Yeah trying to sort out some better pics now! The sierra sits a fuck load lower on 18"s from the rally spec Escort Cosworth, but thinking of caging the interior as well

The mk1 now has a cossie lump
de bumpered and thinking of respraying it just grey primer and doing it sarrrrf london stylee!

Used to modify models all the time years ago, still got an unfinished Escort Cossie knocking around... bit more work in that though
