Despite the technical shortcomings you mention of this project, I think purely from a bling point of view it’s a clear winner!
No matter how well executed a linked solid axle on an Escort these days, it doesn’t raise eyebrows anymore.And who knows,maybe Yonners Dad might come up with an elegant solution to the pitfalls you pointing out.For all we know he is one of those latent boffins who was just waiting for his retirement for the time to put his ideas into practice.
Let’s face it, conversions are not all about achieving something technically superior. A whole host of other factors come into play: It could just be a challenge or maybe to prove to oneself and to others that it can be done, or just wanting to be different.
Those are things to be encouraged IMO.
