[JayT]

Would you tell your woman her arse looked huge in her new jeans when she asked you, even if it looked the size of a double decker bus? No! Why not? Cause she'd slap you round the chops!!!! Its called tact..........

 

[wingnut]

Aye but thats your woman.

if ur game for puttin pics of ur motor up u need to accept the rough wit the smooth unfortunately, its a public forum and everyone has their own tastes an opinions..

respect for the work i can see points i like an points i dont like... credit where credits due!!

and its deffo each to their own, a 13yr old cav turbo isnt everyones idea of a gr8 motor, but its my kinda thing

Dont fret young man there are people out there that will like your car, well I found 1 so far that will be able to look your straight in the eye and say 'I see what you done there' and not laugh.

As people have said its not there taste, their cup of tea etc etc, dont take offence use it as a learning curve, ob you like spending money on a car, happy days many dont, but no point in spending money on something that A. nobody likes
2. its worth fook all at resale, unless u strip it and find a blind man
C. well no need for a third cause the 1st 2 when dam fooking good!!

here is a wee pic for moral support

 

[Morty]

i take criticism very well
but it just seems to me that people like to mouth about a car when in fact most of time there points valid or not
so most people have slagged on the outside of the car? YES
so when i change the colour of my car in the next few months will it be something else to slag

rocko's got a 2tone ford too, you 2 could be buddies.

Build looks good, not sure on the rest.

 

[Rocko]

Rocko had a 2 tone focus, its long gone.

shocked.

 

[CarbonKa]

but remember, the 2 tone work on rocko's was first class.... wasn't it lad?

 

[Rocko]

The best in the land, most innovative paint job of 2004 without a doubt.

It'll be blank cheque for you soon enough Chris, march/april next year.

 

[CarbonKa]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... just sign it and date it mate. lol!!

fancy doing something REALLY silly.....

 

[Rocko]

did the focus go local or did some1 travel for it ?

 

[Rocko]

local, went to a guy in work

 

[Twain]

I would be lying if i said that car was nice. Far too much going on, subtly is the key imo.
You seem to mention not really caring what people think about your motor but have posted various pictures just begging for people to have their wee say. Not sure how someone can really justify spending that kinda money on a escort and still not come out with something which looks, drives and handles better than the factory spec machine. Use up the rest of the black paint and finish off the exterior, and hoke out the parts you replaced with ones you prob get free with a subscription to Max Power. Someday you will see the light and be aiming for a Performance Ford feature and all the stuck on stuff will be stting snug in a wheelie bin where it belongs. Harsh comments but the majority of people on here will prob agree with what i say. Noticed you have only 22 posts so you prob didnt know the majority feeling towards these type of cars on RMS.

sorry to hijack this post, but rocko there will be no boot builds in the new car, weight man think of the weight, just thought I would give you notice on that lol

ok back to the subject, oh no wait lets not!

Fair play you can take the abuse well, its not meant to be an offence everybody on this site loves each other....... sorry had something caught in my throat there, im ok though, nobody is having a go at yee they are just voicing their opinions and giving you advice for your next project etc, so dont take offence dude.
People have different tastes and ideas on how to mod a car, some slightly more old skool, some are just fans of modded cars but dont have a modded car, some go all out, some aint got a clue, and then there are the jap lovers the king of the car world lol only joking but we are up there lol

Be smart, dont take it to heart
Listen to us simple folk, we'll get yee broke!

 

[Rocko]

Holden doesnt do boot builds Lee, he does airbrushing.

 

[tim]

I know dude but just telling yee now there will be no built builds in your next motor, I FORBID IT!!

 

[Rocko]

Yes i know i know

Inside is pretty good, it's obvious you spent a lot of time/money on it. But....why a fecking Mk6 Escrot!?! Worst car ever. I mean, look at the brakes. Seen bigger on a mountain bike. I think the other guys have summed the rest up pretty well.

At least you're seeing sence and respraying and getting rid of the ironing board.

Two-tone on an Escort is so 1980's. Last decent looking two-tone Escrot I saw was my folks old Orion 1.4LX which was red top and grey bottom. It looked sharp. Wee boot spoiler on her and all.

Like mine then, the two tone on them looks the absolute ticket.

 

[CapMan]

Even i had a two-tone Ford, although i actually think i may be better looking than that Escort?
