1989 Ford Escort L review from UK and Ireland
"Good first car economical, quite pokey"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet needs a new clutch soon.
General comments?
This is my first car and I'm quite impresed. I have done quite a bit though I've put a K&N airfilter and a back box on it which has helped increase the performance. I have also had a escort illusion/cosworth kit put on it, it now looks wicked.I've put some rs turbo wheels on it and now want to get it lowered.
