I've just got in after spending the day on my mk2, got the engine and Atlas in today, she's white with a 70's style orange "Gulf racing ala GT40 stripe" over the whole car, 5 linked, comp. struts, MSA log booked, Monte Carlo arches, spent 8 months and Ł9k so far and get this, I've not even driven it yet!
Doing a Tarmac event on Dec 7th so gotta step it up a gear!
Anyone else? Andy

And I remember that my cousin did bought an Mk2 Escort when he was 15, well now he's 20 and is trying to sell it...
