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.:eek:http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj415/derbycold/mybaby017-1.jpg
