Thanks but it aint that good LOL....no where near......just an old shitter 
13 rims are ok but u can't stop 500ponies - plain and simple....
As long as the rolling radius is close to 13's i don't see the problem with 15's LOL....they handle awesome - and dont forget handling is how it feels to you as a driver LOL not how its meant to be set up

PF Ben;
My point about not buying your mag is that you can only look at so many cars that look the same before you get bored of paying Ł4 to do so,and the editorial comments were all encouraging people to do the same.
Maybe its just me,but im all for old cars being ressurected,and i will be restoring 2 mk1 escorts this year,but i like to see the shape of say a mk2 escort,but in a modern colour on modern wheels taking full advantage of modern technology i.e. engines,suspension etc.
So your comment about cars staying on live axles,and 13's etc. is saying that these cars should still be built as they were in the 70's,and that is boring to me,as i've seen it so many times.
Its like saying that a focus should stay fwd,on 16's blah blah blah,when the cossie based ones on here are so much better as i'm sure you'll agree
Look at what the yanks are doing ressurecting old shapes with new technology,gt40 etc. thats what i like to see.

As for the 13" rims...whats size brakes are on the front Steve? I thought they were a lot bigger. thought a 15" would have be the smallest you could get on.

But engine 10k, axle 3k, suspension 2k, brake 1.5k gearbox 2k
Etc.....

Can somebody please put me in contact with the owner of the green/yellow mk2. I plan to put a sierra floor/inner wings etc. into my rotten mk1 shell and any info would be most helpful. I went to ford fair and national day specifically to have a good nosey round it,but it wasn't there.
