Good luck mate you've gotta go with what's right for you.

As Vista & the others say, it depends on your reasons & what you want to do with it.

 

If 90% of the weekends are road based then you'd probably be better off keeping the Mex & carrying out sensible mods.

You can still sprint & hillclimb it, there are plenty of cars that drive to Gurston or Castle Coombe, lob out the back seats and spare wheel & have a go.

 

If you get hooked then think about a change.

 

There is another option - a non Ford (ducks for cover) sprint car, there's some very light nimble Novas & Pugs out there for peanuts, not forgetting Fiestas too.

 

Depends if it has to be OSF...
