Default Some RWD Action - UPDATED

Went along with my friend today to Maylum Motorsport to see how his mk2 escort is progressing. Looks pretty good so far. Took some pics.

a 2.0ltr 16v Zetec is going in it. Was in it before as well but that was before we saw the light. The car orignally went to prepfab - never again!!! All the stuff in red oxide primer is what Maylum has done. There's still plenty to do, full FIA approved multi point roll cage, fire wall and rear axle to sort yet.

That's what I thought but it's just the camera angle

Maylum Motorsport were building mk1 WRC escorts over 30 years ago when things like to world cup cross member didn't exist. Maylum make prepfab look like a bunch of amateurs.
