Default Big Thanks to MIKE HALL for his help with my RWD Escos

Right Then folks, jus a thread to say a HUGE thanks to Mike Hall for travelling up from stoke to fife scotland and staying with me for a few days to put my RWD escos together, i have always built my own cars in the past, my 183 mph 3 door and my 10 sec escos and most recently a shortened landrover discovery...but to be honest i cant be arsed anymore so asked Mike if he fancied a trip up to help build this, so he was up for a few days and blitzed through it inc doing a 16hr shift one day

iv posted this up because i,m not taking credit for this build i had fairly minimum input while he was up and have to give Mike credit where its due
some pics...cos i know you like pics and i like showing this car LOL, first one mike in drivers seat fitting the stack dash
