My first car was a mk2 esc with a pinto 5 linked etc quite a good car for the day....then after splatting it in grizedale forest another mk 2...then saph cos...then esc cos....not had many cars but always built them with as much money as i could afford.....it is the more expensive route building a car but i would not trust anyone else to build a car for me....

Regards
