I will admit, initially I tried to become a Graphic designer but I couldn't continue studying thanks to the Dominos' Job. I thought that because there are plenty of restorers in my neck of the woods, one of them would be happy to train me. Not the case. Closest I got was an unpaid voluntary position at a mini restorers outside Bridgnorth. Stayed there three months until the money completely ran out & I couldn't afford the fuel to go there anymore (bastard too because a week after I left, a vacancy came up!). I loved working there as the boss had his Grandfather's Mk1 Capri 1600GT Facelift. Capri's my favourite car so I got very giddy when I got the chance to back it into the workshop lol.

 

If i was to become a restorer, I'd love to build "What if" cars. Kind of Inspired by a lovely Princess 2000ST which I saw on the Leyland Princess forum

 

Keeping it relevent though, what if ford made...

 

Ford Cortina 2.3 Injection Sport (like the granada)
Ford Escort 1600 Sport estate (I've seen an RS2000 estate about & I do like the concept)

Ford Capri RS Cosworth (with the Sierra 1993cc DOHC set up)

Ford Escort XRV (more likely based on a Mk3 Escort Van)

 

I'd like to build the answers
