	I tried to find a STOCK Mk1 2 door on Google Images and failed. So here's a 4 door. So has it all been done already? What would you do with a Mk1 Escort?

	Lotus stylee steels. Lowered a lot. Very very clean. Zetec on ITB's, with uprated brakes etc etc. Basically go for a proper sleeper look.

	What's going on with the US Police style MkIV Escort in the background?! Anyway, definitely some kind of subtle update on early-80's customising, and a V6 or V8 under the bonnet so it sounded right.

	Graft a MK2 front end (square lights, chrome grille surround) onto it, but keep original front bumper.

	NASCAR! Some wide black painted steels (Wellers better than Lotus for this look), white lettered high/medium profile tyres that are just too wide for the rim, stock arches but air damn and rear lip spoiler. Any engine but twin-pipe side exit exhaust. Stripped interior, cage and window net. Not sure on paint but I think a dark colour would probably suit best. Someone 'shop it, pleeeaaassseee!
	Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable.
