Thanks for the replies guys

I love the 3dr. Its my favourite although I rarely drive it as I want to preserve the condition/mileage. In my defence though I have always had another car/RS while owning it so I still get my kicks. I used to own a 2wd Saph that I ran everyday so the 3dr is just a summer day, show car.

Wheels in the first two shots are what's currently sitting on it now. I sold the other set as I was bored of them. They are TSW Hockenheims. An old rim that are no-longer made and quite hard to come by as they have a reputation of being weak. Ideally i want some Compomotive CXN's but they are £1700 for the wheels alone!!! [:u]

No pics of the transplant yet as its not begun. I have the car, engine, gearbox & loom but thats the easy bit. Getting it all to fit and with an axle that can take the abuse is where the fun starts.

Mark, I would love to find you one and help get it shipped over. Going in yours was one of the things that made me want one. I had always wanted one anyhow but after the drive out in yours I was hooked.

I will have to find out the tyre sizes boys as I'm afraid I cant remember off the top of my head. They do get comments from the old boring concoarse sods over here though that think the car doesn't sit right on them [x2x] No accounting for taste hey!

Hi Kieron anyone with ron in thier name must be good. Nice cars you have. I too am a member of turbosport. I go by "ozcapri" and the members list thinks the o is a zero so I always get pole position when I sign on bumping 2quick4u down to second. I am always amazed at the rust repairs going on you guys are the rust repair capital of the world. Regards,...Ron.

Couple of awesome cars there. Welcome to the forum.

Mark got any pics of your 3dr mate. dont think i have seen any on here.

Happy days. Like I said on the other thread I cannot remember even going in it then but it sure does look like me. Must of been one of the early ones when I had my rs2. I have a couple of pics of the track days kicking about too, although they are mostly of me [:x)]:

Sadly I lodt most of my old picture when my last pc went belly up! :(

You posted them BBQ pic on TS a couple of week back I think. Great laugh . I had just got off my crutches in them from my accident and wasn't supposed to be driving or owt. Thats why I look like a beanpole.

You dont have any other pics of VAA floating about do you? I have bugger all as they all got lost. I dont have a single pic of the old pimp mobile either.

Welcome Kieron. Thanks for sharing. i do like your taste in automobile.

The MK2 Mexico sit's nice but the Cossie is everyone's dream car here.
All the Escorts look spotless, How much extra track in a x-pac compared to a normal MK2 Esky??
MMMmmm X-Pac;p.......(droool)
It shows how much we lucked out with the 1.5 FWD KA Laser. if you were lucky you got twin carb's from the factory down here.

Please tease us settlers some more. With Cars, not green teeth[:x)]
Mark

The X-pack is Marks (2quick4u) so I'm sure there are lots of pics of it somewhere on this site.

thanks for the nice comments. I'm not sure what you actually want more pics of so I have attached a few more of the Mex and 3dr. These were taken in the warehouse here where I work for the 3dr to go in Fast Ford magazine as a feature. The 3dr has also seen the cover of PPC mag and there is a pic below.











and a couple of the Mex from a drift night I done in the pouring rain:





All obviously taken at that very last minute before I spun it!

[88]Some nice angles there!![:p]

Man the 3 door looks great in those shots.

Oh superb, thanks mate! I will try to get on msn but things are looking to get a bit hectic very very soon. If not you could bung them over to my TS addy.

I think I done a couple of track days in VAA and then after that in the 16i. I did attend a couple where I wasn't driving though as I probably had my BM or something and didn't want to track the 3dr.
