The back mounting on a "REAL" Group 4 Escorts are like drawing 20.

[Frosticles]

Fully agree with you and so my choice will most likely be a reasonably standard Zetec

OK,,, First question on many,,

Did the roll gage fitted to cars of this period have a single or double diagonal on the rear cage ? also were they fitted with door bars

No - too both, didn't even need a diagonal for rally !

But then you could also have alloy cages back in the day !

After the shell was sorted it was given a quick blow over to highlight any imperfections and then it will have another coat of light blue primer

Nice choice Alan, simple livery but very effective at the same time, will watch your build closely when does it commence ?

This is the doner car ,,,, a 1600 sport,,, Chap I got the car from has already done quite a lot of the body work
