The things are sooo cheap, indeed i wouldn't let them lie around if the old ones where rusty
That looks really stunning mate, the other cars you had look great too, especially the s1 cab
I love the escort mk3
The underside of the fiesta looks lovely, but how dit you get all the old stuff of the underside? I'm now busy with the underside but it take me ages to get rid of the old stuff
