Yet me and mark love it and thats why we brought it

The new engine spec makes it a little more special to us and when marks collected the bits for what he wants to do over the winter it will only get better

Adam.

Is it not up for sale now?

xtatiana01x

No not at the moment

We was thinking of selling it awhile ago when mark was doing the new engine, but not sure if we could part with it

The new engine cost bucks to build

Fullflush

I'm not sure what looks worse, this or that black Capri??

As long as your happy though.

Adam hows the fezza running now adays?

steve st220

it's a quality car and the build quality is second to none, park it in a row of everyday
cossies and rs turbos and see which car gets the most attention!

i know the work thats gone into it as 2 of my mates built it for a customer.

Adam.

All good Tatiana, had a problem with it eating fan switches and overheating, but sorted that now just having fun in it lately, enjoying people flying up behind me trying to terrorise me......most get a shock, did get terrorised by a stripped out mugen power civic the other week upto 030mph...., it was abit of a weapon!!, but we gave each other the thumbs up and a smile at the lights and went our seperate ways lol!

I think it looks good!
Didn't mk3 Gartrac Rally / Rallycross use similar arches?

skippy,rst

I quite like it, very different

Nismo

Looks good, get a set of banded steels on it

JPW01

I think it looks really good, and for those that dont like it you can say it without the rudeness. I have just joined this site to see how certain people talk to there fellow members, Poor show.

Just the reason why I got a bit angry. Don't be put off though, majority are brilliant. When putting together the Berks/Hants meet that's 1 thing I worried about what about if we had people like that turn up but go to the thread on it in south east meets and read what people thought of eachother! So it just shows it's a selected few lol

xtatiana01x

Not sure but it was the guys over at old Skool engineering that made these bad boys lol

I like it. Got to say though, i agree it would be better if it was RWD

mechanicalrepairs

Me too, looks different and very good job has been done blending them in from the looks of it.

I saw it in the flesh at Ford Fair last year and I loved it tbh, looked really well done and nice to see something different

steve st220

correct, all hand made at http://www.oldschoolengineering.co.uk/

cossiestu

Cool, glad I wasn't imagining it!? Got various books on Rally Escorts, ill have a look...
You mentioning RWD, makes me think I was thinking of some of them used in Irish Rallying, with RWD cars...

j20rmc

Car looks great!

big_wig_074

A set of staggered revolution 15 inch rims would look good on this if going bigger but I like it as is, cool wide arch old fords are ace

xtatiana01x

Thanks guys, in the flesh it's a stunning car....
I'm finding it a bit strange that there hasn't been another reply from the thread starter? Lol

mentalasanything

I personally don't like the arch/wheel combo, but each to their own. I do however have to admit I can appreciate how well executed it is and extremely well made. Amazing condition.

I am with Big wig.

Revolutions, darker centres, polished rims with wider rears would be absolutely perfect, and era correct too. Or maybe I am biased as I have them on my car!

I think the car is great, really individual, but the wheel choice and size is a little 70's for me. 15 inch Revo's would be all it needs! 80's wheels for an 80's machine!
