    Nice pair of escorts you have there. Didn't WPE used to own the gold escort? I'm sure I seen that car at the classic ford show 2011. Was on the strip a lot that day and it's a quick car too.

    I got the mexico back today, had a N/A Y/B put in her, new 5 speed C/R/S/C box, LSD, new suspension and brakes, sending a massive thank you out to wayne at W.P.E who built the engine and the rest of the car for me if you need anything doing on your old skool ford give him a ring top man.
