Well, I'm thinking it might be time for a change.
I've definitely decided on going further down the rally inspired route.
As above; full rallies will be beyond me time and commitment-wise but sprints, hill climbs and some local outings (Oulton drift circuit, Curborough etc) are all do-able.

This has got me thinking about sorting the YB out that I've got tucked away and then going the whole 9 yards on the Sierra (group A style), but the Mk3 RWD Escort shell I have at my brother's place keeps nagging away in the back of my mind (see P1 of this thread for a pic). I've got no end of bits, plus the engine of course, that I can chuck in that.

I'm pretty keen on the whole RS1700T story/history and having failed to get one replica fully off the ground a while back, think it may be time to move on the Sierra.

Thing is will I regret it? The Sierra is the next Mk2 Escort (everyone had one, and now only a few can afford one) so I know if I sell that now, I'll probably never have another, and definitely not as clean and rust free as mine.

The other thing is I've built it up to a nice spec as it stands. I know I'll never get my money back on a complete car, but think I'll have to break it to make it viable (and get a budget for the Escort). I'm not sure what the market looks like for a V8 Sierra, even with 480bhp...

Anyway just getting my head round it all. Can't have both. Any advice? Do I sell, break, or stay with it? I enjoy the building and researching almost as much as the driving! If I had a bigger garage and more cash I wouldn't have to worry about it!

Cheers
