What do you think? Too flashy for a respectable oldtimer? or an appropiate tribute to the crazy sixties? I've to admit that if I owned the car I wouldn't dare to give it that orange paint coat...


So this is a Ford Escort MKI I saw while walking around the Cathedral area of Lisbon. The car itself was so nice to me mostly because it's one of my fav cars, despite looking quite in a bad condition and rusty in some parts thus letting my friends starting to joke with it.
That's what inspired me into transforming it into a flashy, menacing classic and an incredible journey researching elements from different vehicles of the time, ranging from the "big brothers" of this escort (RS, Mexico, and even Capri RS) to rivals such as the Golf GTI or the BMW 2002 Turbo.
Everything is brushed, except for the wheels, the grill, and the license plate.

I like it, but it needs more atmophere

It looks very nice, can you show us the base image?

Since I honestly dunno neither how to put the link of the base I uploaded nor get access to it from my portfolio I just put the link of the photochoperos-hosted basis, I hope admins have no trouble with it and I apologize in advance if being any

That should teach you how to post images if you say you don't know how

As for the chop it looks great
Lovely brushing and cool paintjob
The only thing that bothers me is the front wheel, it might be slightly off and a little too small
But over all cool chop Just a shame that it's an estate

my portugal.......
nice photo, nice CHOp
saludos de portugal

Thanks to everyone, and in reply to you I must say that thanks, I hope to attain the same level of quality on my next chops, but I have a feeling for Lisbon and I don't think I could be any happier with any other background... That being said, I take it as a great compliment

luv it. i love classic car's so cl + your skill - bg = 9/10

Nice.Again I think this guy need promotion
