here is mine
I did wax (Meguires NXT Tech Wax) it a bit, its smooth but still dull. Will silver tcut be ok as thats all ive got?

Both of ours are one off's. Yours is modified & mines standard.

Looks perfect with the decals. Hope I can do mine just as good.

If u go on ebay and type 1-18 escort van there's one on there. this has been converted into one tho companies don't make one so that's why it has been made by hand.

just thought i would let you all know that if you dont hear from me or i dont reply to any pm's straight away it is not me being rude or avoiding you over the next few days but the wife goes in for a major operation wed's mornig so things are going to be a little busy over the next week or too.....
dave is aware of the situation so if you cant reach me let dave know what you need as i will be in daily contact with him and will still be able to get orders ready in the late evenings.
just want to say a big thanks to you all for the support you have given model motorvation in its first couple of months.
there is still a lot more to come from us yet so you need to keep up the inspiration for us
