I have seen these plastc pigs over the years and liked what people did with them. Jago Jeeps. Yesterday this one came up on my feed. Tempting. Very tempting but the Blazer is on the drive. I do like them lowered with twin cam type motors. Are they worth having a go at? What is in your hard drive files??    |

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

It was sold. By the time I messaged the seller it was long gone. I would have had to store it, like Dez but got to be worth doing. Regardless....... I was wondering what else you guys could add in about them, either anecdotes or ownership facts. I really like the idea of a slammed one with any of the many quick n quirky options out there. |

I imagine they’re worth more in bits for the Escort parts these days? One pulled onto the Gozo ferry behind us last weekend - had a chat with the owner but he knew nothing about it, other than it was “escort based”   |

I imagine they’re worth more in bits for the Escort parts these days? That is the end of a lot of them these days as its all mostly mk1 or mk2 escort running gear (with some mk3/4 cortina or latterly sierra thrown in the mix ).The adds on ebay trend to promote the ford running gear. There have been a few with V6/V8's but to be honest as they are relatively light (two men can lift a body shell) they do struggle to handle big power and can be somewhat skitish at much more than motorway speeds..  ebayI'm currently sitting in the Jago Factory in Chichester looking at the old moulds outside the Window, have a nice cutaway from the build manual.  |
