My Escudo Project
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2013 2:20 pm
I purchased this wee Suzuki a year ago with intention of getting into off roading, I looked around for ages and all i could find was stuff needing welding or complete rot boxes! Then i decided to look in southern Ireland as they got a lot of jap imports in! i uncovered a rust free Suzuki Escudo with a wee 16v engine! after a bit of bantering, she was bought for £270
If it was ever to be a off roader the side steps had to come off before they got dragged off Then i went about lifting it with grand vitara diesel front spring and rear springs as well, which made a noticeable difference 8)
So they obviously had to be tested that weekend
Got bored really quickly of the rough silver paint and thought it needed some satin black and green to liven it up
For the past few year she has done a few off road events and i've had brilliant banter in it, but I've been wanting to do a bit more for the craic!

Always handy having friends working in quarrys to get it washed after all the off road days
