Pass thanks!
But i'd still have bought it! (and then probably broken it after a year!
)
Other than the engine, Dave sold over 90% of his last one within 48 hours IIRC, escort bits seem to really fly out the door, so its not much of an issue having parts lieing around.
Anyway, hopefully it wont get broken, as im sure Dave can make that into a lovely car, he's always been good at making them look nice and has a good bodywork guy on hand

Been busy, holidays, camping kids, oh and work lol. Cage is finished, seats in, crumple zones welded up, spare wheel hump removed. Having the strut tops cut this week to take the top mounts and just waiting for the tank from pro alloy so I can get the brackets welded in. Picked up loads of parts, ledas, coil packs, cdi, flywheel, twin plate clutch..... lol never ending. Will get some more pics up on weekend, hope to get the paint organised for september (still not decided on a colour though). Looking for a bias pedal box's at the moment, thinking of running all the lines in braided hose? Looking forward to seeing more pics of your new one, whats the plan with it?
