Go and have a ciggy so you can stop your hands from shaking, or is it because you're getting so excited with mens bottoms (as I notice that was the most out of focus ) .

Looking good, my only question from a non qualified perspective....... is it exceptable to have pressed bends on the main hoop? I would have thought on a roll cage would have to be mandrel

if a inlet at much less of a cost works well enough why spend 4k on a different one ?

would the difference be worth the extra ?

I'd say it was more camera settings personally. You can't talk though, your pictures are always grainy

Looking good Dave.. If I were you I would change the roof skin for a non sunroof type, it's such an easy job in the cars current state.

New or second hand, as I know someone that has a brand new one for sale for a good price, which he bought from me (I'm a Recaro agent ), but never fitted! Has all the bits for Escort fitment .
