Well that certainly is a boy racer car. Would we have ever seen you in one Pat?:smiling3:

 

[Guest]

Thanks Steve. Well yes I thought about building a MK1 or 2 as a road rally car, wide arches, big rims in tarmac spec. But I built a MK1 based kit car instead about 30 years ago....

A kit made by Tim Dutton-Woolley down in Brighton, we (myself and friends) built 5 over a period of 3 years all for family members. Red/Brown/White and Dark Green. The guy who bought this off me 4 years after still has it. He's a stunt glider competitor across Europe! My palls still see him at the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show annually!

A MkII Escort. Well that will get all us past owners lamenting the days of fast Escorts and cheap petrol. Nice build Patrick

Dang!!!...I wished I hadn't sold mine but parts would have been hard to come by here.

Cheers,

[Guest]

Thanks guys. Yes Richard it was difficult to find this here, (in the UK) but I think they've done a re-run, and you have to watch out as there is a big variance with prices!

Great work, looks very well made and looks just like the real one

Brilliant job patrick ,just like the real thing .looking forward to the resin rally car now. Ive spent many an hour marvelling at Ken Blocks videos , hes a superbly skilled driver and some of his machines are mental! One of my faves has to be the Hoonicorn four wheel drive Mustang going up the Pikes Peak hillclimb , he nearly has it over the edge a few times ,scary stuff but gets the adrenaline pumping!! Any petrol heads out there will know what i mean ,if not search ken block on you tube and get ready to be amazed, cheers tony

 

[Guest]

Thanks Tony, Ken's YouTube Gymkhana stuff is amazing!
