Introduction

Hello and welcome to the site. This was originally a website in its own right and was set up as a result of hours (by that I mean years) of bashing my knuckles whilst working on my own vehicle and trying to fit parts to it from other later cars. I had been building and modifying my own mk3 Escort for quite some time and incorporated into it many of the updated features of later cars. I therefore discovered first hand the many problems and pitfalls that lie behind even the simplest of upgrades and know how to overcome them. As there appeared to be a lot of interest in these subjects, I have decided to set up this site so that anyone else planning similar conversions can learn from my experiences and hopefully help solve a few headaches. (what a hero!)

However, this was some time ago now (best part of twenty years ago!) so a lot of the alternative parts will now be scarce. Due to the rising values of original Mk3 Escorts you may not want to modify your car now. I have also seemingly lost a large number of the original images some time in the past so some sections are rather thin on photos for which I apologise.

But this site still provides an interesting nostalgic trip to what we were doing to these cars at the turn of the century.
