Popular Post philuk Posted December 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2014 not my own car but one i built for a mate, I did all the body conversion and he did the mechanicles You may have noticed that the wheel arches are a tad wider than standard bubble arches, and if you look closely under the bonnet you will see the sierra strut tops, 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Shouldn't that subtle, never-be-noticed (NO!) Mk.I Essie have side stickers as well? Could hardly say its understated - loving it actually. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) 3+2+3+5 = 13 weeks this last year - seemed more to be honest James! Thought you'd go for a GTC or VXR - that looks tame unless its a TD and you've called the guys from Celtic in .... Agreed, would love to see a build thread of that Essie 'Cosworth' 4x4, including the final photos with the side stickers .... Ossum as the 'Mericans say. Al.

atom3624 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 No Al,its a straight 1600cc...fekkin bored to ****e with it.Its gotta go and thats why im going to test drive a VXR GTC after the new year,just fancy one Problem with the GTC, its too American .... too W I D E for UK roads. Brought this to mind ...https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1SAVA_enGB521GB522&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=fat%20bottomed%20girls Nice looking, but typical of many cars of late - too wide for ever-narrowing roads.
