Default Need s1 turbo (good or bad)

Thinking of getting s1 turbo to do what i should of done 10 years ago.Paint it black. Do i just get a mk3 escort or do i just go and get s1. Either way one or the other it will get stripped and painted. The more i look at the black s1's the more i want one. Do we need a black s1 on the scene? I think so. Good times!!!!!

id just get a mk3, if your spending allot money on it & changing colours it wont make much odds whether its a s1 or just a mk3 stripped & raced up

a mk 3 will be cheaper to start with, you can get a minter for under a grand, will make a great base car.

Thats it, you'd have to spend a good few grand to get a decent solid s1 to start with or repaire a rotter and spend masses doing that to get it up to scratch.

The only cudos is that done, it would be a genuine s1 and not a look a like. They do pop up, my old one picutred below sold on ebay the other week for a bargain price and is apparently still in good order, had just been standing a while.

it is just being lucky to stumble across one at the right money.

Buy an S1 rep and paint it? You'll get a good shell and running gear and it'll be half the price
