working on this for a m8


Recommended Posts

Hi mate. If you need any advice on colours for paint etc let me know. Ive had 10 mark 2 Escorts (7 were RS models). I had an origional steel Xpack bodied mark2 that was used by Ford as a German Touring car racer. It ran a 2.2 Ford Cosworth with twin 48 webbers 5 speed quick shift and rear LSD. Top adjustable Bilstins and was painted in Rothmans Racing Team Colours. Dont paint it in rally colours as the X pack body kit was never used on rally cars, only track cars. They used Forrest arches on rallies. It needs to look like a 70s touring car!!! face-icon-small-happy.gif
