Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]
Discussion
As a student in London, I had no money and wasn't aloud to buy a car after I passed my test.
So I immediately went out and purchased a Ford Cortina Mark 3 for £150. 1600L 4 door saloon.
Picture of my superbly executed modifications below. I was 18 and completed the transformation for the huge sum of about £75 including welding the doors shut, rivets, paint, filler, a tent for a hood and a pair of Ford Anglia tail lights and some fins.
Circa 1988. So I now had a 4 seat convertible.
Chip Foose eat you heart out.
It could be seen parked on the streets of Marylebone and Islington for 3 years whilst I owned it. Usually full of discarded fag buts and some rain.
Perfect car.

Guy Martin’s 778 bhp Amazon
That blew up years ago according to his Autobiography! But maybe it has been sorted.

a little bit to much changes, to track build, but otherwise looks like nice pocket rocket with such Ford Escorth Cosworth engine and AWD and 450bhp Ford Fiesta mk2, it looks a bit like a early VW Golf.

At least it should be reliable. My mate's dad had one of those when we were kids and I swear it spent more time on the drive with its engine out than it did actually moving.Talking of S2000 engine swaps...
