I have also seen a mk1 escort shell he did and it was a load of crap, the owner of it uses this forum as well and ended up having someone else finish it.

Personally my opinion is that in some cases he will turn out a good job and not mug you off, however if your like the guy wanting the fiesta done or like my mate who both are(were) new to the scene it's easy to bullshit them into either spending too much or sorting them out with not what they know is actually any good.

We all know A1 have built some good cars but knowing what I do if I had the choice it's not who I would spend my hard earned money with.

if it was me i would use only ag if it was to be a full on track car . i was going to use andy , as i no his work and also i like him, hes a top chap .
i only used gordon vincent as i wanted the car built to rally car spec rulles as gordon has done loads of them now.

i never even thought of a1 when starting mine .

thanks steven
