1978 Ford Escort 4 Door Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"An all time star on the road and track"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much as at the moment I am in the middle of restoring it.
The 3.0S Capri engine that is going in is sweet as well as the type 9 5 speed gearbox. So that's about it.
General comments?
The best classic anyone could ever ask for.
