Default Now Owner of my first ESCOS

BIG UP TO TONY @ TOURING CAR SPARES

bought his Group a Escort Rolling Shell which is so bloody light.
helped getting it ready and got some 9x18 Team Dynamics rims with slicks on it and billy 909 shocks and group a rear axle.

many thanks just got to decide what one of my engines will go into it.

The car was actually 1050 in 4x4 trim with a heavy quaife box so in 2wd trim could get down to 1000kg i reckon!!!
It will make an awesome track car...


cheers danny
