I aint saying he has spent 37k BUT it looks like it has been done to a high standard like all the engine bay is painted and it looks like a decent paint job and the interior looks like a profesional job so wont have been cheap. HOWEVER work done to a good standard doesnt mean its tastefull and money dont buy taste and that is a twatfull car done to a high standard by the looks of it lol

i wonder at which point he thought. "my car unsymmetrical burgundy car needs a green dragon on the side of it"

should have spent the £37k on cat scans and therapy!

and why is he claiming its and "escort rs turbo" in the title its a cabriolet with turbo conversion and not an RS.

£37k on that. what a waste. He should be sectioned to broadmoor for spending like that

perhaps it's just the quality of the picture, but it looks too bulky at the front and rear

i'm sure it's a ncie car underneath all the additions, but there is too much fast and furious going on
