me, the stripe is hiding the marks[:I].
my tyres are KUMHO POWERMAX 205/60R13 86H and dont hit the spoiler but sometimes do scrape the arch around roundabouts[:(!]

thats cool ive got as stripe hiding mine too just not that style, Is that one of the ones off eBay? I want to put the rallye pack stripe on mine but i thought that were the "Escort" wording is would leave one of the holes exposed in the rear quater panel, Are they all covered? and chance of a close up pic of the rear quarter side on to see? Just rub hey? i might look at 205/55r13's then though ive got a huge swaybar on mine so so i might not have as much body roll? I've gotta say it again, thats one tuff looking car!

ahh... yours were stuck on, mine had the factory bolt on strips so ive got actual holes left to cover up.
this is how mine is now (not very tuff compared to yours]. The front looks higher than it is because of the slope of the drivway too.
