Such a cool car! ... You still going down the Motorvation route with it?? the front has been removed and the old front valance has gone getting a little behind at the mo but still hoping for the spoiler and skirt route.The grubby bits need doing first though (tunnel the rear arches fix steering help with the cooling.

Wow, that looks a bit special. I think these cars look way cooler than the contemporary Escorts, but that may just be due to Classic Ford Mag forcing them down my throat for too long.
