 |
|
Now I've got hold of a workshop, I'm thinking I might get another project going as I have enough room for 2 cars.
But what shall I do?
Another MK1
Escort Series 1 RS Turbo
Opel GT
Give me some ideas

Kadett C with an Xe
Chevette
Camper Van
But your best bet would be to finish the one that you started all those years ago

I concurr!
That would be very cool!
I somehow think getting hold of any bits for it may be an issue though yet alone finding one in the first place!

I looked at the Kadett C's and to be honest it's not my cup of tea.
So many options, I suppose I'll just see what comes up

Yeah, I am tempted by one of those. I think I'd keep the looks standard, but up the performance...
