I was originally going to buy a Corsa Sport when my Mk5 Escort got scrapped. But I couldn't find a good one and then saw this beast.
Started off pretty much like this:
Now stands like this:
Mods consist of:
Half-Tint Rear Lights, Tinted Side Repeaters, Ford Motorsport Sunstrip, Escort Evolution Stickers, Black Beesting Aerial, "Xenon-Look" Bulbs, Philips Bluevision Sidelight Bulbs, Toyo T1-R's All Round, Bluetooth Handsfree Kit, Sony Sat Nav, Tevion Head Unit, 400W 'Subzero' Amp, Mutant 6x9's, Kenwood 10cm Front Speakers, Cobra Alarm + Immobiliser, Aero Wipers, Astra Mk4 Splitter, Mutant 800W Sub + Amp, Drilled Air Box, White GTi Speedo Dials, White Clock, Maplights, GTi Silver Gear Knob, GTi Half Leather Seats, GTi Alloys, Magnex 3" Round Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust, GTi Skirts + Spats, Lowered on Spax -40mm Springs, GTi Steering Wheel.
Thank you for reading

Mine failed MOT on about 11 things, it was an S reg on about 65k  Bought it for £500 I think, this was a decent spec 1.8 16v Si

I preferred Adams on Ronals to Cossies because it was different.

Looks smart. I do like the Escort GTI. Went to a Fiesta meet the other week and there was a mint silver one on its tits.

well its could have been silly things:
1) exhaust blowing
2) exhaust coroded
3) bald tyres
4) coroded brake pipes
5) worn disks
6) bad brakes due to worn disk
7) no handbrake because handbrake cable snapped
8) headlights aim too high or too low
9) few bulbs out
10) wipers dont clean the windscreen
11) wheel bearing gone..
thats 11 things and they can happen to any car.. no matter whats the milleage.

Well yea it was several stupid things such as above, but the labour and parts cost came together at more than the car was worth, not to mention I think a sensor or 2 was playing up due to the engine sounding less than healthy on idle. I would never have another one, not even comfy to drive, back would hurt after an hour at the wheel, think i was twisting to stay in front of the wheel
