Love the mk3, if the escort turns out like the Fiesta then it will be a lovely car. The donor escort looked very rusty.

Mate that is awesome. Love stuff like this. There's a guy round our way that builds cars to use at our local banger track for the drift nights every week, he's done a Capri 2.8 that's actually a Bmw e36 328i and he's done a Subaru that's a 328i too. They drift awesome and look great especially the Capri is a favourite
