Love the colour, and always preferred the estate version of these, top stuff Ditto.  I didn't realise it was that low until I saw the coke can comparison photo. It is a pain in the rear but worth it. And the colour?? Yep I get that. 1st time I saw it I reckoned "that'd look great on an escort". Thanks Mk1Fish Fitted new inner TCA bushes today. And a new strut top on the passenger side. Driving a lot nicer now. Also I got the loan of a flat spoke RS type steering wheel. I have been told they are nice to use. So I am trying it for a while instead of my Springalex  view thru springalex by quickrack, on Flickr  view thru flat spoke by quickrack, on Flickr  view of flat spoke by quickrack, on Flickr Hmmm. Not sure about that! |
