clansman Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 My westy !! or a MK 1 or 2 Escort ............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile E. Coyote Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Seen them in many escorts, I agree a ford is where it should stay. But I'm really into "sleeper's" and think something like a mk1 fiesta. Keep interior traditional to the era with maybe cobra classic bucket seats, matching rear sear trim. Then exterior i would take to SteveD fir a gorgeous re spray... but keep body work as standard as possible. Yes fitting the engine in may be interesting? But a RWD mk1 YB powered fiesta would be amazing. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MK1-FORD-FIESTA-/221268777242?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3384a5991a ? Right colour for a sleeper too...

Wile E. Coyote Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Or even better put it into an old school transit van! I'd thought of that, as a van's always handy to have around, but sadly there's a "no commercial vehicles" covenant where we live... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
