Any suggestions ?

No disrespect my friend but if you are thinking of changing the look of that then you need to get yourself down to A and E and get your head checked out :-)

. I agree

MRM is a lovely looking car though. But why cut up another really nice car to do it?
Hey, your choice though Alan. Your car.

Thats crazy why did you not buy an arched MK2 in the first place?

[modena green]

dont do it alan looks too nice a car to cut about
if you want it to look like mrm a bit........ stick those useless engine bay stickers on it you bought

[Chesney]

agreed with the above too nice a car to mess with but it is your choice.

It's none of my business...

On the other hand, that looks like a very early (steel rear bulkhead, grey loom tape, metal heater box etc) MkII. The early ones were the most solid too and that car has probably never seen the welding torch at all (or very little).

I have to say I couldn't bring myself to "arch" an original, mint car.
The decision rests with you of course, the thing is of course if you arch it and then aren't excited by the result, then it was all a bit of a waste of time, money and effort. The car is then irreversibly modified too

Get the grinder out son ...

Leave it as it is, it is too good a car to chop the arches off

[Andyc]

Arch it Alan

[alancdavis]

Well Gents,,,Thats a mixed bag of answers with bias to leave it standard, I can see where you are all comming from but I decided to go this way as I have always wanted an arched MK2 and could never find one in my price range
Maybe need to give it more thought
Then again cold swap for a arched one

I was faced with the same decision 5 years ago, it was either chop up my RS2000 or find a "standard" car that I could transform, in the end I'm glad I didn't cut up the RS2000 as it was too good to waste and in the process I have saved a standard escort that I'm sure would now be on scrap pile if I had not bought it (and I've now got 2 escorts so I'm not complaining ).
