Love the Dimma/Skeete stuff! When was it factory fitted though? Also - not keen on those style kits on the Golfs.

I remember those Escorts - still, think they were after the 90s? The Red/Orange one was.

yea maybe that one and the cabrio were. taken their inspiration for the 90's kits though surely :lol:

must be about 15 :p

i remember most of these an I'm only 18, were in max power and revs back in't day

One thing that i always remember from the mags back in the 90s was a story of a girl restoring an Escort Cosworth that had been fire bombed, anyone old skools remember it?. It had been petrol bombed and the insurance wouldnt pay out or something IIRC, so she spent months and thousands of pounds bringing the burnt out car back to life, ended up being sprayed canary yellow. It was in Max power i think, like a progress report every issue 8-)

Wasn't an every day occurrence to see wide arched kits though? Maybe I'm just too young to remember/care!

pretty much was around here and this is just some backwards redneck town :lol:

there used to be a real nice 306 dimma in the corner of a back street garage we used to use, it was the owners nephews or some thing, dark met blue, cream leather, split rims, plus a fair bit of smoothing and what not, can't remember which engine it had in it now, may of been an mi16 but can't be 100% sure. it sat there for ages under few mm of dust, fuck knows what happened to it in the end :-(
