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.

who said anything about lambo doors
there are other options
RE: *Member* Clare's Big Ford Escort Cabriolet - Alanman - 02-03-2008 05:34 PM
True. But I've got enough trying to keep it as it is without giving me something else. lol
RE: *Member* Clare's Big Ford Escort Cabriolet - olstar - 03-03-2008 11:24 PM
fair play..
ive been looking at some different ones as i think on some cars they can be easy enough to do, and look bangin
RE: *Member* Clare's Big Ford Escort Cabriolet - Alanman - 04-03-2008 02:08 AM
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.

How about them sliding down Bimmer Z1 style!?

How about no one gives Clare any bright ideas.
Please!!!!!!!!!!
