Nice car for sure, think its on Sadev box as well which is probably the equivalent costs to what the whole transmission cost on the EP Escort !
Didn't it win best turned out car at Gatebil or something ? not bad at all if so !
Never met Russ but know some people that do and from what I gather he is mentally into is Fords, the old one wasn't shy either until it was written off, shame this one does not appear to go as well as it looks but its got the right bits so I am sure eventually he will get it handling right.
