well apart from the dash, it just looks the same as every other 1.1L escort with a set of bubbles and wheels. (5 stud might give it away though)
sleeper wise, that would depend how load their stereo is and weather they can hear the engine thats going in it.

Kadett coupe? I see your sig says www.chevetteownersgroup.co.uk , can I tell from that you are a vauxhall enthusiast? only cars in this post are a BMW e36 compact, a BMW e36 coupe, a Mk1 Escort shell, a Mk1 Granada Ghia coupe, and a mk2 Capri......no vauxhalls what so ever. |

Loads of infill to do on the rear end... Unfortunatly, the wire speed has droped to a snails pace on my mig, so I'm gonna have to get a new motor for it...anywho Passenger side, I'm yet to attack  Drivers side, made a start, and now the rear quarters doesnt flex leterally like a floppy cock    |

Your fab skills are awesome fella  I remember years ago,reading about a German company,that would drop any shell onto any pan.They had some proper mad ones,that included a widened mk1 golf shell on a cut down Cossie chassis. |
