Thats mark delacqua's daughters car iirc (spelling?)the green one its actually road registered. he was the first to do the clevo escort conversion i think he still does them though. theres a big big history and story behind that car and the authorities in particular.

PS. Working on a very tight budget so no suggestions on $15000 crate motors!!!! Thankyou
The V6 Capri engine or the 5.0 litre Wndsor V8, I'm thinking they'd both fit in without too much hassle. The V8 will give you more scope for power later though.
