  • 2013....what are your escos plans, aims, hopes?

    Well as yet another year is upon us I wondered what your plans are for the cars next year? Sell? Buy? modify? Put back to standard? Build a track weapon? Or just open the garage door every now and then for a comforting moment or do you have any personal plans you hope to achieve in life or work?

    I'm hoping to get some use out of mine before our baby boy is born in may and hope to do a few shows too, not planning on spending much on her at all next year as she currently wants for nothing when we all get together we have some great lads on here and we certainly have some simply stunning cars when we put them together on show stands

    For 2013 i am looking forward to seeing Paul's vw camper hopefully finished and also jimbos car done and out as well as lots of other cars that are currently in progress in the resto room at some shows next year be it escos or not. such as Wennys escort and the trolley!

    I hope everybody has a very happy new year and good luck for 2013

          Ive had a few people try and buy mine even thought its not for sale, i was tempted due to lack of use and i feel using it in bad weather will ruin all the hard work etc done by the previous owners. Im hoping for decent weather next year so i can get some good use from it and attend some shows and meet a few people as none of my friends are interested in cars its just me, so tend to just do everything myself and not know anyone to go to shows or camp over etc with. Also hoping to fit some siemens and get it live mapped as its only stage 2 on greens so after my 2wd GT30 410bhp saph it feels plop but looks

                      Well I don't think my car will see much off the road this year which I'm not too bothered about as it'll give me a chance to use my focus and take that to shows, plans are to rebuild my engine maybe up the spec to get to as close to 500bhp as possible, and paint my engine bay and a general bufty up under the bonnet,

                        Just to try and get the poor car back together. Been in pieces for far to long.

                        I really miss driving it.

                            Supra diff in new year and then I'll be looking at a new gearbox of sorts. Otherwise, retrim a little inside and just use it.
