difficult one... Personally I'd go for a mk2 over a 3 door...

Seen the Cossie that parks up outside the new weatherspoons in town.. He runs the door.. Was chatting to him last night, reckons its 400+ Mountune built it.. Looks a good one

I put mk2 in there but it missed the option for some reason I'll try to edit it now.

Mk1 thought cos I'd try to get a tax exempt 1.

Mk2 could get a rs2000

3door I already got

Dan,

would you cosworth the mk.1 or mk.2 though.

takes a lot of time/money to convert them,probably need 3 3 doors to sell to get one bought and converted.

anyway....a mk.2 escort for me.

of course I've got too many engines about not too I would do it myself though too much money for the converted ones and I deal with a company that does all the parts - fire wall, 6 link kit, fuel tank

as you can tell I've been in the old school room

I'm seriously considering it,

when I done the advert for the 3door I realised I'll have to strip it though as it's a Q plate its worth far more in parts than complete.

or I can buy a mk1/2 shell to do it on or a 4 door esc.

I've been looking already

I might try get the 4door sell it and get the 2door

do you think it's better to get a shell or complete? as alot will be taken off a complete car but a shell will need to get bits and peices.

well if its bare minimum, then you will not need that many standard bits etc....just the lights,grill etc...

mk.2 rs2000's are my all time best car,the nosecone type, but i could not have one because of the alloy arches on my car, look a bit odd with them, so it depends if you want arches aswell Dan.

hopefully going in for paint etc...within a couple of ,then the building can start.

just buzy with the other car.

he also has an aladins cave full of various parts from nuts and bolts to massive brake kits to rs500 stuff

some of the cars he works on are propper bits of kit
