thank you very much!!
im not worried about the value of the car as such - i've owned a 1994 1.4LXi escort for 3 years and have been very happy modifying it slowly into a very recognised car on many modified car sites...
the oppertunity was there to buy the XR3i and so i took it but was then told that the car was very rare and mostly unheard of and would be better kept how it is...
i understand if this is so and totally respect it and if so will tidy the car up to be a fine example... but i would now like to concentrate on tidy modifications and want just want to know where the line is... XR3i splitters or body kits etc.....??

lol!!
