tbh i see nothing at all wrong with a good replica.

It's the shit one's that spoil it,
I was looking at buying one and putting a zetec turbo in it.

As there is no way i could justify the cos for a daily drive.

Love escos's hate the cost easy as, where as the rep is the look without the cost.
The one i was looking at was mint full ford fitted/painted bodykit and original panel's. Full escos interior and tbh without getting on your hand's and knee's it passed as 1.

But, end of day it's only an escort and the money needed to be spent on it to get it where i wanted it to be was pointless.
