Default Right after much consideration...




I am goin to put the YB in a mint shell.....mine is just not good enuff hence loosing interest plus being stiffed on the 3dr (and Ferrari diverting me )....after much thought...no one is gonna give me sensible money for all my hard work as i aint a pro "tuner" so will not give it away especially seeing as people would strip it and get it rebuilt...a new fucking engine properly specced to my requirements.....

So please PM traders private peeps me if you have a rolling escos/rwd/rally...would like a nice grp a escos rolling shell...must be RHD........WHAT HAVE YOU?


I hope i cheered some folk up!

Would that be the 3 Door that you had full workshop facilities to inspect, took as long as you wanted inspecting it, bought it and then sold it for what you paid for it ?


The only thing thats stiff is your neck... as its attached to your knob head...

Why would I lie...

I got the 3 door in part ex for my old 500..

I sold the car after a very short period of time to KeithG666

Who was clearly too gay to cope with RWD and Stage 1 power... so he swapped a mint S1 with Steve B... (Ex-Steve @ SCC)

When Steve advertised the car Ima went to look at it and he was given as much time and the use of SCC's ramps etc to look the car over...

He bought it with his eyes wide open...

And now is bitchin....


I'm getting the word..................................... P E N I S !!!

"fastest 3door" seems a better thing to aim for than "second fastest saph" so it makes sense not going head to head with Rod i reckon

Hope you get round to doing it phil, as its never nice to see someone abandon a project unfinished,

PMSL, well my shell is certainly absolutely mint, more rust on the igntion key than there is on my shell, but i dont think Rod will be too keen to lend me his engine somehow!

Only person i trust to build my engines is me, so Phils engine would be worth secondhand parts value only to me, hence i wouldnt give him anything like he wanted for it. (thats not me being funny about Phil, same would apply to any engine i bought without a warranty)

Phil, you know what to do....put the YB in the Fiat and convert it to 4wd.

Escort shell is a good thought too.

Record is 183.0 held by Kev Sharp. Bruce's was an RS500 so thats Deffo a record to go for Phil. The 4x4 Saff is the easiest to go for dont know of one over 177. .
