We have been around for quite a while now and it would be nigh on impossible NOT to have noticed at least one, or more, of our cars on the show scene for classic Fords. Even the cars that are not yet finished seem to have quite a following in the web forums, although some people don’t quite grasp what exactly we are doing. We set out to be different from most other companies, and I hope we have achieved that. Of course we can restore and build standard cars, many companies can do that. Of course we can build Group 4 replicas, plenty of companies do that as well. Of course we can build fast road and track day cars, that’s what the Escort scene is all about. Of course we can build a fibreglass Mk 1 Escort shell with bubble arches, we were the first to do one in 2000 . Of course we can build a fibreglass Mk 1 Escort shell with full aero package incorporated in the body design and in the underfloor. Of course we can build the most radical body kit ever seen on a Mk 1 Escort, with a full chassis and Cosworth power. There is definitely more than one way to build an Escort, or an Anglia, or a 100E, or a ‘59 GMC or .......
Wayne’s Mk 1 Escort project. Fibreglass body, space frame chassis, wishbone suspension front and rear, Cosworth YB power.
