mines had loads of welding

dont bother me in the slightest cops it was cheap as fu*k (both of em)

least a escort isnt a write off just cos of welding, now mk3 fiestas are another story, when they go they go in a big way!

personally i'd just get a tidy example for sensible money then put the extra wedge into making it better how you want it or build 1 from a minter 1.3 shell and a rotter replacing everything you want to during the build
