My Escudo Project

[Rogan]

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

decided last month it was time for a colour change and maybe do a few more changes for the winter so was gonna aerosol it white but decided against it, so after a week of painting shutters in work red, thought there plenty of left over paint! loll








decided while treating it to some new paint it was snorkel time!


Also invested in a new bumper and winch and some new tyres just before christmas So it currently is looking like this>


Its got a 2in body lift but i was out last night and i think at one point the tyre was still catching so might have to invest in the 3inch body lift but does anyone know if that puts me into problems with brake lines etc??

Welcome and that red suits it alot better then that black! , and i love that quary jet wash

Nice build always good to see how vehicles evolve over the years of ownership! Does look good in red!

And likewise I wish I had access to one of those jet washes, I think it's the bane of every offroader having to clean them down after a day out!
