I bet that'll be hard for you after 10years, so you put the escos engine in the 3dr? That was a 500hp motor you put in the escos wasn't it?!
looks perfect on those wheels

How does it fair compared to the 3dr bud? I was thinking of selling my 3dr for an escos, but have never driven one,

To be honest being rear wheel drive it will drive differently from a 4wd car, &
Everything on the car now is from my 3dr so it's all familiar to me, the car feels more stable & sure footed than the 3dr but being on a base map not pushed it.

Looks very nice and not knowing your old car from first glance at the engine looks like an internally gated GT30 and Hart inlet? Presume it's a pretty decent spec! Hope you enjoy fella.

Nice one Len,I posted on the rsoc site but you have answered my question on this site..lol.
It'll be a nice change after 10yrs of the 3dr and on MAD management now,will be awesome.
I was looking at this car on pistonheads a few weeks back,if my 3dr had sold I would have been interested in this,looks very tidy Len.
