Crustywhips mk2 Escorts from ages ago

[crustywhip]

Digging through some boxes and came across old photos of my old escorts. Looking at these makes me wish I looked after them but meh, had fun and shit was cheap back in the 90s.

This was my first. Run into the ground delivering pizzas and had loads of fun in it. This was the first car I built an engine, cut springs, went through the pains of getting a wof and crashed.

The day after my spin out on the motor way.

The brown one was another. This was 2litre and loved gear boxes. This had capri struts aswell Was super sweet and went very well. I hated the sun roof and it was 1999 so modgies were still a pass.

Brought the green one for $300 I think. Was pretty tidy but frikkin slow. Another 2 litre was fitted and sport running rear aslo capri front struts were added. Had some head work done and mucked around with the carb. This was a rocket ship and would eat WRX and Legacys in town. Modgies again lol. The set of eagers were sourced from different parts of the country haha. My last set.

Brought this one for some reason. Some ones half started project but the engine bay was like new so I got it. This ended up heading over seas I think and sold through the tne. Was a sweet runner.

Another 2 litre escort that was stripped of its running gear for another

The camera I had was frigged and why I stopped taking photos. This was opposite the porirua wreckers behind the bushes and a source of needed parts. escort and 2x capris were here for a long time. Another mk2 2 door was just out of view.

Hope you enjoy and have a little laugh like I did. Got a few other pics that Il post up later on and remember these were days where wreck cars were every where and if you needed parts you were either given a complete car or went and found a wreck some where and got what you needed. Whitireia Park was the best play ground while growing up.
