love it.

[marky4]

clever bit of kit

[Wessie]

he he, must be a bit mad to drive

[mk1mexico]

hmm looks strange bet it goes though

[Mr Sam]

nuts was there not one a while back or is this the same thing

[Dom]

Yeah it's the same one. Looks the nuts though. I'm not too keen on the way the front panel is sorta cut short

[tim]

4wd mk2 why? best part of a mk2 is the rwd,not even a mk2 chassis,its a mk2 shell on a scoby base

[RChambers]

I appreciate the work that must have gone into that, but that still begs the question WHY???? Surely if you want a scooby you can just go and buy one. Its just a replica Escort imo and probably slower than the equivalent RWD Escort in the majority of situations.

[arch]

in 1 thing thous wheels need to be bined they look shit i dont see the point in tht i bet it weighs quiet abit now i would like to see tht up agaist i ordinarty 1 to see if all tht work was worth it bring on vatanan and the rothmans

[Awesome Al]

Pisses me off a bit, arnt these pepole missing the hole point, IT'S A MK2 ESCORT for christ sake! that means rwd arse out sideways gobsmacking action all the way it just isn't wright.

Have to say though, very clever none the less!

[mk1super]

Well i dont like it, not a subaru just wouldnt sound right, should be the sound of snorting carbs or cossie popping and banging.

[RedditchJay]

mmmmmmmmm like it .......... its still a MK2 . . . . . and goes like stink.... I now its not a screaming BDA / BDG but it makes a very comp rally car...

[Danmex]

its still a MK2 . . . . .

 

Not really its 95% Scooby, more of a silouette racer

[Retromotorsport]

And its got everyone talking about it, taking pics, shooting vids.. and in every frame the cars got a sponsor's logo.. as a getting sponsorship tool its brillient, do I like ... NO..

 

Will it beat a 2wd Escort on Tarmac ... one with equal power, doubt it.

 

Wonder if it will be at The Mull ????

[caprifan]

...its more like an R/C car.....buy a scooby and put a different body on.....sorry but to me a scooby that only looks like an escort ...is still a scooby....

Maybe it's a project you could do in the future Jo, having both and all that! Nothing a bit of copy & paste couldn't sort out!

Just from this sentence it kinda makes me think it wasn't worth all the work.

 

Still it's done properly and is 1 of a kind

 

A mk2 escy shell's better that a huge-ass bodykit anyday

[Gibson]

i personally think it probably would beat a 2 wheel drive one on any surface except maybe bone dry sticky tarmac.... even then the power it can transfer too the ground over the 2 wheel drive one will be a massive advantage... its probably King good fun too drive and looks just like a mk2, therefor looks the nuts.... i mean its definitly not a OSF anymore but as a machine i reckon its Badass

[Alan G]

Well I'll let you know how it get's on over the weekend!

[johnny_h]

Bit off topic but....

 

This one is an STI...

 

 

And this ones a WRX

 

[jay]

nice

[Fiesta Steve]

Best looking Subaru I have ever seen

[johnboy]

Waste of time if you ask me. Why not just rally a Subaru instead of going to the trouble of making it look like an escort?
