i dont think it has enough power to go the sleeper route, especially the 1.3 badges, as a 1.3 ghia would probably not be that far behind lol
liking the ride height, the wheels, clear fronts, the front bib. your going int he right direction.
could do with a turby lump to make it a very interesting car.

Fast Ford snapper
Love it!
Seems like ages ago now that there were modded non-RS/XR Mk3s kicking about everywhere
I'd keep the XR front spoiler, looks well cool and pretty unusual to see now.
A billion times better than an oil burning Mondeo too
