    Mk2 escort chop

    finally, a decent car to chop

    im not to sure about the funny stripy paint, but it sorta looks cool

    i think it's fairly clean, and i wanted to keep it simple, also it is hard to change the bumpers etc over cos it's an old school car, but it looks cool like it is anyway!!

    Cedric - I sound like a chipmunk on there. Some friends of mine were like, "were you going through puberty?" I was like, no I was already 20, I just sound like a girl.

    I agree the orange one does look better, but your chop is good

    Technically good, but as has been said before there are some cars that you shouldn't chop or be allowed to chop and Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts are in that group !!

    Mate was telling me that there is a move to start an Excort Mk2 rally championship as a "cheap" starting rung.

    The problem is these cars are being made in Indai/Indonesia/Malaysia/somewhere to full rally specs complete with suspension, shell and engine mods as per their peak and will cost 30,000 POUNDS each. Not quite a cheap start !! ( But as a well-used A110 GrpIV will cost double that and will be tattier ... maybe )

    I've not been able to find anything out about it, so if anyone finds a link give me a shout please.

    dam shame about the price that sounds great, do you think that you would be allowed to make you own car prepared to the same speck, that way it might be cheaper

    That's why I asked and I'm hoping some other UCPer might have come across it and tell us all.
    I did a google search and waded through pages of links with no luck

    I know, but it's like wanting to add fake breasts to the Venus De Milo !! Some things should be left alone because they are just SOOOO good
