Ahhhhhh!! I've always loved this car

Loved the vid too Any more pics or vids?

I was meant to be getting a 3 door MK3 1.3 (few threes there lol) myself a couple of years back, but my uncle was desperate for a car so he had it instead with the promise that I'd get it once he'd sorted himself out with something else... But the git blew it up and promptly gave it to someone else!

Best sleeper i also reckon that stock steel weels are the best choice for ulimate schock.
I hope it's performance will be shocking for some people.
What do you expect performance wise from this car whit all the mods and weight loss??

about 480 bhp mate, until i decide to go t4, then towards 600
as the turbo i have at the moment restricts it. the engine was bilt for 600 by joe stevens at blue sprint

How light is the car when it's ready for use.
What are performance stats for the car 0-60 mph 0-100 mph etc.
And what is your chassis setup and what sort of springrates and coilover's do you use??
How fast will it be on a racetrack??
You use stock esort coswort running gear or have you modefied your running gear?
What sort of gearbox do you use?

not sure of its weight but im making it lighter aswell soon with polly windows and fibreglass bonnet and tailgate, ive never been on a track in it yet and its all sierra 4x4 chassis gearbox and running gear
the best way to decscibe it is like a remote control car, with a shortend sierra 4x4 floor and chassis with the mk3 escort shell on top lol,
