i mentioned in ur other thread about this car, without a response but i wasnt being funny about it.... i thought a combi only came in a mk4 form, i no of one mk3 converted to combi with the panels, im sure a few others may have been also.... but as far as i knew they were only as an estate in mk3 shape. is it combi on logbook or estate? just for information purposes as regardless of ansa its still an awsome car n will be watching the build thread!

Ill have a log tomorrow when I pick my logbook up tomorrow from my mate, it looks to me like its a conversion but the panels must be factory ones as the panels are proper jobs.

I'm trying to find the engine info at the moment as its been quite modified, at the moment I know the reg of the fiesta it came out of and I know it's been bored out. I've got in contact with the bloke who built the engine but I'm just waiting to here back.
