Mk4 Escort ST170 - been on the rollers

[rosco]

Just to finish off interior (door cards and RST dash) and few other wee bits, but getting there now

[Belly123]

Its looking awesome lad!! Loving everything about the exterior, the gingers suit it to a tee.
I was never a fan of turbo wheels on a bonus but thats changed my mind

[Big Ian]

LOOKS AWESOME MATE,REALLY LIKE IT

[rosco]

cheeRS

still a few wee touches to do, new plates a good polish/bumper shining

I was planning to put clear indicators on it.....but i'm no decided yet

[gibby]

does look a belter ,

[Ade]

Looks stunning.... but not sure about the ECU mounting

I'd say deffo steer clear of the clear indicators though!

[xclairex1]

Looks really clean, well done.

[rosco]

[redshed]

Looking good mate

[Bex]

bloody hell thats clean!!

[Big Gordon]

Like it mate. Brings back memories, i had a burgandy mk4 with 15" 205 1.9gti wheels on it.

[Kevin_Mc]

it looks brilliant Ross, love it

[SK08]

Cool. needs some proper 90's-esque wheels on it!! Dare i say TSW Venom???

Our pupils at school do a plastering course and the guy who takes it runs an Orion in that shade with TSW stealths on it.....takes me back!!

[SHIFTY]

LOOKIN WELL THAT

[rosco]

been a while since i did much to the old girl, took her to Ford Fair which was faultless but a bit greedy!

Anyway, treated her to new wheels, a four branch, full Scorpion stainless and found out the inlet was the SO one (standard output) so also got a HO (high output) for her, needless to say going a lot better now with a wicked noise as well







wheels came this colour which i think goes quite well with bumpers etc, but i was planning to do them silver - cant make up my mind though from silver, white or leavin them as is! any opinions welcome

[DALSY]

should just sell me those wheels, dont suit the car at all, looks terrible, shocking,

I just PMd Neil too about those MOs thinking maybe he still had them, well thats my question answered then

[rosco]

ha ha to be honest was main reason i bought the 1600i and afraid they aint going nowhere

[Mk3BOAB]

love the sleeper look

[rosco]

well when folk were busy watching the royal wedding, i decided to swap the engine in my Bonus for one i've had sitting a couple of weeks!

Old engine out:


Up in the air:


New engine:


New engine in:




Its an ST170 lump with Weber Alpha throttle bodies, which came from Ade's estate

Its all in, just the wiring to do and few water pipes and alternator - cant wait to get her running and hear the bodies

[Ade]

Nice conversion, I'm jealous already!
