Thought i might as well update this thread rather than starting a new one..

The black one died



not a very good pic, but basically the battery tray was that bad that the rust had spread right across to by the clutch pedal

so i bought this..





Throw £2000 at it and she currently looks like this..









She doesn't look entirely like that actually, i need to strip the bonnet completely, the front and rear xr bumpers ( which i got for a billy bargain price of about 40 quid on egay ) and get them sprayed, then replace the foglights cos 1 broke and they look shit anyway. I've also got an escort 'optional escort' front bib for it - i think it looks kinda similar to an Rs1600i one without the bits that go up the arch !

pics of said bib..





Right.. that's enough of me waffling.. !
