Stunning Dave

Every car you have or do, always is more than 100% than when you first had it.

Its a credit.

Looks great Dave - very nice runaround!

Would a certain Mullet box be part of the mods for the Escort? What are you doing spec wise with the engine?

thanks lads.

Si,

only cosmetic mods will be getting done.

the new mullet box is the only thing that will different from the last time,no other engine mods,not really intrested in modding the escort cos anymore,the mk.2 escort will be ready in a week or two from getting all fabricated,so will be spending money on that,the escort cos can go out to graze.
