              Wipac clear lenses lamps, they're not expensive and fit the Escort bowls.

                  Hillclimbs and Sprints bud, it is road legal though, I'm surrounded by amazing country roads so it would be ashame not to use it.

                      Good man, I'm just south of Edin now, near Peebles, are you doing Crail in Nov? I follow a lot of the Scottish club rallying, what engine is in yours?

                            Motorsport tools have a grp4 shell for sale, I'm offshore for the Crail rally, XE's are cracking engines, I build a lot of XE's and Pinto's. If you need anyone to mechanic for you give me a shout.

                              Lovely looking car, seeing finished projects like this make you realise that there is light at the end of that seemingly endless tunnel!

                              What seats are those, they look nicely of the period.
