i do understand mate, your entitled to you own opinion... i do love std ones but alot of things are often changed for reason etc IMO the std power is too low so gtting up to 400hp makes them much nicer. of course then thatt require better brakes which requires wheels etc... then you have to think about constant wear on rear tyres which is resoved by the beam....

its all about peoples own taste noone is the same... i love std ones but i also love modded ones that are done to improve what is already there...

the things done n mine ae in a way my own choice but in some way ARE to improve it...

that sai many thanks for the support people hoping to get some more sorted this weekend the front wings should be back soon too

most escort cossie's have got upgraded parts,

why not upgrade for better parts like brakes, suspension etc.

do we need to ask for peoples opinions now if we want to make our cars better.
if you want a totally standard model why dont you go and buy 1 and keep it that way? then other peoples cars wont bother you so much

ok small update only got the 1 pic as didn't take my camera , but the rear brakes are back on and also the doors. few other small bits done, my engine has been totally refreshed and fitted up with lots of new parts and is ready to drop in! So all being well next visit will be to try and get the brake lines and get them fitted, gota ring about my fuel cell so it can be sorted... if i can get the engine back in too that would be good great... So hopefully within the next week should not be too far off... Wings still not here just yet so waiting on them a touch too.
