cool. escorts rule (not quite as much as a coon though) and I used to co-own a '76 Escort L coupe that was driven up fire breaks, through streams, cros country al on standard suspension and drivetrain and never complained a bit. It was me uncles, then my grandads, them mine/my older bro's. I handed over my keys after a few months and he had it for years - it only died a 3 years ago when a SUV driver in Welly tried to get in the back seat without getting out of his car first.
PS: There's also a '77 Escort 45 panel-van in the drive behind my Fairmont - but it's my little bro's this time... am I'm gonna make that baby purr - as long as he pays for the parts!!!!!!!!
PS: me bro threw a Cortina 2L motor and box under the coupe and man did it fly!
Couldn't even feel the road on the tires when screaming down the Wellington motorway!
