I'm getting rid of the 3 door
Bored with modding it and not driving it enough! Running out of things to do as have changed 80% of it already and have stood watching people on track for far too long Time to build a proper track car and throw the chamois (used once lol) in the bin

Did you smash up that RWD Mk4 Escort you had, i'm sure someone posted up a pic of that the other day, might have been you actually!?

Good luck with the new project anyway, what ya got in mind? or is it a secret?

No that was the previous owner.

Although I think Spadge actually owned the car when they did the shoot.

Please don't big it up tooo much guys i'm not planning anything that good honest lol
Paul walking around shows looking at cars at a static show is 'just' bearable if thats all there is to do but doing the same at a track day i can't handle! At the time i spoke to you and even until yesterday i was keeping this car but i'd rather put a shell a bit easier/cheaper to replace on track with my driving than the 3 door

True, that Escort is a bit tasty! Maybe it is too nice to thrash round the track.

Rich - I know mate resistance is futile lol
Matt - maybe that would be a good basis although it needs to be a 4x4 or 2wd not both
Lee - Thats me mate got it in one! I just sweat by bollocks off and piss the wife off building these things to get attention not because i enjoy it

spadge, what about an XR4x4? (throw the engine away tho ) for the bodyshell

if you crash that... WHO CARES and they look a bit better than a GLSi

can pick em up for free -> 200quid

wouldnt take you 5mins to slap a cossie lump in that now would it

everything else sierra bar a poverty spec will cost a lot more and be harder to replace... even a 4x4 ghia saphire will cost more!

If you're serious about that. Paint the car MATT black. Then you cant use a chamois. Plus it will look much better
