T :clap:

Helios Blue is a super cool colour. I had one once until someone came in the night...

Nice choice 8) Love the the Escort aswell.

hi guys.

infront, shame about the bogey man needing a ride home.

yeah, the rs16i is ok, silver, still on its original wings etc.

after a 4hr round trip, i picked up the golf, drove great and never missed a beat.

will post pics tomorrow as i know everyone loves pics.

needs a fair amount of work, but im not planning on sellin anytime soon.

dreaded rust in a few places,nothing to major, no brake lights, no switch i think, no dash lights at all, speedo was reading 50mph when i was actually doing 80, mfa doesnt work properly.

clutch is high, brakes naf, wipers naff, golfs there the best tho

engine runs well and doesnt over heat, but just seems like it doesnt want to rev easily and i remeber my othersused to be a very free reving engine.

cheers Bryan

Nice one! sounds like a great project. Keep us posted and get some
pics up when you can. And as for the Escort…………………………..
Stunning 8)  one of my fave`s I had a couple of 82/82 XR3i`s one
was near concourse… Nimbus grey with every factory option, wish
I never sold that one .

Best of luck
