Default Skyline powered escort

Hi all I'm trying to find out if anyone knows where the rb25 powered escort went that mark built and owned on here (driftsaph24v)

I have been through most threads and tried to get in contact with mark but no joy.

Would be very interested if new owner wanted to sell.

This is what it looked like last year. Did a few track days and couple of thousand road miles.





This is what it looked like when I got it.

Don't beat yourself up man. It's been hard work nearly sold car a couple of times. It's got a nick name. The bitch! Still needs a bit of fettling but I'll get there soon enough. Mainly Trackday car but in the future I want to do hillclimbs and sprints. My good pal has a well sorted track e46 m3 and I need to put him in his place. I got him in a straight line but it's just a development race. I only live half hour from caddy so that's where it goes down. I've wanted to post on here for a while but just too many idiots. One day I'll put a thread up.
