Love the mk3, if the escort turns out like the Fiesta then it will be a lovely car. The donor escort looked very rusty.

Looking really well mate, do you have any dimensions of each car? I'm going to rear or 4x4 my escort cab I've had for a long time and this looks a nice option, great thread

Mate that is awesome. Love stuff like this. There's a guy round our way that builds cars to use at our local banger track for the drift nights every week, he's done a Capri 2.8 that's actually a Bmw e36 328i and he's done a Subaru that's a 328i too. They drift awesome and look great especially the Capri is a favourite
