    Pah, you're only showing us the shiny bits... I'll bet that the strut tops are rotten as pears and covered in black underseal....

    Seriously nice looking Mk1, used to woke on them a lot when I was young and you could buy them for fifty quid..

    I will vouch for OGB on this as I have seen this car in the flesh (if its the same one) And it does actually have strut tops made of metal not rust

    Rare breed them! Was there a 'fair' bit of welding involved getting it up to that condition? Must be a nightmare to get hold of replacement panels

    the car was owned by mick in milton keynes{ is it the same one} no welding apart from all the fabrication work ,built from mint shell. now has my reg number on.mick beat the zackspeed escort arround the nurenburg track buy 10 secs and took the record.

    very quick car,makes me smile just before i fill my pants.
