Default I'm feeling like a kid at Christmas!

On Sunday i will be the new owner of YUM (Well the shell!)

I've wanted an Escort Cosworth Since i was at school and now finally after over 10 years of dreaming, its actually about to happen!

Not just any Escos either!

Ignore them bud, well done on buying a solid shell, but good luck in making it your own.

I wouldnt like the challenge of making that my car and listening to people say that used to be MAD's etc etc.

But then again if I was looking for a nice shell I would have found it hard not to by it on also lol.

Can't wait to see it on Sunday mate should be good,it's a good starting base but like I said to you the other day because of starting off with such a well known car it makes it harder to start with,at least at shows you will get loads of interest from people wanting to see what direction it has gone with the new owner
