hey I knew id seen your car before, it was at the escort agency that I seen it just as a rolling shell. I went to see martin about an escort I wanted to buy and I saw it up on a lift and it looked amazing, I live 10 Min's away from narbeth. did I see you driving through pontypridd in that a week or so ago? behind another retro car.. I just caught a glimpse of the back end and I thought I know iv seen one like that in martins garage I wonder is it the same one lol.. the mystery is solved. Yes that was me and my mate he has a blue Mk1 Escort 4door 1600x/flow he lives in pontypridd and i live in Treharris 4 miles up from Pontypridd. Did you buy the Escort of Martin which one were you after he has quite a few down there. That monza Green one is mint condition expect thats worth 20k

i don't have that kind of money lol. i was looking at a rs2000 that he hadnt worked his majic on yet so it was slightly rusty and average condition. i didnt fancy the welding i had to do so i waited for a while and the prices werent getting lower so i got a chevette for £300 and I'm putting a 2ltr in that instead. I'm in uni in trefforest thats how i saw ur car and very nice it is too. did martin make the car from scratch to finished state? did u supply shell or engine? or does he do the whole car for u at great expense?

Yeah I got fed up with the amount of work on mine Wayne and decided to put it on the shelf for a bit. Just as soon as I get my Pop MOT'd I'll be cracking back on with it. It only needs paint and screwing back together now.
