Default My original plan...but what would u get?

Ok, 2 months ago before i bought the cossie, i was going to get a BMW, sell the shitter, buy a slightly nicer to look at shitter, and get a garage project to spend time on.

What should i get? I still LOVE series ones...ans have wanted to restore one for a fair few years now...also love mk1's tho...

Or possibly, a 3 door project...hmmmm

What BLUE OVAL would u get to pass some time on....i like being busy see

Wasn't sure how involving you wanted it to be I like S1s, and have a Fiesta ZT myself, but just think the power is lost if you want much more than 250bhp or so, it has to be RWD or 4WD for me, if you're going for big power etc.

Depends what you want from the car at the end of it.

I would do another S1 but this time it would be a track car. My next project will be another Escort.

Lol Lee, watch you don't swap too often, you can only sell 6 cars a year before they start charging you tax

I'd say a series 1 mate. If you've wanted to restore one for years, then you should do it
