i just dunno.............




looking at the ford track day wants me to get an old rwd ford/vauxhall and bang a redtop in it?

mk 1 or mk 2 escort would do you right, but getting a good shell is going to cost you one hell of a pritty penny..

nova's are still banging around and can pick one up prity easely.

saw a yellow harris mk2 escort today was mint and they are a lot of side ways fun

i know, and my supervisor restored a mk1 but never finished it , it was just a bare shell,sold it for pennys and moved to Oz, unfortunatly i wasnt working with this company when he did, as it is now seeminly sitting outside and nothings been done with it.


but i always feel that a mk1/2 with a edtop is sorta like having sex with your sister, you just dont do it

Saxo
Citroen AX
Puma
Fiesta

V6 Vectra might be a good shout, can pick up a decent SRI for a few hundred quid.

Sell the parts you don't need and it will prob cost you less than the other suggestions.

It seems to me that for cheap, fastish and decent handling cars french do quite well, can be fairly unreliable but everytime I have a problem with my corsa I wonder why I dont go french.
