I wish I was modding, but most of the time its maintenence. lol.
Escorts and lambo doors dont mix. I've only ever seen it on one and it did look good but a lot of work.

If you need a hand later tonight al, gimme a buzz - Even if it is polishing, not got a lot else on.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

RE: *Member* Clare's Big Ford Escort Cabriolet
Most cars they're apparantly easy but on an Escort there's a bulge between the top and bottom door hinge that gets in the way when you put the lambo hinges on.
Things left to do before Saturday:
Finish attaching handbrake to drivers side and adjust accordingly.
Finish boot. I've removed all alloy plates, clean and covered with vinyl (s/steel look). Just need putting back in. Fake S/S looks load better and cleaner than the real brushed alloy. lol.
Apply some MAXXD stickers.
Give it a good clean.
Take for test drive (hopefully Wednesday meet)

because the doors aren't very tall, you should hinge them on the bottom. bit like a draw bridge on a castle.
turns into stupid squabbles that newth prob sits at home laughs at, calls you all twats and deletes it

RE: *Member* Clare's Big Ford Escort Cabriolet
actuall, because they're small, you have them like a reverse lambo door that went all the way back & folded down flat onto the hood. (when it's down of course.)
