I've been in to older Fords for years so I'm used to having no features and lots of rust!! I still own an Escort RST but the BMW is my daily driver, and I'm loving the build quality and smoothness of the engine
Needs a bit of paint on the plastics as they've been sprayed before and are peeling a bit in places, and maybe a good machine polish as the roof and boot are a little faded, but it's not bad for a 20 year old. Only bit of rust I can find is in the passenger rear inner arch, but I know this is a common problem. The drivers rear inner arch has had some work too but it seems to have been done properly, so I'm happy with that. Underneath and in the boot etc is all clean as a whistle, the boot floor actually looks like it's been polished
Plans for future: 51mm sport suspension, stainless steel exhaust, slipper and maybe a chip for the ecu, though I've been doing some homework and realise that an m20b25 will drop straight in so I may just do that if I can find a cheap engine. Oh, and not to mention sorting the bus-like steering out wiith an e36 rack...
