Default mk6 escort rally car project - (more striped out)

Hi all, well here is another little project of ours! Since i was young (younger) me and dad have all ways wanted to build a little rally car! So since i have started working, we have been looking for a 3dr mk6 escort! After a bit we found one on the 1st of feb, 2015! The car was 6 hours away though be we went for it! We bought the car and drove it home! (Some of you may have seen my couple of other threads about mk6's, this is not that car but another one)

A quick pic of on the drive back home

That sounds like a good plan! All though Wales does have some good roads for rallying!

Hi ya matey, how you been? Well the plan is to leave it as a 1.6 over here and just have it for a bit of fun ( as you can't do a engine swap here by law) And when we move back next year prob drop in a zetec turbo! And then have some proper fun!
