How much mate nice motor

 

Your having it 2wd
good call imo esp if between 330 - 380 very useable and plenty of fun

 

what happend to the fiesta turbo engine you was building??? lol

 

If this turns out anything like the Escort of yours then I expect it will be immense!

Just a thought though- make the most of it as it is as its in its most reliable state

 

clarke, still on...

coupe, cheers mate, it should be better than the escort, gonna go for same sorta theme, nice little carbon touches, black and white rather than the black red, should be good

cheers for the comments will get a build thread up soon, gonna be a long term project so will leave it a while and take pics as i go

 

Brilliant base to work away on buddy, the leather looks mint..


Cheers,
Grant

 

looking good mate.

 

Good choice of colour and spec.

Good luck mate! Great opportunity to learn more off dad (not meant to be condescending). It is important to have a family projects.

 

Awesome car, Jim! Absolutely love it...

Benni.

 

Love white saffs, get some 17" Rondells for it for proper old school mintiness

 

ta again you lot

lincoln, tbh it will be a nice project for all of us, get my brother in on it as hes becoming more interested in cars, when we go to brunters he can drive it and experience what i have when building my old chaps car, good to have something like this to do on the weekends

will the car will be going on black, or very dark grey dymags

 

Good to see it getting built back up jimbo

 

Jimbo,

Nice buy mate.

 

whats happened to the escort? wernt you building a cvh turbo for it?
saff looks like it will be fun, good luck

 

looks cracking jim
