Paul sadly not allowed as it ain't my car.

Yeah the jag engine was removed 15 years ago aafter the last race then thundersaloon were stopped. Has been in a garage since the owner bought it off the origianl owner after its last race.

Is a mental car. Has a metro 6r4 back end.

Pictures can be found on google by searching wildcat escort thundersaloon.

No build thread will be started sorry as it ain't my car.There the rules sadly. And the owner has no time for the interweb

Mat, I did a resto thread on another car.

Send pics to me as and when the build starts and I'll do a rest post for you if you like?
