i think i have the 'old skool bug'

[5tox]

i remember 5 years ago when my pride and joy was a mk3 vaux astra GSI that i was converting to a C20LET turbo, i loved that car and ploughed hours of time and money into her but quickly decided to sell up when my brother offered me his fairly mint Saph cossie... well a hefty deposit (from the astra) and many monthly installments later and the car was officially mine.

I had the engine out and completed a full rebuild costing an arm and a a leg but lately i cant stop looking at mk1 escort pics

 

...Sounds ridiculous but i get in from work and ive got to have a quick flick through the pics on the laptop, while im at work i'm doodling mk1 escorts along with ideas for the project

my missus is going insane

 

People keep saying 'why get rid of your cossie for an old rotten shell' but just cant seem to see the same potential as i do

 

 

This was my first proper project

 

 

 

 

Then my next big build

 

 

 

 

its all been a learning curve but i think im just about ready to take on something a little bigger for my next project

get rid of the jelly mould and get a proper car mate

funny you say that because my brother who's also a mk1 owner said the exact same, along with other things like 'plastic crap' etc...

 

he's the one who sold the cossie to me in the first place

he said its not as exciting as driving a mk1 so im quite looking forward to it!
