I popped over to see Andy last week as I was down his way
The fab work on the shell and cage is awesome proper top notch.
And some off the mods andy has planned for the car are going to make it one of the best modified mk2 escorts in the country. ...Fact

Also thanks for your hospitality Andy you don't make a bad brew

Andy, speak to Andrew (AG) and get him to make you up some lines like he did for me, they look great and are a hell of a lot cheaper than buying all the stainless fittings etc
